Attaching the
Fan Blades
NOTE: Your fan blade are reversible. Select the
blade side finish which best accentuates your
decor.
1. Attach blade to blade bracket using the
screws supplied (Figure 9). Start a screw
into the bracket. Repeat for the two remain-
ing screws.
2. Tighten each screw securely.
3. Insert the blade/blade bracket assembly
through the hole in the side of the center
fly wheel, align the two screws holes in the
bracket with the screw holes in the center
flywheel and secure with screws and lock-
washers supplied (Figure 10).
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the remaining blades.
Blade Balancing
All blades are grouped by weight. Because nat-
ural woods vary in density, the fan may wobble
even though the blades are weight matched.
The following procedure should correct most
fan wobble. Check after each step.
1. Check that all blade screws are secure.
2. Most fan wobble problems are caused when
blade levels are unequal. Check this level by
Figure 9
selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip
of one of the blades. Measure from a point
on the center of each blade to the point on
the ceiling. Measure this distance as shown
in Figure 11. Rotate the fan until the next
blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat
for each blade. Measurement deviations
should be within 1/8". Run the fan for 10
minutes.
3. If the fan continues to wobble please con-
tact Customer Service and a balacing kit
will be sent to you at no charge.
