LEANING
Periodically it may be necessary to re-tighten blade to blade arm screws or blade arm to motor screws to prevent clicking or
humming sound during operation. This is especially true in climates with broad temperature and humidity ranges.
When dusting the blades, you must support the blade to prevent bending - no pressure should be applied to the blades. If you
experience any flaws in the operation of your fan, please check the following points.

ROUBLESHOOTING
CAUTION: Switch off power supply before carrying out any of these checks.
1. If fan will not start: Check main and branch circuit breakers and/or fuses. Check line wire connections to fan housing
wiring. Make sure forward/reverse switch is set to one or the other position, not stuck in between.
2. If fan is noisy: Check and make sure that all screws in motor housing are snug (but not over tight). Check that the
screws securing blade arms to the motor are tight. Check that wire connectors in switch housing are not rattling against
each other or the interior wall of the switch housing. Check that all glassware is finger tight and that bulb(s) are well
held in the sockets, if a light kit is used. Check that the canopy is firmly attached to hanging bracket and not vibrating
against ceiling.
3. If fan wobbles: Check that all blades are firmly screwed into blade arms. Check that all blade arms are firmly secure to the
motor. Check to make sure that light kit (if present) is firmly attached to switch housing and that all glassware and shades
are fastened properly. Wobble can also result from even the smallest deviations in distance from blade tip to blade tip. If meas-
urements from blade tip to blade tip are not equal, loosen screws connecting blade to blade arm one at a time and adjust
blade(s) so that distances are equal. Interchanging adjacent blades may redistribute mass and result in smoother operation.
Blade arms can be bent slightly to restore same pitch to all blades if a blade is different than the other blades when
viewed edge on. Most wobble can be traced to a loose electrical box or mounting bracket. Make sure these are tight
and the ball is completely seated in the bracket.
