3 • Assembling and Hanging the Fan
You can assemble your fan for standard mounting (steps 3-1 – 3-2) 
or for low profile mounting (steps 3-3 – 3-4). Note: For low profile 
mounting, the downrod is replaced with the low profile washer. 
3-1. To assemble fan to hang down from a flat or angled ceiling, insert 
the downrod through the canopy and canopy trim ring. Feed the 
wires from the fan through the downrod.
3-2. Loosen the allen head set screw on the adapter using the large
allen wrench. Screw the pipe and ball assembly into the fan 
assembly. Note: When the pipe and ball assembly is fully installed, 
2-3	threads	on	the	pipe	will	still	be	visible;	this	is	normal.	Securely	
retighten the set screw with a wrench or pliers. Skip to Step 3-5.
CAUTION: The adapter has a special coating on the threads. Do
not	remove	this	coating;	the	coating	prevents	the	downrod	from	
unscrewing. Once assembled, do not remove the downrod.
3-3. Place the low profile washer (lip up) into the canopy. Be sure the
green ground wire is pointing up toward the ceiling.
3-4. Align the holes in the washer with the holes in the adapter.
Assemble securely with three #8-32 x 3/4” screws.
3-5. Raise the fan and place the hook on the ceiling plate through the
U-shaped hole in the rim.
WARNING: Fan may fall if not assembled as directed in these
installation instructions.
