Step 1
Attach
blades to the blade arms
using three screws and rubber washers as
shown in Figure 12. Start a screw into the
arm, do not tighten. Repeat for the 2
remaining screws and washers.
Step 2
Tighten each screw securely
starting with the center screw. Make sure
the blade is straight.
the
Step 3
Fasten the blade arms to the motor
by inserting the tab from the blade arms to
the slot in the bottom motor housing, then
tighten the two screws and washers already
installed in the blade arms (Figure 13).
Step 4
Install an optional light kit if you
wish. Follow the instructions included
with the kit.
All blades are grouped by weight. Because
natural woods very in density, the fan may
wobble even though the blades are weighed
equally.
The following procedure should correct most fan
wobbling problems. Check after each step.
1. Check that all blade and blade arm screws are
secure.
2. Most fan wobbling 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 this distance as
shown in Figure 14. Rotate the fan until the next
blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for
each blade. The distance
should be
equal within 1/8".
deviation
3. Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the
blade wobble is still noticeable.
4. If the blade wobble is still noticeable,
interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades
can redistribute the weight and possibly result in
smoother operation.
