Operating instructions
Having checked that all electrical connections are securely made and insulated, turn on
the power and check the operation of the fan. The pull switch on the side of the motor
housing is the selection switch for the speed function of the fan and is also the on/off
function. The first pull from the off position takes you onto the high speed; the second
onto medium speed; the third onto slow speed and the fourth pull to the off position.
The slide switch on the other side of the switch housing changes the direction of rotation of
the blades. (Remember to let the fan slow to a complete stop before changing the direction
of rotation). When looking up at the fan blades, anti–clockwise rotation achieves a
downward flow of air and clockwise rotation achieves an upward movement of air.
Summer operation – In warm weather a downward movement of air is more desirable as
this achieves a greater cooling effect.
Winter operation – In winter a movement of air upwards and then back down the sides of
the room achieves a more balanced temperature throughout the room.
If a wall control or remote control system has been used refer to the accompanying leaflets
enclosed in these systems.
Blade balancing
Whilst every precaution is taken at the factory to ensure your fan is of the highest quality,
imbalance may occur. This may be due to slight irregularities in the blades or blade
carriers. Further problems can be caused by deviating from these instructions.
The following procedure may help to rectify the situation.
The hanger bracket must always be tight against the ceiling so that no movement can
occur.
Make sure that the rod is firmly locked into the boss on top of the fan. The locking
screw should be securely tightened.
Check all the blades are firmly tightened on to their carrier brackets.
Check all the carrier brackets are tightened on to the motor firmly.
Blade tracking can easily be checked by holding a yardstick or similar measure vertically
from the ceiling to the tip of the blade. Then check all blades measure the same distance
from that point. To correct slight problems in the alignment of a blade, gently bend the
carrier to bring it back in line.
Changing over two adjacent blades – may correct any imbalance.
Use the universal balancing kit supplied with the fan.
Please note that drop rod styles of fans do have a slight level of movement but this is
in no way dangerous.
