BLADE BALANCING KIT
J
Your ceiling fan may have blade swing problems when in operation due to irregularities in
the blades or brackets. Also, incorrect system mounting or crooked bearings could cause
additional problems. The following procedure is recommended to remedy these problems:
1. Make sure the blades are rmly screwed to their brackets.
2. Make sure all blades are rmly secured to the center swivel casing and check the inclina-
tion of the blade mounts, they should all be the same.
3. Standing under the fan and looking up, check that none of the blade supports are bent so
that none of the blades are misplaced. You can correct the position of the blade holders by
gently bending them to the correct position.
4. You can check the height of the blades with a simple school ruler. Place the ruler against
the ceiling vertically and level with the outside of the blade tip. Check the distance from the
blade tip to the ceiling, carefully rotate the blades by hand and check the rest of the blades.
If the blades are not aligned, you can carefully bend the blade holder up or down slightly to
align with each other.
If the balance problem is not solved even by following the steps above, you must perform a
dynamic balance using the kit provided. Follow the procedure below:
1. Turn on the fan and set the speed at which the greatest sway is created (usually occurs at
the highest speed).
2. Turn off the fan. Select a blade and place the balancing clip, midway between the bracket
and the tip, on the rear edge of the blade.
3. Turn on the fan. Wait to see if the sway has improved or worsened. Turn the fan off again
and attach the clip to another blade to retest. Repeat this process with all the blades and
check which one has improved the most.
4. Place the clip on the blade that has improved the most. Move it in or out of the blade and
run the fan to nd the best position where the clip offers the greatest roll improvement.
5. Then remove the clip and install a balancing weight on top of the blade on the center line
near the point where the clip was placed. Use a knife or blade if necessary to separate the
weights.
Watch out: Stand at a safe distance from the blades. If the clip has not been properly se-
cured, for any reason, you could be injured.
