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.

Blades
Step 1
Attach blades to 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.
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.
