5.Most fan wobble problems are caused when blade lev els are unequal. Check this lev el by select-
ing a point on the ceiling abo ve the tip of one of the blades. Measure this distance from blade tip
to ceilng. Keeping measure within 1/8", rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for meas -
urement. Repeat for each blade. If all blade lev els are not equal, you can adjust blade levels by
the following procedure. To adjust a blade tip down, insert a w asher (not supplied) between the
blade and blade holder at the screw closest to the motor . To adjust a blade tip up , insert washer
(not supplied) between the blade and blade holder at the two screws farthest from the motor .
Reverse the position of the w asher if blades mount from top of blade.

ute the weight and possibly result in smoother oper ation.
1.Check wire from fan to mak e sure it is connected to hot wire from house.
2.Check for loose or disconnected wires in fan switch housing.
