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 "flushmount"

installation. The "flushmount" installation 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 the standard 4 1/2" downrod, the

distance from the ceiling to the bottom of the

fan blades will be approximately 12 1/2

inches. The "flushmount" installation reduce

this distance to 8-inches. Once you have

selected which mounting system 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 mounting.

STANDARD CEILING INSTALLATION

1. Remove the canopy ring from the canopy.

(Fig. 5)

2. Remove the hanger bracket 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

hanger bracket. (Fig. 5)

3. Pass the 120-volt supply wires through the

center hole in the ceiling hanger bracket as

shown in Fig. 6.

4. Secure the hanger bracket to the ceiling

outlet box using screws and lock washers

included with your outlet box. (Fig. 6)

5. Remove the hanger pin, lock pin and set

screws from the top of the motor assembly.

6. Route wires exiting from the top of the fan

motor through the canopy ring. Make sure the

widest edge of the canopy ring are on top.

Route the wires through the canopy and then

through the ball/downrod assembly (Fig. 7).

7. Align the holes at the bottom of the downrod

with the holes in the collar on top of the motor

housing (Fig. 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 in locked position, as noted in

the circle inset of Figure 7.

8. Tighten two set screws on top of the fan

motor firmly. (Fig. 7)

9. Place the downrod ball into the hanger

bracket socket. (Fig. 8)
