BALANCING FAN / WOBBLING TROUBLE SHOOTING
Please note that all ceiling fans are not the same, even in the same model—some may move more or
less than others.
Movement of a couple of centimeters is quite acceptable and does not suggest the fan will fall down.
Even though all blades are weighted and grouped by weight, it is impossible to eliminate wobble
altogether. This should not be considered a fault. Ceiling fans tend to move during operation due to
the fact that they are not generally rigidly mounted.
TRY THE FOLLOWING TO REDUCE A WOBBLING FAN;
1. Check that all of the blade mounting screws are tightened and secure.
2. Wobbling problems may result from inconsistent blade level. To check the blade level, measure the
distance from each blade tip to the ceiling. Note: If measurements are inconsistent:
- Be sure the blade mount screws are not too tight or too loose, which may cause wobbling due to an unlevel
blade tip
- An out of shape blade can cause wobbling. Check by removing the blade and placing on a flat surface.
3. Blade tracking may be checked simply by use of a household ruler. Place the ruler vertically against
the ceiling and even with the outside leading edge of a blade. Note the distance of the edge of a blade
compared to the others. Turn the blade slowly by hand to check the remaining blades.
If a blade is not in alignment, the blade is either out of shape, warped or the blade screws are not evenly
tighten or either loose.
BALANCING KIT
A Balancing Kit has been provided to assist with reducing a wobble. Please retain the kit as it may
become useful should the fan develop a wobble in the future. Instructions on how to use the Balancing
kit can be found within the Kit.
