Place Fiber washer on screw. Insert this assembly
1
through the blade and start the screw into the blade
arm. Repeat this procedure without tightening the
screw until all 3 screws have been started into the
blade arm.
Tighten each screw starting with center screw.
2
Fasten blade assembly to motor with provided
3
screws and lockwashers. Repeat procedure for
remaining blades. Make sure screws are TIGHT!
Loose motor screws can contribute to unnecessary
hum during operation.
NOTE:
Cordless power screwdrivers are NOT recommended,
as they usually strip the heads of the screws and
usually will not fully compress the lock washers on
the motor screws. Use a large flat blade screwdriver
for final tightening to fully compress the washers. This
will help ensure proper alignment of the blades and
noise-free, wobble-free running.
NOTE: Be sure the power is off before installing.
Remove one of the three screws on the mounting hub located
1
on the fan motor. Loosen the other 2 screws. (Do not remove)

previously loosened, turn the adapter plate until it locks in
place at the narrow section of the key holes. Secure by
tightening the 2 screws previously loosened and the one
previously removed.
