Blade Assembly; Testing Your Fan - Craftmade PFC52 Guia De Instalacion

9. Blade Assembly.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious bodily
injury, DO NOT use power tools to assemble the
blades. If overtightened, blades may crack and break.
Time Saver: Washers for blade screws can be set on
each blade screw prior to installing blades.
Locate 15 blade attachment screws and washers in
hardware pack. Hold blade arm up to blade and
align holes. Insert 3 blade attachment screws (along
with washers) with fingers first and then tighten
screws securely with Phillips screwdriver. Repeat
procedure for the remaining blades.
Remove blade arm screws and lock washers from
underside of motor. If plastic motor locks are
installed with blade arm screws, discard plastic
motor locks (save blade arm screws and lock washers
to secure blade arms). Align blade arm holes with
motor screw holes and attach blade arm with lock
washers and blade arm screws. [Important: If
applicable, when installing blade arm, place a long
fiber washer (provided in a hardware pack) between
motor and blade arm to reduce vibration of metal to
metal surfaces.] Before securing screws permanently,
repeat procedure with remaining blade arms.
Securely tighten all screws.
Note: Tighten blade arm screws twice a year.

10. Testing Your Fan.

It is recommended that you test fan before finalizing
installation. Restore power from circuit box and light
switch (if applicable). Test fan speeds with the pull chain.
Start at the OFF position (no blade movement). First pull
will set the fan to HI. Second pull will set the fan to
MEDIUM. Third pull will set the fan to LOW. Fourth pull
will again set the fan to the OFF setting. If fan does not
function, please refer to "Troubleshooting" section to
solve any issues before contacting Customer Service.
Turn fan completely off before moving the reverse switch.
Set reverse switch to recirculate air depending on the
season:
- DOWN position in summer (diagram 1)
- UP position in winter (diagram 2)
A ceiling fan will allow you to raise your thermostat
setting in summer and lower your thermostat setting in
winter without feeling a difference in your comfort.
Important: Reverse switch must be set either completely
UP or completely DOWN for fan to function. If the reverse
switch is set in the middle position (diagram 3), fan will
not operate.
Attach pull chain extension supplied or custom pull
chain extension (sold separately) to end of the pull chain.
