Operating Your Fan
NOTE
WAIT FOR FAN TO STOP BEFORE CHANGING THE SETTING OF THE SLIDE SWITCH.
Turn on the power and check the operation of your fan. There are two pull chains available in your fan:
- 3-speed pull chain- it controls the fan speed as follows:
1 pull- High,
2 pulls- Medium,
3 pulls- Low, and
4 pulls- Off.
Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend on factors such as the room size, ceiling height, number of fans, and so on. - Light kit pull chain- it controls the light kit in "ON" or "OFF".
The slide switch controls directions: forward (switch down ) or reverse (switch up ).
Warm weather - (Counter - Clockwise direction) A downward air flow creates a cooling effect. (Fig. 19) This allows you to set your air conditioner on a higher setting without affecting your comfort.
![]()
Cool weather- (Clockwise direction) An upward airflow moves warm air off the ceiling area. (Fig. 20) This allows you to set your heating unit on a lower setting without affecting your comfort.

Care of Your Fan
Here are some suggestions to help you maintain your fan
- 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.)
- Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. 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. Do not use water when cleaning. This could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock.
- You can apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood blades for additional protection and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.
- There is no need to oil your fan.
The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.

MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT ANY REPAIRS. REFER TO THE SECTION "MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS"
Troubleshooting
Problem | Solution |
Fan will not start. | - Check circuit fuses or breakers.
- Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing.
![]() Make sure main power is off. |
Fan sounds noisy. | - Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
- Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub is tight.
- Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing.
![]() Make sure main power is off. - Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noise associated with a new fan disappear during this time.
- If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that the light bulb is also secure.
- Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from solid-state variable speed controls. If you have installed this type of control, choose and install another type of control.
- Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling.
|
Fan wobble. | - Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
- Most fan wobbling problems are caused when blade levels are unequal. Check this level by selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades. Measure this distance.(Fig. 21)
![]() Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. The distance deviation should be equal within 1/8". - Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the blade wobble is still noticeable.
- If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
![]() TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT BEND THE BLADE ARM WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING THE BLADES, OR CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN ROTATING FAN BLADES. |
