Blade Balancing

even though the blades are weight matched.
The following procedure should correct most

fan wobble. Check after each step.

Check that all blade screws are secure.

1.

Most fan wobble problems are caused when

2.

blade levels are unequal. Check this level by

selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip

of one of the blades. Measure from a point

on the center of each blade to the point on

the ceiling. Measure this distance as shown

in Figure 11. Rotate the fan until the next

blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat

for each blade. Measurement deviations

should be within 1/8”. Run the fan for 10

minutes.
Use the enclosed Bladed Balancing Kit if

the blade wobble is still noticeable.

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 BLADES.
