MOTOR WIRES
Prepare for fan installation as follows:
Step A. Route the wires from the motor through the Perma•Lock™ downrod and ball assembly, keeping the wires to one side of the cross pin.
NOTE: The downrod has a tapered thread that is designed to lock completely when correctly installed.
Step B. Thread the downrod into the motor coupling until it stops turning, this will take at least four and a half full turns. Step C. Securely tighten the locking bolt to ensure safe op- eration of your fan.
CAUTION: Failure to fully lock in the down- rod before securely tightening the locking bolt may cause the fan to fall during nor- mal operation!

GETTING STARTED
Installing a New Ceiling Fixture Outlet Box
If you do not have an existing fixture located where you wish to place your Casablanca fan, an approved ceiling fixture outlet box must be installed and wired.
Warning: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked acceptable for ceiling fan support using the mount- ing hardware provided with the outlet box.
Using Existing Ceiling Fixture Outlet Box
After turning the power OFF at its source (either circuit breaker or fuse box), lower the old fixture and disconnect the wiring. Check the ceiling fixture outlet box to be sure that it is marked ‘Approved for ceiling fan mounting’. If it is not, a new box must be installed.
