One Phillips round head flange screw 3 LOOSE PARTS BAG FAN MOTOR ASSEMBLY GLASS SHADES (3 or 4) HANGER BRACKET HANGER BALL/ DOWNROD ASSEMBLY SWITCH HOUSING COVER FAN BLADES CEILING COVER BLADE FLANGES IMPORTANT Your ceiling fan is designed to be installed either in the standard manner, or in the close-to-the-ceiling manner. Using the standard method, the hanger ball/downrod assembly will suspend the fan several inches below the ceiling cover. Using the close-to-the-ceiling method, the ceiling cover installs directly on the fan motor housing, thus mounting the fan 3-1/2 inches closer to the ceiling than the standard method. In no case should the fan blades be lower than seven feet above the floor. Depending on your desired mounting method, proceed to "INSTALLING HANGER BALL/DOWNROD ASSEMBLY" for standard mounting, or to "INSTALLING CEILING COVER ON FAN MOTOR HOUSING" for close-to-the-ceiling mounting. DECORATIVE CAP HAIRPIN CLIP HANGER BALL/DOWNROD ASSEMBLY CEILING COVER SETSCREW CLEVIS PIN MOTOR COUPLING SETSCREW Figure 1 Installing The Hanger Ball/Downrod Assembly (For Standard Mounting) 1. Pass the 56" motor leads through the opening in the ceiling cover. Be sure the cover is oriented correctly. 2. Separate, untwist and unkink the three motor leads. Route the motor leads through the hanger ball/downrod assembly. 3. Loosen the two setscrews in the motor coupling. Align the clevis pin holes in the downrod with the holes in the motor coupling. Install the clevis pin and secure with the hairpin clip (Figure 1). The clevis pin must go through the holes in the motor coupling and the holes in the downrod. Be sure to push the straight leg of the hairpin clip through the hole near the end of the clevis pin until the curved portion of the hairpin clip snaps around the clevis pin. The hairpin clip must be properly installed to prevent the clevis pin from working loose. Pull on the hanger ball to make sure the clevis pin is properly installed. ! Installing The Ceiling Cover On The Fan Motor Housing (For Close-to-the-Ceiling Mounting) 1. Remove and retain three screws from the top of the motor housing (Figure 2A). 2. Position the rubber gasket (supplied in parts bag) on the motor housing (small holes in gasket centered over the screw holes in the housing) (Figure 2B). REMOVE SCREWS (3) INSTALL GASKET Figure 2A Figure 2B WARNING It is critical that the clevis pin in the motor coupling is properly installed and the setscrews securely tightened. Failure to verify that the pin and setscrews are properly installed could result in the fan falling. 3. Gently pry the decorative cap (Figure 1) from the ceiling cover. Align the holes in the ceiling cover with the holes in the motor housing and secure using the three screws (Figure 3). 4. While pulling up on the hanger ball, securely tighten the two setscrews in the motor coupling (Figure 1). NOTE: The setscrews must be properly installed as described above, or fan wobble could result. 5.The fan comes with blue, black and white leads that are 56" long. Measure up approximately 6 to 9-inches above top of hanger ball/downrod assembly. Cut off excess leads and strip back insulation 1/2-inch from end of leads. 4 RUBBER GASKET SCREW (3) Figure 3 4.
