Balancing Weight

Plastic Clip

• Tighten screws on the mounting bracket, outlet box, the downrod , fan blades to blade holders,

and blade holders to the motor housing.

• Measure the distance from the tip of each blade to the ceiling. All blades should have the same

vertical distance from the ceiling. Adjust any bent blade holder, by gently pressing up or down on

the brackets, until all blades are at an equal distance from the ceiling.

If wobbling persists, you may need a blade balancing kit to stabilize the ceiling fan. A blade

balancing kit consists of a plastic clip and two balancing weights.

Determining the blade that needs to be balanced is a trial-and-error task.

1. Place a numbered piece of masking tape on each blade so you don't lose track of which blade is

which.

2. One blade at a time, attach the slotted plastic clip over the center of the blade edge and turn the

fan on. Observe which blade has the clip on when the ceiling fan wobbles the least.

3. Place the plastic clip on the edge of the blade, halfway between the blade holder and the blade

tip. Turn fan on and determine improvement.

4. If there is no improvement, turn off the fan again. Slide the clip along the length of the blade to

locate the source of instability.

5. Once you've found the faulty blade, press a balancing weight on the centerline. The weight

should be parallel to the clip.
