Perma•Lock™ Hardware (not to scale)
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.
Step 4b. using the provided allen wrench (attached to the
paper motor warning shield), loosen the allen set screw
attached to the motor coupling.
Step 4c. Route the wires through the Perma•lock
downrod and ball assembly. insert the downrod into the
motor coupling and turn it clockwise until it stops turning,
ensuring that the pole has bottomed out.
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 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.
