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 hanger bracket must always be tight against the ceiling so that no
movement can occur.
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 onto motor
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
Ensure that periodic checks of the fixings takes place. (see Safety Precaution 9)
Periodic cleaning of your new Fantasia 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 a electric shock.
