FAN WILL NOT START
1.

Check that the electricity has been

turned on at the circuit breaker which had 
probably been turned off during 
installation.

2.

Turn off the electricity.  Check all

connections in the wiring of the fan at the 
ceiling and make sure it follows the 
wiring instructions outlined in this 
manual.

3.

Be sure ON/OFF power switch on the

wall control is in ON position.

NOISE
Note:

 Always allow a day or two "run-in" 

time for any new fan at medium or high 
speed.  When attempting to diagnose 
noise, listen carefully from several sides 
to try and isolate the location of the noise 
(blade, upper end, motor, light kit, etc.)

1.

Tighten all screws attaching blades to

blade arms.  Remember to tighten these 
screws at least once a year because they 
may loosen slowly over time and cause a 
clicking noise.

2.

Turn off the power.  Loosen the

canopy and check that the wiring and/or 
wire nut connectors are not resting against 
the canopy, possibly vibrating while the 
fan is on.

3.

Use of a standard light rheostat or an

unapproved fan wall control to control the 
fan speed will always cause an annoying 
"hum".  Many fan motors do not work 
quietly with solid state variable speed 
controls.

4.

Check that the rubber gasket on the

mounting bracket has been installed if 
called for in the installation instructions.

5.

Check that the canopy in not touching

the ceiling.

6.

Check that all screws on the motor

housing and the bottom housing are tight.

FAN TURNS, BUT DOES NOT MOVE 
MUCH AIR
1.

The fan may be running in reverse.

Press the reverse button on transmitter to 
set the fan in forward operation.

2.

The distance from the ceiling to the

blades may be too small.  For downrod 
fans, optimal placement would be 8-9 feet 
from the floor.

3.

The room may contain items which

obstruct the air flow.

4.

The fan may be too small for the size

of the room.

EXCESSIVE WOBBLE 
Note: 

A small amount of wobble is 

considered acceptable and should not be 
considered a defect.

1.

Make certain all blades are tightly

attached to each blades' respective blade 
arm.
