All blades are grouped by weight. Because
natural woods very in density, the fan may
wobble even though the blades are weighed
equally.
The following procedureshould correct most fan
wobbling problems. Checkafter each step.
1. Check that all blade and blade arm screws are
secure.
2. Most fan wobbling 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 this distance as
shown in Figure 14. Rotate the fan until the next
blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for
each blade. The distance should be
equal within 1/8".
deviation
3. Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the
blade wobble isstill noticeable.
4. If the blade wobble is still noticeable,
interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades
can redistribute the weight and possibly result in
smoother operation.

Care of Your Fan 10.
Here are some suggestions to help you maintain
your fan
1.Because of the fan's natural movement, some
connections may become loose. Check the
support connections, brackets, and blade
attachments twice a year. Make sure they are
secure. (It is not necessary to remove fan from
ceiling.)
2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its
new appearance over the years. Use only a soft
brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the
finish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer to
minimize discoloration or tarnishing. Do not use
water when cleaning. This could damage the
motor, or the wood, orpossibly cause an electrical
shock.
3. You can apply a light coat of
furniture polish to the wood blades for
additional protection and enhanced
beauty. Cover small scratches with a
light application ofshoe polish.
4. There is no need to oil your fan.
The motor has permanently lubricated
bearings.
