Hold on to the base. Hold on to the top of the fan unit and gently push the fan back until you have it where you want it.

Make sure the fan is off. Then just grab it by the base and tilt the head wherever you want it.

There is a piece (lever) on the back side of the fans base. Push down to allow the head to move up or down. It takes some force to actually move it, but this this is how it works on mine.

It didn't tilt down much. You could prop it downward by putting under the back, like a 1/2 inch (or so) book. Not the best, but maybe it can meet your needs. When I looked a desk fans I recall that the range of tilting was not great; I use a 1/2" stick to elevate the one I now have.

The bracket is pretty simple; just a big "U" shaped metal strip with a single hole in the center. It pivots at both points at the fan connection. If you use a single bolt to secure the fan bracket, it can swivel if it is not too tight. It sounds like you can bolt the bracket to the window, swivel around the bolt to point the fan, then use the pivot at the fan to aim it up or down. Good fan, BTW; moves lots of air.

To the best of my recollection, the fan is not reversible. I believe the fans have several speeds, but are not reversible. I returned mine for a refund, minus a restocking charge, because they (I bought 2 of them) didn't move enough air to make a difference in my situation.

I returned that fan as soon as I got it. It wasn't what I expected at all. Sorry, I know nothing about the switch. It was a long time ago, but if I recall, it was most likely an electronic switch. It was not the best quality fan, somewhat bigger and not very powerful, if I am remembering correctly.

hello my friend, off course, the fan is a spare part, so, you can change it easy, just remember to buy a 120 mm fan. (sorry for my english, im studing it yet.)

Lol!!!! I just found out. Been searching the internet with same problem. I'm usually good with these things so I was quite frustrated not being able to figure it out, almost broke the darn thing trying to use a small screwdriver as someone had suggested. Anyway the answer is.... (drumroll please)It is AUTO-tilt; so once its been completely opened, continuing to crank the mechanism (I know scary, I was worried I'd break it) actually starts working the tilt mechanism!

Yes, there are two additional clips on the back side of the fan so you can aim it down. Those clips won't allow you to "adjust" where the air is blowing though, they just point the fan down. I used some string to tie the fan at a better angle but this fan doesn't have a lot of air moving power, we used them mostly for white noise and the light and just brought a box fan with us in the camper.

They designed this fan so that you can optimize the individual fan orientation to your liking. Although it can be somewhat limited you are able to freely adjust the fans' placement to your liking. If I were you I would change the fan position to cool that are of your laptop more effectively but ultimately it's up to you what you do with it.

The fan was always running on mine. It came with a giant green sticker with leaves on it, so maybe there's a setting for that I missed, but I don't think so. I ended up selling mine so I can't check.

I love mine. It is tight adjusting the airflow but you won't want it loose to move on it's own. This is a powerful little fan. I have a lot of different fans that run all the time and the quality/compact size makes this one my favorite. Hope you will learn to enjoy it like we do.

My experience with the Cool Attic fan was early on, also. Vibration had evidently loosened the two bolts at each end of the two motor brackets connecting the unit to the fan shroud. This allowed the fan blades to move towards the shroud to scrape (not a squeal, at least to me :))) it. I braced the brackets the opposite direction, tightened the four bracket bolts, and that was helpful. I may tighten the drive belt a bit because it cycles through a vibration occasionally and rubs the bracket-not critical or very noisy. "Squealing" suggest to me a belt noise, too. Maybe needs tightening a bit? My experience with the Cool Attic fan was early on, also.

The Metropolitan ceiling fan is stationary, you can however adjust the head from straight down to straight out.Thank you,Michael H.Dan's Fan CityPhone 813 814-1010

I found I had to hammer the fan blade onto the shaft (hurr hurr...shaft) that comes out of the engine. I think it has some markings on it to indicate how it is meant to be rotated. Once I pounded it on there it seemed to work better. Another problem is you may have the fan blade on backwards e.g. the front is pointing backwards. If that is the case, the blades will likely not generate enough forward facing air.

My fan runs great no problem with wobble or tilt.I use it everywhere.Uneven ground has no effect on it as far as running smooth. Believe me I would complain if it did after paying the extra bucks for a industrial fan. Sounds like yours has the fan blades out of balance causing the wobble and the tilt to move on it. I cant suggest a fix for it but there is other alternatives if you just bought it.

Yes, it will tilt downward, but not very much, and it will stay that way. It will, however, tilt upward facing the ceiling. I love this fan, it's small and powerful!

I returned it and got a on / off and leave fan on high. You do seldom adjust speed so did the same thing for all other fans in house and am totally satisfied with the solution.
