Please note that all ceiling fans are not the same, even in the same model
—some may move more or less than
others. Movement of a couple of centimetres is quite acceptable and does not suggest the fan will fall down.
Even when all blades are weighted and grouped by weight, it is impossible to eliminate wobble altogether and
should not be considered a problem. Ceiling fan tend to move during operation due to the fact that they are not
generally rigidly mounted
You may do the following actions to reduce the wobbling
1) Check all the blade mounting screws are tightened and securely.
2) Wobbling problems may result from inconsistent blade level. To check blade level, measure the distance
from each blade tip to the ceiling.
Note: If measurements are inconsistent:
-
check blade mount screws are not too tight or loose as this can cause the blade tip to be unlevelled;
-
An out of shape blade can cause wobbling. Check by removing the blade and lay it on a flat surface. A good
flat blade will lay flat on the surface.
3) Blade tracking may be checked simply by use of a household ruler as shown in below Figure. Place the
ruler vertically against the ceiling and even with the outside leading edge of a blade. Note the distance of the
edge of a blade is the same as the others. Turn the blade slowly by hand to check the remaining blades. If a
blade is not in alignment, the blade is either out of shape / warp or the blade screws are not evenly tighten
or either loose.

BALANCING KIT
Balancing kit is provided to balance the ceiling fan on initial installation. Please refer to the instruction on how to
use the balancing kit.
The balancing kit can be used to assist re-balancing should the ceiling fan becomes un-balanced again, so store
your balancing kit away after first use.
