Blade balancing
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.
WARNING
Touching
ceiling
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY,
DO NOT BEND THE BLADE HOLDERS
WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING THE
BLADES, OR CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT
INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN
ROTATING FAN BLADES.
Figure 19
Check that all blade and blade arm screws are
secure.
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 Fig. 19. Rotate the fan until the next
blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat
for each blade. The distance deviation should
be equal within 1/8".
Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the
blade wobble is still noticeable.
If the blade wobble is still noticeable,
interchanging two adjacent (side by side)
blades can redistribute the weight and
possibly result in smoother operation.
