King of Fans Sauterne - Manual (Page 10)

Attaching the Fan
Blades
Note: The blade side which labeled with
"This Side Up" must be toward the
ceiling after it is installed.
1. Attach blade to blade medallion,
using the washer head screws supplied
(Figure 10). Please note that the rubber
washers are pre-attached to the blade
medallion. Start a screw into the
medallion. Repeat for the two remaining
screws.
Figure 10
2. Tighten each screw securely.
3. Insert the blade assembly through
the slot cut-out in the center flywheel,
align the three screw holes in the blade
medallion with the screw holes in the
blade bracket pre-installed in the
flywheel and secure with screws and
lockwashers provided (Figure 11).
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.
