AFTER INSTALLATION
20.
WOBBLE:
The fan blades have been adjusted in the factory to minimize any wobble.
NOTE:
¾
CEILING FANS TEND TO MOVE DURING OPERATION DUE TO THE FACT
THAT THEY ARE MOUNTED ON A RUBBER GROMMET. IF THE FAN WAS
MOUNTED RIGIDLY TO THE CEILING IT WOULD CAUSE EXCESSIVE
VIBRATION. MOVEMENT OF A FEW CENTIMETRES IS QUITE ACCEPTABLE
AND DOES NOT SUGGEST ANY PROBLEM.
TO REDUCE THE FAN WOBBLE: PLEASE CHECK THAT ALL SCREWS WHICH SECURED
THE MOUNTING BRACKET AND DOWN ROD ARE SECURE.
21.
BALANCING A WOBBLING CEILING FAN:
For your convenience, a Balancing Kit is included; please follow this procedure when
balancing the fan:
¾
Install fan without light kit before balancing the fan;
¾
Define the base plate into four areas (point A, B, C & D). Use one weight from the
balance kit to lightly stick on the edge of the base plate (say point A), if the wobble
worsens, then take off the balance kit and lightly stick it on the opposite side (say
point B); if the wobble is worse, then go to the adjacent point C or D, if the wobble
gets better, then securely stick on the weight at this location on the base plate. This
can be further refined by moving the weight inwards towards the motor;
¾
After balancing the fan, assemble the light kit to the light base.
22.
NOISE:
When it is quiet (especially at night) you may hear occasional small noises. Slight power
fluctuations and frequency signals superimposed in the electricity for off-peak hot water
control, may cause a change in fan motor noise. This is normal. Please allow a 24-hour
“breaking -in” period, most noises associated with a new fan disappear during the time.
The manufacturer’s warranty covers actual faults that may develop and NOT minor
complaints such as hearing the motor run – All electric motors are audible to some
extent.
NOTE:
¾
ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROLS COULD DAMAGE THIS FAN, AND CAUSE
IT TO BE NOISY. THE USE OF ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROLS OR ANY
CONTROL OTHER THAN AN APPROVED BRAND CONTROL WILL VOID THE
WARRANTY.
NO SPEED CONTROL CAN BE FITTED TO A REMOTE CONTROLLED CEILING FAN.
