RECOMMENDATIONS
a) Check fuses and circuit breakers.
b) Check wire connections to fan.
c) Check wiring connection in lower canopy.
d) Check voltage at fan connection.
a) Check voltage at fan connection.
b) Blades must be attached to motor to reduce the speed.
c) Adjust the trim set screw in fan wall control if using optional wall control.
If minimum setting is too low the fan may shut off with voltage fluctuations.
Increase minimum.
a) Check motor case to make certain all visible screws are snug.
b) Check to make certain that all blade bracket screws are tight.
c) Check for labels or wire nuts that could be rubbing.
d) All ceiling fans may have a slight motor noise known as the "60 cycle hum" when
used with solid state infinite speed controls, especially on lower speeds. This hum
will not affect the fan performance.
e) Make certain upper canopy is at least 1/8" from ceiling.
f) Allow a 30 day break-in period, which normally eliminates any residual noise other
than a), b), c), d) or e).
a) Check that all blade brackets are screwed firmly to motor case.
b) Check distance from tip of blades to ceiling. If blades get bent during installation,
you must re-adjust them so that all blades travel on same plane. Gently bend up
or down until all distances are the same.
c) Make certain upper canopy is 1/8" from ceiling.
d) Make certain that hanging hooks are secured tightly to ceiling.
e) Run fan without blade. If motor does not wobble, then motor is not defective,
but the blades may be bent.
