Fan spacers

bulicek · #1 May 21, 2008, 07:33 PM

I just bought a Harbor Breeze ceiling fan. Instructions for installation are straight up, but I ran into a problem. The instructed me to install the blades after the motor was wired and installed. So far so good, but there are three biscuits that go between the fan blades and the motor, and where the biscuits are, the screws won't thread. What can I do to fix this?

Well you have to rotate the blades so that they line up with a threaded hole AND the spacer/gasket. You have to play with it but once you get the first one in, it goes fast.

If you will notice you have more holes than you need. Just rotate the blade mount till it lines up.

Don't I feel stupid!! I thought he was referring to the gasket thingies that go between the blade mount and the motor
