How to Assemble Your Ceiling Fan

1. Remove the hanger ball by loosening the setscrew
in the hanger ball until the ball falls freely down the
downrod. (Figure 1) Remove the pin from the
downrod, then remove the hanger ball. Retain the pin
and hanger ball for reinstallation in Step 5.
2. The fan comes with blue, black, white 80˝ wires and
safety cable. Separate & untwist the three wires and
safety cable. Route the wires through the downrod.
NOTE: You will be using either the 6˝ downrod
supplied with your fan or an optional downrod
purchased separately.
3. Loosen the two setscrews in the downrod support.
Align the clevis pin holes in the downrod with the
holes in the downrod support. Install the clevis pin and
secure with the hairpin clip. (Figure 3) Be sure to
push the straight leg of the hairpin clip through the
hole near the end of the clevis pin until the curved
portion of the hairpin clip snaps around the clevis pin.
The hairpin clip must be properly installed to prevent
the clevis pin from working loose. Pull on the downrod
to make sure the clevis pin is properly installed.
WARNING
It is critical that the clevis pin in the downrod support
is properly installed and the set screws and nuts are
securely tightened. Failure to do so could result in the
fan falling.
4.
Route wires and cable through motor coupling
cover and canopy on fan shown with open side facing
up. (Figure 3)
5.
Reinstall the hanger ball (Figure 1) on the downrod
as follows. Route the three 80˝ wires and cable
through the hanger ball. Position the pin through the
two holes in the downrod and align the hanger ball so
the pin is captured in the groove in the top of the
hanger ball. Pull the hanger ball up tight against the
pin. Securely tighten the setscrew in the hanger ball.
A loose setscrew could create fan wobble.
6. While pulling up on the hanger ball, securely tighten
the two 3/16-24 x 3/8˝ setscrews in the downrod
support. Slide the motor coupling cover down.
(Figures 2 & 3)
7. The fan comes with blue, black, white leads and
support cable. Before installing fan, measure up
approximately 6-9 inches above top of downrod/
hanger ball assembly. Cut off excess wire and strip
back insulation 1/2˝ from end of wire.
8. All set screws must be checked and retightened
where necessary before installation.
9. You have now completed the upper assembly of
your new ceiling fan. You can now proceed with the
hanging and the electrical wiring of your fan.
