Fan
Blades
1.Align the three screw holes in the
blade with the three posts on the blade
bracket.
Place the blade over the three posts of
the blade bracket and secure with washer
head screws supplied (Figure 10).
2.
Tighten each screw securely.
3.
Align the two screw holes in the
blade bracket with the screw holes in the
flywheel of the motor assembly and
secure with screws and lockwashers
provided (Figure 11).
4.
Repeat steps 1, 2, & 3 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.
