All blades are grouped by weight. Because
natural woods very 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 this distance as shown in figure
13. Rotate the fan until the next blade is
Positioned for measurement. Repeat for
each blade. The distance should be equal
within 1/8".
3. Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if
the blade wobble is still noticeable.
4. If the blade wobble is still noticeable,
interchanging two adjacent (side by side)
blades can redistribute the weight and
possibly result in smoother operation.
