Attaching the Fan 
Blades

Step 1 

Attach blades to blade arms using 

three screws and rubber washers as shown 
in Figure 12.  Start a screw into the arm, do 
not tighten.  Repeat for the 2 remaining 
screws and washers.

Step 2 

Tighten each screw securely starting 

with the center screw.  Make sure the blade 
is straight.

Step 3

 Fasten the blade arms to the motor 

by inserting the tab from the blade arms to 
the slot in the bottom motor housing, then 
tighten the two screws and washers already 
installed in the blade arms (Figure 13).

Step 4 

Install an optional light kit if you 

wish. Follow the instructions included with 
the kit.

All blades are grouped by weight.  
Because natural woods very in density, 
the fan may wobble even though the 
blades are weighed  equally.

The following procedure should correct 
most fan wobbling problems. Check after 
each step.

1. Check that all blade and blade bracket 
screws are secure.

2. Most fan wobbling 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 14. Rotate the fan until the 
n e x t   b l a d e   i s   p o s i t i o n e d   f o r  
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.
