Flip The Blades On A Harbor Breeze

Harbor Breeze is the house line of ceiling fans for Lowe's. Harbor Breeze manufactures a wide variety of ceiling fans with options including light kits and reversible blades. The reversible blades have different colors on each side or different wood designs. One way to change the appearance of a room is to simply flip the blades on a Harbor breeze fan. All fans, including the Harbor Breeze, attach reversible blades to blade brackets that spin with the motor.

Instructions

1. Turn off the Harbor Breeze ceiling fan and allow the blades to come to a complete stop. Position a step stool under the fan so you can reach the fan blades.

2. Remove the two screws securing the fan blade to the mounting bracket with a Phillips-head screwdriver. Remove the blade and repeat the process for the remaining blades.

3. Wash the blades in warm, soapy water and rinse them thoroughly. Rinse the threaded holes on both sides of the blade and dry them. The holes are where the mounting screws thread into the blade. Dust and grime build up on the upper part of the blades. Dry each blade with a towel.

4. Flip the blade so that the color or finish that you want facing you is pointing down. Line up the mounting holes on the blade with the mounting holes on the blade bracket.

5. Install the securing screws through the bottom of the blade bracket and into the blade. Repeat for the remaining blades, ensuring that the same side of the blade is pointing down on all blades.
