Assembling and Hanging
the Ceiling Fan
1. Remove the fan motor assembly from the protec- tive plastic bag and then carefully remove the foam shipping material from between the fan motor and the upper housing (Figure 1).

2.Place the fan motor assembly in the lower styro- foam pad with the top of the motor facing up. The lower styrofoam pad serves as a holder for the fan motor assembly during the first stages of assembly.
3.Remove the hanger ball by loosening the setscrew in the hanger ball until the ball falls freely down the downrod (Figure 2). Remove the pin from the downrod, then remove the hanger ball. Retain the pin and hanger ball for reinstallation in step 6.

4.Separate, untwist and unkink the three 80” motor leads. Route the motor lead wires through the downrod. Remove the upper setscrew from 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 3). 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 downrod to make sure the clevis pin is properly installed. Reinstall the upper setscrew in the motor coupling (Figure 3). Check that the two lower setscrews are tightened securely.
NOTE: The setscrews must be properly installed |

as described above, or fan wobble could result. | 4 |
!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.

6.Reinstall the hanger ball (Figure 5) on the downrod as follows. Route the three 80” motor leads through the hanger ball. Position the pin through the two holes in the downrod and align the hanger ball so the pin is captured in the groove in the top of the hanger ball. Pull the hanger ball up tight against the pin and securely tighten the setscrew in the hanger ball. A loose setscrew could create fan wobble.
!WARNING
It is critical that the pin in the hanger ball is properly installed and the setscrew securely tightened. Failure to verify that the pin and setscrew are properly installed could result in the fan falling.
