4. Troubleshooting Guide

   Table of Contents

   • 1. Fan / Remote is not working
   • 2. Fan is noisy
   • 3. Fan Wobbles
   • 4. Light is not working

   Please refer to the instruction sheet for detailed directions and descriptions of installation steps and requirements.

   1. FAN / REMOTE IS NOT WORKING

   Ensure the remote is within the 20 foot range of the receiver.

   To reset the remote control: 1) Turn off power to fan using the wall switch or circuit breaker. 2) Remove batteries from remote. 3) Wait 10 seconds. 4) Replace batteries and turn power on.

   Check batteries to ensure they are good and oriented correctly.

   Check the main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.

   If using a Variable Speed Wall Switch, ensure it is specifically designed for use with a ceiling fan.

   Check the line wire connections to the fan and the switch wire connections in the switch housing per the instructions.

   If fan still does not work, please contact Customer Service: Support@parrotuncle.com

   2. THE FAN IS NOISY

   Make sure all motor housing screws are tightened.

   Make sure the screws that attach fan blade to motor are tight.

   Make sure the wire nut connectors are not rattling against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing.

   Allow a 24-hour break-in period. Most noises associated with the new fan may disappear during this time.

   If using a ceiling light kit, make sure the glassware is secured tightly.

   Make sure there is a short distance/gap from the ceiling to the top of the canopy. The canopy should not touch the ceiling!

   Make sure your ceiling box is secure and that the rubber isolator pads are used between the mounting bracket and outlet box.

   3. THE FAN WOBBLES

   Verify all blades and blade bracket screws are secure (most fan wobble problems are caused by loose parts). Once fan is properly installed, run the ceiling fan for 10 minutes to let the fan self-adjust.

   If wobble occurs after running the fan for 10 minutes, verify blade level using the following process:

   a) Select a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades. Then select the fan blade and measure from the center of the selected blade to the point on the ceiling. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned and repeat the measurement using the same point from the ceiling for every blade. Measurements should be within 1/8 inch.

   b) If all deviations are less than 1/8 inch and the fan continues to wobble, please contact Customer Service: Support@parrotuncle.com to order a complimentary Blade Balancing Kit.

   If all deviations are less than 1/8 inch and the fan continues to wobble, please contact Customer Service: Support@parrotuncle.com to order a complimentary Blade Balancing Kit.

   4. LIGHT IS NOT WORKING

   Check bulb to make sure it is installed correctly.

   Remove non-working bulb and replace with a bulb that is known to be a good working bulb.

   To reset the remote control: 1) Turn off power to fan using the wall switch or circuit breaker. 2) Remove batteries from remote. 3) Wait 10 seconds. 4) Replace batteries and turn power on.

After Installation

WOBBLE

The fan blades have been adjusted in the factory to minimize any wobble.

NOTE: 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 EXCESS VIBRATION. MOVEMENT OF A FEW CENTIMETERS 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 DOWNROD ARE SECURE.

BALANCING A WOBBLING CEILING FAN:

For your convenience, a Balancing Kit is included; please follow this procedure when balancing the fan:

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" (0.32cm).
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.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT BEND THE BLADE ARM WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING THE BLADES, OR CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN ROTATING FAN BLADES.

NOISE

When it is quiet (especially at night) you may hear occasional small noises. This is normal. Please allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period, most noises associated with a new fan disappear during this time.

CARE AND CLEANING

1. Periodic cleaning of your ceiling fan is the only maintenance required. Use a soft brush or lint free cloth to avoid scratching the paint finish. Please make sure to turn off electricity power before you clean your fan.
2. Do not use water when cleaning your ceiling fan. It could damage the motor or the blades and create the possibility of an electrical shock.
3. Motor has permanently lubricated ball bearing. No need to oil.

NOTE: MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT ANY CLEANING OR REPAIRS.

Operating Your Fan

Turn on the power and check the operation of the fan. The fan remote controls the fan speed as follows:

• 1 = low speed
• 2 = medium low speed
• 3 = medium speed
• 4 = medium high speed
• 5 = high speed
• 6 = Extra high speed

The appropriate speed settings for warm or cool weather depends on factors such as the room size, ceiling height, and number of fans.

The remote control (XX) controls the direction of the blades: forward or reverse.

A. Warm weather - (Forward)

This allows you to set your air conditioner on a higher setting without affecting your comfort.

B. Cool weather - (Reverse)

This allows Reverse you to set heating unit on a lower setting without affecting your comfort.
