CARE OF AND TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR FAN

Here are some suggestions to help maintain your fan.

1. 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 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, wood blades 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 actually vibrates. 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.

6. Fan Oscillation is irregular/not smooth. The decorative motor mount knobs are to swivel with

the oscillation of the fan. This movement is important. If your oscillation is irregular and not

smooth, it could be that your decorative knobs are too tight, touching the yoke and not

permitting the oscillation motor to operate properly. Loosen the knobs slightly so that the knob

is not touching the yoke assembly. As a rule of thumb, you should have a 1/32" clearance

between the knob and yoke assembly. Do not loosen the knob too much. Doing so will cause it

to fall of during operation of the fan.

Caution: Ensure the fan is switched off from the supply mains before removing the guard.

NOTE: AN ADDITIONAL ALL POLE DISCONNECTION SWITCH MUST BE INCLUDED IN

THE FIXED WIRING.

WARNING: All electrical connections and disconnections must be performed by a licensed

Electrician.
