Step 9: Aligning the Fixture Fitter

A.

Assemble the fixture fitter to the fitter mounting plate by

inserting the upper plug connector through the hole in the center

of the fitter and securing the fitter to the mounting plate using (3)

3/8” long phillips round head screws with lockwashers. Tighten

the (3) screws securely. See Figure 9.
CAUTION: Failure to securely tighten the (3) assembly screws

could result in the light kit falling.

B.

Attach the light fixture to the fitter using (2) screws. Plug the

upper and lower plug connectors together. Tighten the (2) screws

securely. See Figure 9A.
CAUTION: Failure to securely tighten the (2) assembly screws

could result in the light fixture falling.

Install the included bulb. Connect the plug connector from the

bulb to the light kit.

Step 8: Fan Blade Assembly,

Installation, and Balancing

A.

Slide wood blade through slot in belly band and line up the (2)

holes in the blade with the rubber grommets in the blade bracket.

Insert rubber grommets into the (2) holes in the blade and as-

semble the blade to the blade bracket using the shoulder screws

provided in sack parts. When properly assembled, the end of the

blade grommets will fit inside the bracket grommet. Tighten the

shoulder screws to prevent vibration and wobble when the fan is

operating. See Figure 8.

NOTE: When the screws are tight the blades may feel loose. This

is normal when using grommets and will not be a problem.

B.

Repeat the step shown above until all the blades are securely

attached.

C.

A blade balancing kit has been provided with your fan. Should

the fan wobble in operation, you may use the kit to correct the

balance per the instructions supplied with the kit.
NOTE: After installing all the blades, check the (10) blade bracket

assembly screws which attach the brackets to the motor. Make

certain they are tight. You can reach the screws by inserting a

screwdriver into the opening in the bottom of the switch housing.

Rotate the blades to access all (10) screws. See Figure 8.
Failure to tighten these screws will result in noise and wobble when

the fan is operating.
