3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing against each other or the interior wall of theswitch housing. CAUTION:
Make sure main power is off.
4. Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noise associated with a new fan disappear during this time.
5. If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight.Make sure the light bulbs are not
touching any other component.

Fan wobble.
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. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement.
Repeat for each blade. The distance deviation should be equal within 1/8".
3. Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the blade wobble is still 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.
