MAINTENANCE 10. 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, and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure. (It is not necessary to remove fan from ceiling.) 2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Do not use water when cleaning. This could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock. 3.
11. TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Solution Fan will not start. 1. Check fuses or circuit breakers. 2. Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in switch housing. CAUTION: Make sure main power is off. 1. Allow a 24-hour "break-in" period. Most noises associated with a new fan go away during this time. 2. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug. 3. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub are tight. 4.
