Blade Balancing

Check that all blade and blade bracket screws 
are secure.

Most fan wobble problems are caused when 
blade levels are unequal. Check this level by 
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 16. 
Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned 
for measurement. Repeat for each blade. 
Measurements deviation should be within 1/8˝. 
Run the fan for 10 Minutes.

Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the 
blade wobble is still noticeable.
