Blade balancing
Whilst every precaution is taken at the factory to ensure your fan is of the highest quality,
imbalance may occur. This may be due to slight irregularities in the blades or blade
carriers. Further problems can be caused by deviating from these instructions.
The following procedure may help to rectify the situation.
The round plate must always be tight against the ceiling so that no movement can occur.
If the installation requires a rod style make sure that the rod is firmly locked into the boss
on top of the fan. The locking screw should be securely tightened.
Check all the blades are firmly tightened on to their carrier brackets.
Check all the carrier brackets are tightened on to the motor firmly.
Blade tracking can easily be checked by holding a yardstick or similar measure vertically
from the ceiling to the tip of the blade. Then check all blades measure the same distance
from that point. To correct slight problems in the alignment of a blade, gently bend the
carrier to bring it back in line.
Changing over two adjacent blades may correct any imbalance.
Use the universal balancing kit supplied with the fan.
Please note that drop rod styles of fans do have a slight level of movement but his is in no
way dangerous.
Care and cleaning
Periodic cleaning of your new fan is recommended particularly the blades. The plated or
painted surfaces of your fan have been sealed with a lacquer to minimize any
discoloration or tarnishing. Therefore use a soft brush or lint free cloth to avoid
scratching the surface.
The motor has permanently sealed bearings so no lubrication is necessary
Do not use water when cleaning you fan as this could damage the surfaces of the casing
and the blades and may create the possibility of an electric shock.
