Step 8: Fan Blade Assembly, Installation, and Balancing

NOTE: Attach each blade with the central line (ridge) facing upward and flat side of blade facing downward. Correct installation is with the ridge upwards towards the ceiling.

A. Attach blades to blade brackets using three screws for each blade. See Figure 8.

FIGURE 8

Next assemble the blade to the blade bracket. Make sure all screws are tight to prevent vibration or wobbling. Do not overtighten as this may cause the screws to strip.

B. Remove the screws and rubber bumpers from the motor hub. Insert a mounting screw (provided) in hole in blade bracket. Use a screwdriver to hold in place. Align blade holes with mounting holes in hub by turning screw and readjusting blade bracket until screw mates with threaded hole in hub. Do not tighten until both screws have been put in blade bracket. Repeat for all blades. See Figure 9.

C. A blade balancing kit has been provided with your fan. Should the fan wobble in operation, you may use this kit to correct the balance per the instructions supplied with the kit.
