Balancing Kit

The balancing kit contains 2 weights at 5 grams each as well as a blade clip with 5 grams

weight. If your ceiling fan is running after accurate and complete installation unbalanced

(“wobbling”), please follow step 1 to 6:

1. Switch your ceiling fan on and ﬁnd out the speed setting at which the wobble is the great-

est.

2. Turn off your ceiling fan and allow it to come to a complete stop. Select one blade and

place the balance clip on it, halfway between the bladeholder and the blade tip on the

trailing edge of the blade.

3. Turn the fan on and select the speed setting at which the wobble was greatest. Note

whether the wobble has increased or decreased. Turn the fan off, move the clip to the next

blade and retest. Repeat this procedure on all blades noting the blades on which the great-

est improvement is achieved.

4. Move the clip back to the blade that showed the greatest improvement. Move the clip

inward and outward on this blade and operate the fan to ﬁnd the position where the clip

gives the greatest improvement.

5. Remove the clip and glue the balancing weight on top of the blade along the centerline at

the point where the clip was positioned.

6. If the fan wobble problem has not been corrected ﬁnally you can improve the balancing

further by repeat the procedure with additional weights. The weight can be easily devided

in two parts with a cutter.

Where does “wobbling” come from?

The blade of a ceiling fan could run at the blade tip with a speed of up to 10 m/sec. If the

density or the compound varies, an imbalance towards the weightly blade occurs.

Especially wooden blades which are made from a natural material often have different densi-

ties, resulting in an imbalance.

All blades of CasaFan ceiling fans are weighted by a accurate scale and ordered by weight. A

set of blades contents always 5 blades of the same weight. The atmospheric humidity changes

the density of the wood. By this reason the edge and the surface of CasaFan blades are sealed

against normal atmospheric humidity. For damp or wet locations we recommend acrylic blades

which are non-sensitive against humidity and water.

Please consider that a fall of the packing from a low height could cause a transformation

of the compound. Hence a small imbalance up to 5 mm (measured at the switch cup of the

ceiling fan) is no quality defect. It can be eliminated as aforementioned with the balancing

kit.
