Monte Carlo Fan Company 8ATR44 User Manual

1.Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.

2.Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in switch housing.

3.Check to make sure the dip switches from the transmitter and receiver are set on the same

frequency.

1.Check to make sure all screws in motor housing are snug (not over tightened).

2.Check to make sure the screws which attach the fan blade holder to the motor are tight.

3.Check to make sure wire nut connectors in switch housing are not rattling against each other

or against the interior wall of the switch housing.

4.Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls.  DO NOT

5.Allow "break-in" period of 24 hours.  Most noises associated with a new fan will disappear

after this period.

1.Make sure that the ridge of the canopy engages the notch in the downrod ball. 

2.Check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade holders.

3.Check that all blade holders are tightened securely to motor.

4.Make sure that canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to ceiling junction box

and junction box is mounted firmly to ceiling joist.

5.Dynamic balancing involves ‘counter-weighting’. By using a small weight opposite to the point

of wobble, you can in almost all cases eliminate the wobble. The procedure requires much trial

and error, and a certain amount of patience to achieve the correct position of the counterweight.

A) Determine which fan speed causes the most wobble. This will almost always be the highest

speed. B) Turn the fan off. Select any one blade and place the balance clip half way between the

blade tip and blade holder, on the rear edge of the blade. Caution: Be careful to stay clear of

ing off. C) Turn the fan on. Observe if the wobble is better or worse. Turn the fan off and move

the clip to the next blade. Do the same for all blades and note on which blade the clip improves

the wobble the most. D) Place the clip on the blade which showed the most improvement and

by trial and error move the clip in and out along the blade to find the position which most

improves the wobble. E) Remove the clip and discard. Once the exact position is determined,

place a weight on bottom of the metal blade holder on its centerline. Press the weight firmly to

ensure it is firmly attached to the blade holder. Add more weight as needed to balance.

1.Check wire from fan to make sure it is connected to hot wire from house.

2.Check for loose or disconnected wires in fan switch housing.

3.Check for loose or disconnected wires in light kit.

4.Check for faulty light bulbs.
