CARE OF AND TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR FAN
1. Check hardware bi-yearly. Because of the fan's natural movement some connections may
become loose over time. Check the support connections, brackets and blade attachments
twice a year. Make sure they are secure. It is not necessary to remove fan from the wall.
2. Clean your fan periodically. This will help to help maintain its new appearance over the
years. Use only a lightly water-moistened, lint free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. Plated
finishes are sealed with lacquer to minimize discoloration or tarnishing. Do not let rain or
running water to come in contact with the fan. Rain or running water could damage the motor
or possibly cause an electrical shock.
3. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.
4. Fan makes a vibration noise. Check to see that all screws are tight in the fan cage
connection to the motor face plate.
5. Fan vibrates or makes grinding noise as blades rotate. Uninstall and reinstall the blades.
Make sure that your fan head's set screw is counter-sunk into the bore hole in the flat part of
the motor shaft. Be careful that the blade brackets themselves are not bent in this process.
Do not operate your fan if it continues to vibrate. Contact your Atlas Fan Co purveyor if the
re-installation of the blades does not resolve the problem.
