Care of Your Fan Troubleshooting
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,
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
2.
new appearance over the years. Do not use water
when cleaning. 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
3.
the wood blades 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.

Fan sounds noisy

SOLUTION
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.
3.
Check to make sure the dip switches from the transmitter and receiver
are set to the same frequency.
1.
Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
2.
Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub
is tight.
3.
Make sure wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or
the interior wall of the switch housing.
4.
Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noises associated with a
new fan disappear during this time.
5.
If using ceiling fan light kit, make sure the screws securing the
glassware are tight. Check that the light bulb is also secure.
6.
Make sure there is a short distance from the ceiling to the canopy. It
should not touch the ceiling.
7.
Make sure your ceiling box is secure and rubber isolator pads are used
between mounting bracket and outlet box.
1.
Do not connect the fan with a wall mounted variable speed control(s).
2.
Make sure the dip switches are set correctly.
