PREFACE

Your ceiling fan may sometimes have wobbling problems when operating due to irregularity in the

blades or the blade holders. Also, improper assembly in the mounting system or crooked bearings

may cause some additional problems. This balancing kit can be used to fix wobbling problems.

DYNAMIC BLADE BALANCING KIT FOR CEILING FANS

1. Make certain 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 be certain that none of the blade holders are bent

and that none of the blades are out of position. A correction can be made by very gently bending

the blade holder back into position.

4. Use a yardstick to check the blade tracking. Put the yardstick up against the ceiling vertically and

against the outside leading edge of a blade. Note the distance of the edge of blade to the ceiling.

Carefully turn the blades slowly by hand to check the remaining blades. If the blade is not in

alignment, the blade holder may be 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 the fan on and adjust the speed control (usually high speed) setting to the speed which

creates the greatest wobble.

Turn the fan off. Select one blade and place the balance clip on it, halfway between the blade

holder and the blade tip on the rear edge of the blade.

Turn the fan on. Watch to see if the wobble is improved or worsened. Turn the fan off 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 clip gives the most

improvement.

Next remove the clip and install a balancing weight to the top of the blade along the centerline

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 .
