Step 7: Fan Blade Assembly, Installa-
tion and Balancing
A. Attach wood blades to blade brackets using (3) screws
for each blade. See Figure 9. If your blades have large
holes you must first insert the rubber grommets into
the holes. See Figure 10.
Note: Grommets are usually assembled by hand. If you
use a tool make certain you do not damage the grommet
or blade when inserting the grommets.
Next, assemble the blade to the blade bracket. Make
sure all screws are tight to prevent vibration or wob-
bling. A cavity in the styrofoam packaging has been
provided to nest the parts in during assembly to as-
sure correct alignment of parts. Even when the screws
are tight the blades may seem to be loose. This is nor-
mal when using grommets and will not be a problem.

B. Remove the screws from the motor hub. Insert one of
these screws in hole in blade bracket. Use a screw-
driver to hold in place. Align blade holes with mounting
holes in hub, by turning screw and readjusting blade
bracket until screw mates with threaded hole in hub.
Do not tighten until both screws have been put in blade
bracket. Repeat for all blades. See Figure 11.
C. A blade balancing kit has been provided with your fan.
Should the fan wobble in operation, you may use this
kit to correct the balance per the instructions supplied
with the kit.
Step 8: Attaching The Upper Switch
Housing
A. Partially install two #6-32 x 3/8" housing assembly
screws into the switch housing mounting plate as shown
in Figure 12.
B. Feed the upper plug connector through the center open-
ing of the upper switch housing. See Figure 12.

C. Align the keyhole slots in the upper switch housing with
the housing assembly screws installed in sub-step A.
D. Turn the upper switch housing counterclockwise until
the housing assembly screws are firmly situated in the
narrow end of the keyhole slots as shown in Figure 13.
Install the one remaining #6-32 x 3/8" housing assem-
bly screw into the third hole in the upper switch hous-
ing. Tighten all three screws firmly.
Caution: Make sure the upper switch housing is se-
curely attached to the switch housing mounting plate.
Failure to properly attach and tighten all three hous-
ing assembly screws could result in the switch hous-
ing and light fixture falling.
