1. The fan’s natural movements may cause some connections to work loose. A clicking or rattling noise is a certain sign
of loosening screws. Check the support connections, brackets and blade attachments twice a year, and tighten all
screws as necessary.
2. Clean your fan periodically. Use only a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution. Never use solvents. Dust with a
soft cloth or brush. Metal finishes are finished with a lacquer to prevent tarnishing.
3. You will never need to oil your fan. Its permanently sealed bearings will provide silent, trouble free operation for many
years.
4. Make sure the power is turned off at the main fuse or circuit panel before you attempt any repairs.
MAINTENANCE
Your ceiling fan may sometimes have wobbling problems when operating due to irregularity in the blades or the blade
holders. Also, improper assembly in the mounting system or crooked bearings may cause some additional problems. This
balancing kit can be used to fix wobbling problems.
DYNAMIC BLADE BALANCING KITFOR CEILING FANS
1. Make certain that all blades are firmly screwed into the blade holder.
2. Make sure that all blade holders are firmly secured tothe motor housingand check that the pitch of blade holders are
all the same.
3. By looking up at the fan from below, check and be certain that none of the blade holders are bent and that none of the
blades are out of position. A correction can be made by very gently bending the blade holder back intoposition.
4. <Use a yardstick to check the blade tracking. Put the yardstick up against the ceiling vertically and against the outsi-
deleading edge of a blade. Note thedistance of the edge of blade to the ceiling. Carefully turn the blades slowly by hand to
check the remaining blades. If the blade is not in alignment, theblade holder may be gently bent up or down to be in line
withtheother blades.
After followingallthestepsandifthewobblingproblemisnotsolved, a dynamic balancing needs to be done by balancing kit.
Follow the procedure listed below:
- Turn the fan on and adjust the speed control (usually high speed) setting to the speed which creates the greatest wobble.
- Turn the fan off. Select one blade and place the balance clip on it, halfway between theblade holder and the blade tip on
the rear edge of the blade.
- Turn the fan on. Watch to see if the wobble is improved or worsened. Turn the fan off again and move the clip to another
blade and test again. Repeat this process with all blades and then note the blade which is the most improved.
- Move the clip back to the blade which showed themost improvement. Move the clip inward and outward on this blade and
operate the fan to find the position where the clip gives the most improvement.
- Next remove the clip and install a balancing weight to the top of the blade along the center line near the point where the
clip was positioned. Use a sharp knife or razor to separatetheweights.
CAUTION: Stay clear of the blades. If the clip, for any reason, is not secure, injury couldresult
