NOTE: Remove any rubber supports that are installed for
shipping.
CAUTION: Remove the six rubber packing mounts from the fan
motor assembly and discard prior to attaching the blades.
Fasten blade to motor with provided blade mounting screws
and blade support plates. Repeat procedure for remaining
blades. Make sure screws are TIGHT! Loose motor screws can
contribute to unnecessary hum during operation.
NOTE:
Cordless power screwdrivers are NOT recommended,
as they usually strip the heads of the screws and
usually will not fully compress the lock washers on
the motor screws. Use a large flat blade screwdriver
for final tightening to fully compress the washers. This
will help ensure proper alignment of the blades and
noise-free, wobble-free running.
NOTE: Be sure the power is off before installing.
Remove one of the three screws on the mounting hub
1
located on the fan motor. Loosen the other 2 screws. (Do
not remove) (Fig. 1)
Pass the light wires through the center hole of the adapter

plate A.
Place the key holes on the adapter plate A over the 2
3
screws previously loosened, turn the adapter plate until it
locks in place at the narrow section of the key holes.
Secure by tightening the 2 screws previously loosened
and the one previously removed.
