Hanging The Fan; Standard Ceiling Mounting - HAMPTON BAY Wellston Instructions Manual

Hanging the Fan

REMEMBER
to turn
er. Follow the steps below to hang your
fan properly.
NOTE: This ceiling fan is supplied with two
types of hanging assemblies; the standard
ceiling installation using the downrod with
ball and socket mounting, and the "close-to-
ceiling" mounting. The "close-to-ceiling"
mounting is recommended in rooms with
less than 8-foot ceilings or in areas where
additional space is desired from the floor
to the fan blades. When using standard
downrod installation, the distance from the
ceiling to the bottom of the fan blades will be
approximately 12 inches. The "close-to-ceiling"
installation reduces the distance from the
ceiling to the bottom of the fan blades to
approximately 8 inches.
Once you have decided which ceiling
installation you will use, proceed with the
following instructions. Where necessary,
each section of the instructions will note the
different procedures to follow for the two
types of installation.
