Blade Balancing
Figure 11
Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
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 from a point on the center of each blade to the point
on the ceiling. Measure this distance as shown in Figure 11. Rotate the fan
until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade.
Measurements deviation should be within 1/8˝. Run the fan for 10
Minutes.
Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the blade wobble is still
noticeable.

Operating Your Fan
Warm weather - (Counter Clockwise Direction)
A downward air flow creates a cooling effect as
shown in Figure 12. This allows you to set your air
conditioner on a higher setting without affecting
your comfort.
Cool weather - (Clockwise Direction) An upward
air flow moves warm air off the ceiling are as
shown in Figure 13. This allows you to set your
heating unit on a lower setting without affecting
your comfort.
Turn on the power and check the operation of the
fan. The pull chain controls the fan speed as
follows:
1 pull - High
2 pulls - Medium
3 pulls - Low
4 pulls - Off.
Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend
on factors such as the room size, ceiling height,
number of fans, and so on.
The slide switch controls directions: forward
(switch down) or reverse (switch up).
NOTE
WAIT FOR FAN TO STOP BEFORE REVERSING
THE DIRECTION OF THE BLADE ROTATION.
