Perma•Lock™ downrod
and Ball assembly
iMPoRtant SaFEty inFoRMation:
Before starting the installation of your
ceiling fan, install the threaded downrod into
the motor coupling and lock the assembly.
Prepare for fan installation as follows:
Step 4a. Remove the paper shield from the motor as
shown in Figure #1.
Step 4b. using the provided Allen wrench (attached to
the paper motor shield), loosen the Allen set screw.
Step 4c. Insert downrod through hanging adapter
cover, then route the wires through the Perma•Lock
downrod and ball assembly as shown in Figure #2.
Insert the downrod into the motor coupling and turn it
clockwise until it stops turning, ensuring that the pole
has bottomed out as shown in Figure #3.
tiP: the downrod has a tapered thread that
is designed to lock completely when installed
correctly.
Step 4d. tighten the set screw with the Allen wrench
as shown in Figure #3 to ensure safe operation of your
fan. If it is tight enough, you should not be able to turn
the downrod counterclockwise with your hands. If in
doubt, tighten the set screw with the Allen wrench
until you cannot turn it any further.
Caution: Failure to fully lock in the
downrod before securely tightening the
allen set screw may cause the fan to
separate from the downrod and fall during
normal operation.
