PoSSIBlE REMEdIES
• Check the main circuit fuses, circuit breakers, and wall switch position. Check all
wire connections. Make sure the power is turned off during this inspection.
• Pin connectors are not making good contact. Check all connections.
• The battery is weak. Install a fresh battery.
• The fan receiver is defective. Replace the fan receiver.
• Check the frequency setting: turn the power off at the circuit breaker for the
fan that is not functioning only. Check that the jumper switches match in both
the receiver and the transmitter. turn the power back on (at the circuit breaker)
and push the up and down buttons at the same time, within 20 seconds from
restoring power.
• Be sure the canopy pin is set properly into the slot on the ball.
• Check that the bladeholders have not been bent during installation and the blades
are balanced.
• The hanger bracket and/or the ceiling outlet are attached too loosely. Make sure
the hanger bracket is attached tightly to the ceiling outlet box and the downrod
assembly is secured firmly.
• The downrod is attached to the downrod base too loosely. Make sure all the
screws are securely tightened.
• When changing fan speeds, you may hear several audible clicks. This is normal
operation.
• Check and tighten the light fixture retaining screws, glass shade screws, and/or
lightbulb(s).
• Tighten the canopy screws and mounting plate assembly. Make sure the wire
nuts inside the canopy and switch housing are not touching the metal parts and
that they have not fallen off the wire splices. tighten as necessary.
• Tighten the blade holders to the flywheel (or direct drive motor) and the blades
to the bladeholder screws.
• Make sure all the screws in the motor housing are snug but not overly tight.
• If fan is new, it may need to be "broken in." Run at high speed for several days.
• Replace with alkaline batteries.
NOTE: In compliance with US Federal Energy Regulations,
this ceiling fan contains a device that restricts the light fixture
to a maximum of 190 watts. Exceeding that limit or the marked
limit on this product may result in a fire hazard or improper
