King of Fans Valparaiso - Manual (Page 6)

Hanging the Fan
REMEMBER to turn off the power.
Follow the steps below to hang your fan
properly.
NOTE: This ceiling fan is supplied with
two types of hanging assemblies; the
standard ceiling installation using the
downrod with ball and socket mounting,
and the "close-to-ceiling" mounting. The
"close-to-ceiling" mounting is
recommended in rooms with less than
8-foot ceilings or in areas where
additional space is desired from the floor
to the fan blades. When using standard
downrod installation, the distance from
the ceiling to the bottom of the fan blades
will be approximately 12 inches. The
"close-to-ceiling" installation reduces the
distance from the ceiling to the bottom of
the fan blade to approximately 7 inches.
Once you have decided which ceiling
installation you will use, proceed with the
following instructions. Where necessary,
each section of the instructions will note
the different procedures to follow for the
two types of installation.
STANDARD CEILING MOUNTING
1. Remove the canopy ring from the
canopy by turning the ring to the right
until it unlocks (Figure 5).
2. Remove the mounting plate from the
canopy by loosening the four screws on
the top of the canopy. Remove the two
non-slotted screws and loosen the slotted
screws. This will enable you to remove
the mounting plate (Figure 6).

3. Route the wires exiting the top of the
fan motor through the decorative motor
collar cover then the canopy ring. Make
sure the slot openings are on top. Route
the wires through the canopy and then
through the ball/downrod assembly
(Figure 7).
4. Loosen, but do not remove, the set
screws on the collar on the top of the
motor housing.
5. Align the holes at the bottom of the
downrod with holes in the collar on top of
the motor housing (Figure 7). Carefully
insert the hanger pin through the holes in
the collar and downrod. Be careful not to
jam the pin against the wiring inside the
downrod. Insert the locking pin through
the hole near the end of the hanger pin
until it snaps into its locked position.
