Assembling And Hanging The Ceiling Fan - Emerson CF960BS Owner's Manual

Assembling and Hanging
the Ceiling Fan
1. Remove the fan motor assembly from the protec-
tive plastic bag and then carefully remove the foam
shipping material from between the fan motor and
the upper housing (Figure 1).

2. Place the fan motor assembly in the lower styro-
foam pad with the top of the motor facing up. The
lower styrofoam pad serves as a holder for the fan
motor assembly during the first stages of assembly.
3. Remove the hanger ball by loosening the setscrew
in the hanger ball until the ball falls freely down the
downrod (Figure 2). Remove the pin from the
downrod, then remove the hanger ball. Retain the
pin and hanger ball for reinstallation in step 6.

4. Separate, untwist and unkink the three 80" motor
leads. Route the motor lead wires through the
downrod. Remove the upper setscrew from the
motor coupling. 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 3). 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. Reinstall the
upper setscrew in the motor coupling (Figure 3).
Check that the two lower setscrews are tightened
securely.
NOTE: The setscrews must be properly installed
as described above, or fan wobble could result.
It is critical that the clevis pin in the motor coupling
is properly installed and the setscrews securely
tightened. Failure to verify that the pin and setscrews
are properly installed could result in the fan falling.

5. Make sure the grommet is properly installed in the
coupling cover, then slide the coupling cover on

6. Reinstall the hanger ball (Figure 5) 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
properly installed could result in the fan falling.
