This can be checked by measuring the distance from the ceiling to the tip of each blade. Correct any difference by adjusting the blade or blade holder.
Also be sure to check all blade screws and all screws holding the down rod and ball joint are tight.
NOTE: Ceiling fans tend to move during operation due to the fact that they are mounted on a rubber grommet. If the fan was mounted rigidly to the ceiling it would cause excessive vibration.
Movement of a few centimetres is quite acceptable and does not suggest any problem. NOISE: -
When everything is quiet, especially at night, you may hear occasional small noises. Slight power fluctuations and frequency signals superimposed in the electricity supply by your energy provider for the switching of off peak hot water and street lights may cause a change in the fan motor noise.
NOTE: Electronic speed controllers could damage this fan and also cause it to be noisy. The use of electronic speed controllers or any speed controller other than the controller included in the box will void the warranty.
