Fan Preparation - continued
Step 4c. Slide both the hanging adapter cover and canopy cover ring on to the pole, then route the wires through the 3.5" Perma•Lock downrod and ball assembly as shown in Figures #4. Insert the downrod into the motor coupling and turn it clockwise until it stops turning, ensuring that the pole has bottomed out.
Tip: The downrod has a tapered thread that is designed to lock completely when installed correctly.
Step 4d. Tighten the set screw with the Allen wrench as shown in Figure #5 to ensure safe operation of your fan. If it is tight enough, you should not be able to turn the downrod counterclockwise with your hands. If in doubt, tighten the set screw with the Allen wrench until you cannot turn it any further.
CAUTION: Failure to fully lock in the downrod before securely tightening the Allen set screw may cause the fan to separate from the downrod and fall during normal operation.
