8. Blade Assembly.
Time Saver: Washers for blade screws can be set on each
blade screw prior to installing blades.
Separate blade arms according to the shape between the
2 screw holes on one side--3 have circles, 3 have ellipses
and 3 have long groove shapes. This shape will correspond
with the shape on the different lengths of blades: the long
blades have circles, the medium blades have ellipses and
the short blades have the long, groove shape.
Locate 36 blade attachment screws and washers
in one of the hardware packs. Hold blade plate up
to one of the blades, aligning holes in blade plate
with holes in blade as shown.
blade arm and align with the same shape on
blade. Then, lower blade arm over blade holes as
shown in diagram at right. Partially insert 4 blade
attachment screws (along with washers). Securely
tighten screws with a Phillips screwdriver only
after all 4 screws have been inserted. Repeat
procedure for each blade (3 long, 3 medium and
3 short).
Remove blade arm screws/lock washers from
motor plate on underside of fan motor and set
aside. PLEASE NOTE the different shapes--circles,
diamonds and triangles--in between each set of
motor screw holes. These shapes correspond to
the shapes between the screw holes at the end of
each blade arm and are there to ensure blades are
installed in the correct order.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, personal injury or damage to the fan, it is
VERY IMPORTANT that blades are installed in the
order indicated on the motor plate.
Align blade arm holes and specific shape (circle,
diamond or triangle) with motor screw holes and
specific shape (circle, diamond or triangle) on
motor plate and attach blade arm with blade arm
screws/lock washers. Before securing screws
permanently, repeat this procedure with remaining
blade arms. Securely tighten all screws.
NOTE: Tighten blade arm screws twice a year.
9. Light Kit Assembly
(Optional).
Remove 3 screws from LED plate (on underside of motor
housing).
Place shade inside shade fitter* and align holes. Raise
shade fitter (with shade or metal cover) and align holes
with holes in LED plate. Re-insert 3 screws that were just
removed and tighten all screws securely. Do NOT
overtighten screws as shade may crack or break.
*NOTE: If you wish to use the fan WITHOUT the light, use
metal cover instead of shade and place metal cover inside
shade fitter. Continue with instructions in second
paragraph, this section.
