17. TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem

Fan will not start.

Fan sounds noisy.

Solution

1. Check circuit fuses or breakers.

2. Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the
switch housing. CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.

3. Check to make sure the dip switches from the transmitter and receiver are
set to the same frequency.

4. Check to make sure the batteries are installed porperly. ( postive +side
facing out)
5 . Check to make sure the batteries are not dead.

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 rubbing against each other or the
interior wall of the switch housing. CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.

4. Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noise associated with a new fan
disappear during this time.

5. If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware
are tight. Check that light bulb is also secure.

6. Do not connect the fan with wall mounted variable speed control(s).

7. Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should
not touch the ceiling.

Fan wobble.

1. Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.

2. 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. Rotate the fan until the next blade is
positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. The distance deviation
should be equal within 1/8".

3. Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the blade wobble is still noticeable.

4. If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by
side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother
operation.

Remote control
malfunction.

1. Do not connect the fan with wall mounted variable speed control(s).

2. Make sure the dip switches are set correctly.
