TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

TROUBLE SUGGESTED REMEDY
1. If fan does not start: 1. Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
2. Check wire connections as performed in step #6 or #7 of installation.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off.
3. Make sure forward/reverse switch is firmly in up or down position.
Fan will not operate when switch is in the middle.
4. If the fan still will not start, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to troubleshoot internal electrical connections yourself.
1. Check to make sure all screws in motor housing are snug (not over tightened).
2. If fan sounds noisy:
2. Check to make sure the screws which attach the fan blade holder to the motor are tight.
3. If using an optional Ceiling Fan Light Kit, check to be sure the screws securing the glassware are finger tight.
Check to be sure light bulb is tight in socket and not touching glass shade(s). If vibration persists from glass,
remove glass and install a 6mm wide rubber band on glass neck to act as an insulator. Replace glass and tighten
screws against rubber band.
4. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls.
DO NOT USE a Solid State variable speed control.
5. Allow "break-in" period of 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan will disappear after this period.
All blades are weighed and grouped by weight. Natural woods vary in density which could cause the fan to wobble even
3. If fan wobbles:
though all blades are weight-matched. The following procedures should eliminate most of the wobble. Check for
wobble after each step.
Touching
1. Check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade holders.
Ceiling
2. Check that all blade holders are tightened securely to motor.
3. Make sure that canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to ceiling joist.
4. Most fan wobble problems are caused when blade levels are unequal. Check this level by selecting a point on the
Figure 1
ceiling above the tip of one of the blades.Measure this distance as shown in Figure 1. Keeping measure within
3mm, rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. If all blade levels
Blade Tip Down:
are not equal, you can adjust blade levels by the following procedure. To adjust a blade tip down, insert a washer

(not supplied) between the blade and blade holder at the screw closest to the motor (Figure 2). To adjust a blade

tip up, insert washer (not supplied) between the blade and blade holder at the two screws farthest from the
Blade Tip Up: motor (Figure 2).

5. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight
and possibly result in smoother operation.
4. If light does not work:
1. Check to see that the wire connections in the switch housing are connected.
2. Check for faulty light bulbs.
3. If light kit will still not operate, contact a qualified electrician for assistance.
If you have difficulty operating your new ceiling fan, it may be the result of incorrect assembly, installation, or wiring. In some cases, these
installation errors may be mistaken for defects. If you experience any faults, please check this troubleshooting chart. If a problem cannot be
remedied, please consult with your qualified electrician and do not attempt any electrical repairs yourself.

NOTICE
This 'Energy Policy Act 2005' compliant fan includes a device
that limits the total wattage of its light fixture to 190 watts.
By installing a combination of light bulbs that exceeds 190 watts or if an
electrical surge causes the wattage to exceed 190 watts the light fixture
will automatically turn off.
To restore the light levels, make sure the total wattage of the light bulbs
does not exceed 190 watts and follow the applicable directions below:
For fans with Pull Chains:
Pull the light fixture's pull chain two times to reset the light fixture.
If the power to your fan is controlled by a toggle wall switch, it may
be necessary to turn the power off and back on at the wall switch.
For fans with Wall Controls:
Press the light button on the wall control "off" and "on"
once to reset the light fixture.
For fans with Remote Controls:
If you verify the wattage and the lights do not turn on, press the
light button on the remote control twice to reset the light fixture.
NOTE: If the procedures above do not reset the lights,
turn off the main power source, located at the breaker panel or box,
and then turn it on again.
