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.
Figure 10
2. Tighten each screw securely.
3. Insert the blade / blade bracket
assembly through the hole in the side of
the center flywheel, align the 2 screw

4. Repeat steps 1, 2, & 3 for the
remaining blades.
Figure 11
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.
