Attaching

the

Fan

Blades

Note: Your fan blades are reversible.
Select the blade side finish which best
accentuates you decor.
1. Attach blade to blade bracket using
the screws supplied (Figure 10). Start a
screw into the bracket. Repeat for the
two remaining screws.

2. Tighten each screw securely.
3. Locate the blade / blade bracket
assembly onto the recess of the center
flywheel of the fan motor assembly
(Figure 11). Make sure the blade bracket
seats properly in the recess .
4. Align the 2 screw holes in the recess
with the screw holes in the blade bracket

and secure with screws and lockwashers
supplied (Figure 11a).
5. Repeat steps 1,2, 3 & 4 for the
remaining blades.

All blades are grouped by weight.
Because natural woods vary in density,
the fan may wobble even though the
blades are weight matched.

The following procedure should correct

most fan wobble. Check after each step.
1.

Check that all blade and blade

bracket screws are secure.
2.

Most fan wobble 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 from a point on the
center of each blade to the point on the
ceiling. Measure this distance as shown
in Figure 12. Rotate the fan until the next
blade is positioned for measurement.
Repeat for each blade. Measurements
deviation should be within 1/8". Run the
fan for 10 minutes.
3.

Use the enclosed Blade Balancing

Kit if the blade wobble is still noticeable.

WARNING

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.
