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
greatest 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 den-
sity 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.
