Balancing
PREFACE
Sometimes, your ceiling fan have
wobbling problems when operating
due to irregularity in the blades of
the blade holders Also, improper
assembly in the mounting system
or crooked bearing may cause
some additional problems. This
balancing kit can be used to fix
wobbling problems.
DYNAMIC BLADE BALANCING KIT FOR CEILING FANS
DYNAMIC BLADE BALANCING KIT
1. Make sure that all blades are firmly screwed into the blade holder.
2. Make sure that all blade holders are firmly secured to the motor housing and check
that the pitch of blade holders are all the same.
3. By looking up at the fan from below, check and confirm that none of the blade holders
are bent and that none of the blades are out of position. A correction can be made by
Bending the blade holder back into position gently.
4. Use a measuring tape to check the blade tracking. Put the yard stick up against the
ceiling vertically and against the outside leading edge of a blade. Note the distance of
the ceiling. Turn the blades slowly and carefully by hand to check the remaining
blades. If the blades not in alignment, the blade holder maybe gently bent up or down
to be in line with the other blades.
After following all the steps and if the wobbling problem is not solved, a dynamic
balancing needs to be done by balancing kit. Follow the procedure listed below:
Turn on the fan and adjust the speed control (usually high speed) setting to the
speed which creates the greatest wobble.
Turn off the fan, select one blade and place the balance clip on it, half way between
the blade holder and the blade tip on the rear edge of a blade. Note the distance of
the edge of blades to the
Turn on the fan. Watch to see if the wobble is improved or worsened. Turn off the fan
again and move the clip to another blade and test again. Repeat this process with
all blades and then note the blade which is the most improved.
Move the clip back to the blade which showed the most improvement. Move the clip
inward and outward on this blade and operate the fan to find the position where the cilp
gives the the most improvement.
Next remove the clip and install a balancing weight to the top of the blade along the
center line near the point where the clip was positioned. Use a sharp knife or razor to
separate the weights.
Caution: Stay clear of the blades. If the clip for any reason is not secure, injury could
result.
