  If your HAMPTON BAY Fan wobbles, try these steps: * First, check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure. * Next, measure the distance from each blade to the ceiling; any deviation should be within 1/8 inch. Run the fan for ten minutes. * If the wobble persists, use the blade balancing kit included with your fan.

  To address a noisy HAMPTON BAY Fan, try the following: * Ensure all motor housing screws are snug. * Check that the screws attaching the fan blade bracket to the motor hub are tight. * Make sure the wire nut connections aren't rattling against each other or the switch housing's interior wall. * Allow a 24-hour “breaking in” period, as most new fan noises disappear then. * If using a light kit, tighten the glassware screws and ensure the light bulbs are secure. * Confirm the canopy isn't touching the ceiling. * Verify your outlet box is secure and rubber isolator pads were used between the mounting plate and outlet box.

This document is a user and care guide for a Hampton Bay Industrial 60-inch Ceiling Fan. It provides detailed instructions for installation, operation, and maintenance, along with important safety information and technical specifications.

Function Description:

The Hampton Bay Industrial 60-inch Ceiling Fan is designed to provide air circulation in a room. It features a 60-inch blade span, making it suitable for larger spaces. The fan operates with a 4-speed wall control, allowing users to adjust the airflow to their preference. A key feature is its reversible blade rotation, which enables both warm weather (downward airflow for cooling) and cool weather (upward airflow to circulate warm air from the ceiling) operation. The fan is intended for residential use and is designed for easy installation with a mounting bracket that can be secured to a UL-listed outlet box. It also includes a safety cable for additional security during installation.

Important Technical Specifications:

The fan operates on 120 Volts. The specifications table provides detailed performance metrics across different speed settings:

Low Speed: 0.41 Amps, 17 Watts, 64 RPM, 3709 CFM, 218 CFM/Watt.
Medium Speed: 0.59 Amps, 34 Watts, 111 RPM, 5570 CFM, 164 CFM/Watt.
High 1 Speed: 0.89 Amps, 81 Watts, 161 RPM, 8702 CFM, 107 CFM/Watt.
High 2 Speed: 1.04 Amps, 118 Watts, 194 RPM, 9999 CFM, 84 CFM/Watt.

The fan has a net weight of 17.64 lbs (8 kgs) and a gross weight of 19.4 lbs (8.8 kgs), with a cube feet measurement of 1.43'. The airflow efficiency (CFM/Watt) is higher at lower speeds, indicating better energy efficiency when operating at reduced settings. The fan is designed to be mounted to an outlet box capable of reliably supporting 35 lbs (15.9kg) or less. It is UL Listed, ensuring compliance with safety standards. The maximum allowable angle for installation on a sloped ceiling is 30° away from horizontal.

Usage Features:

4-Speed Wall Control: The fan comes with a wall control that allows users to select from four different speed settings to customize airflow.
Reversible Blade Rotation: A slide switch located on the coupler (J) enables the user to reverse the direction of blade rotation. For warm weather, the switch should be in the down position for a downward airflow that creates a cooling effect. For cool weather, the switch should be in the up position for an upward airflow that moves warm air off the ceiling, helping to circulate heat. It is crucial to ensure the fan blades have completely stopped before changing the direction of rotation.
Easy Installation: The guide provides step-by-step instructions for assembling the downrod, mounting the bracket, hanging the fan, connecting electrical wires, and attaching the canopy and blades. It highlights the use of a hanger bar for installations where a ceiling joist is not directly available.
Pre-assembled Blades: The blade and blade arms are pre-assembled at the factory, simplifying the installation process. The blades feature new technology for higher efficiency and are not reversible in their physical attachment.
Safety Features: The fan includes a safety cable that must be connected to a wood screw in the ceiling or directly to the outer joist/mounting bracket for added security. Warnings are provided against bending blade brackets, using solid-state speed control devices, and operating the reversing switch while blades are in motion.

Maintenance Features:

Periodic Inspection: Users are advised to check support connections, brackets, and blade attachments twice a year to ensure they are secure, as natural movement can cause some connections to loosen.
Cleaning: The fan should be cleaned periodically to maintain its appearance. Cleaning should be done with a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. Water should not be used for cleaning to prevent damage to the motor, wood, or potential electrical shock. The plating is sealed with lacquer to minimize discoloration.
Wood Blade Care: For models with wood blades, a light coat of furniture polish can be applied for additional protection and enhanced beauty. Small scratches can be covered with a light application of shoe polish.
Lubrication-Free Motor: The fan motor is permanently-lubricated with sealed ball bearings, eliminating the need for users to oil the fan.
Troubleshooting Guide: The manual includes a troubleshooting section to help users diagnose and resolve common issues such as the fan not starting, noisy operation, or wobbling. For wobbling issues, it suggests checking blade and blade arm screws and measuring blade levels. If wobbling persists, a balancing kit can be requested from customer service.
