Attaching the Fan Blades
Step 1. Attach the blades to the blade arms using
three screws and fiber washers as shown in Figure
14. Start a screw into the blade arm, do not
tighten. Repeat for the 2 remaining screws and
washers.
Step 2. Tighten each screw securely starting with
the center screw. Make sure the blade is straight.
Step 3. Fasten the blade assembly to the motor
using the motor screws provided.
Step 4. Repeat these steps for the remaining
blades.

Blade Balancing
All blades are grouped by weight. Because
natural woods very in density, the fan may
wobble even though the blades are weighed
equally.
The following procedure should correct most fan
wobbling problems. Check after each step.
1. Check that all blade and blade arm screws are
secure.
2. Most fan wobbling problems are caused when
blade levels are unequal. Check this level by
selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of
one of the blades. Measure this distance as
shown in Figure 15. Rotate the fan until the
next blade is positioned for measurement.
Repeat for each blade. The distance deviation
should be equal within 1/8".
3. Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the
blade wobble is still noticeable.
4. If the blade wobble is still noticeable,
