Blade Balancing
All blades are grouped by weight. 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,
interchanging two adjacent (side by side)
blades can redistribute the weight and possibly
result in smoother operation.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL
INJURY, DO NOT BEND THE BLADE
HOLDERS WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING
THE BLADES, OR CLEANING THE FAN. DO
NOT INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN
ROTATING FAN BLADES.
