BLADE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
BLADE ORIENTATION
BLADE INSTALLATION
Step 10.
Orientation of fan blades. Note that the Malibu Star
fan only rotates in the clockwise direction (when looking up
at the fan on the ceiling). As you face the motor a fan blade
extending from the motor to you will have its leading edge on
your right.

Step 11.
Use the allen wrench provided
to loosen the four (4) allen screws on
each of the blade clamps but do not
remove completely. Insert each blade
with the proper orientation (as described
in previous Step 9).
NOTE: Before securing the fan blade
adjust the ‘pitch’ or angle of the blade
for either upward or downward air flow,
as described below in Step 11.
Step 12.
The pitch angle should be no more than 15° upward
or downward. Each blade must be adjusted to the same pitch
angle, otherwise the rotating fan will wobble. Tighten the four
(4) allen screws on each blade clamp. Check after tightening
to be sure they are all tight.
CAUTION! DO NOT attempt to
adjust the tension on wire holding the
silk cloth in the blade. These have all
been factory adjusted.
