Care of Your Fan
Here are some suggestions to help you maintain your fan.
1. Because of the fan's natural movement, some connections may become loose.
Check the support connections, brackets, and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure. (It is not necessary to remove fan
from ceiling.)
2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Do not use water when cleaning, this could damage the motor,
or possibly cause an electrical shock. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer to
minimize discoloration or tarnishing. Warning - Make sure the power is off before cleaning your fan.
3. You can apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood for additional protection and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a light
application of shoe polish.
4. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated sealed ball bearings.
Troubleshooting
Problem
Solution
Fan will not start
1. Check main and branch circuit fuses or breakers
2. Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
3. Check batteries in the transmitter. Does the red LED light come on? Are you standing close enough to the fan?
(Normal range is 10-20 feet.) Are the dip switch settings the same on the transmitter (hand unit) and receiver?
REMEMBER TO TURN OFF POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CHECKING THE DIP SWITCH SETTINGS IN
RECEIVER.
Fan sounds noisy
1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub are tight.
3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure power is off.
4. Allow a 24-hour "breaking in" period. Most noises associated with a new fan disappear during this time.
5. If using the ceiling fan light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that the light bulb is also
secure.
6. Make sure the canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling.
7. Make sure your electrical box is secure and rubber isolator pads were used between the mounting bracket and electrical box.
