How to Put Your Ceiling Fan Together

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. Unscrew the setscrew (Figure 2) until it clears the
inside of the motor coupling. Then separate,
untwist and unkink the three 80" motor leads.
Route the motor lead wires through the downrod.
Align the clevis pin holes in the downrod with the
holes in the motor coupling. Install the clevis pin
and secure with the hairpin clip (Figure 2). The
clevis pin must go through the holes in the motor
coupling and the holes in the downrod. 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 motor coupling
is properly installed and the setscrew securely tight-
ened. Failure to verify that the pin and setscrew are
properly installed (as shown in Figure 2) could result
in the fan falling.

5. Reinstall the hanger ball (Figure 3) on the downrod as
follows. Route the three 80" motor leads 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 and
securely tighten the setscrew in the hanger ball.
A loose setscrew could create fan wobble.
It is critical that the pin in the hanger ball is properly
installed and the setscrew securely tightened.
Failure to verify that the pin and setscrew are proper-
ly installed could result in the fan falling.
6. The fan comes with blue, black and white leads
that are 80-inches long. Before installing the fan,
measure up approximately 6 to 9-inches above top
of hanger ball/downrod assembly. Cut off excess
leads and strip back insulation 1/2-inch from end of
leads.
7. Mount blade flanges to fan blades using three
3/16-24 x 5/16" slotted Phillips head screws and
three blade washers (Figure 4).
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the
blade flange when installing the blade flanges,
balancing the blades or cleaning the fan. Do not
insert foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.
