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 though all blades are weighted and grouped by weight, it is impossible to eliminate wobble altogether. This should not be
considered a fault. Ceiling fans tend to move during operation due to the fact that they are not generally rigidly mounted.
You may do the following action 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 over tightened or loose, which can cause the blade to droop.
•
An out of shape blade can cause wobbling. Check by removing the blade and lay in 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 19. 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 same as 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 / warped or the blade screws
are not evenly tightened or are loose.

Balancing Kit:
1.
A Balancing Kit is provided to balance the ceiling fan on initial installation. Please refer to the instruction on how to use the
Balancing Kit, that is included.
2.
The balancing kit can be used to assist re-balancing if the ceiling fan becomes un-balanced overtime. Do not discard the
balancing kit. Retain for possible future use.
