How to Put Your Ceiling Fan Together
1.Remove the fan motor and housing assembly from the styrofoam packaging and position it so that the top of the motor is facing you.
2.Remove the hanger ball from the downrod by loosening the setscrew in the hanger ball until the ball falls freely down the downrod (Figure 1). Remove the pin from the downrod, then remove the hanger ball. Retain the pin and hanger ball for reinstallation in step 8.

4.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 2). (Pin and clip are supplied in loose parts bag.) The clevis pin must go through the holes in the motor coupling and the holes in the downrod. 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 the hanger ball to make sure the clevis pin is properly installed.
!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 (as shown in Figure 2) could result in the fan falling.
5.Install the setscrew (supplied) in the motor coupling (Figure 2). While pulling up on the downrod, tighten the setscrew using the setscrew wrench (supplied).
NOTE: The setscrews must be properly installed as described above, or fan wobble could result.
6.Screw two 1” threaded studs (supplied) into the motor (Figure 3). Leave approximately 7/8” of the stud extending above the motor. Coil the wires and wire connectors around the motor coupling then slide the motor cover over the downrod and rotate the cover until the threaded studs protrude. Install two lockwashers(supplied) to secure the cover to the motor. All wires and wire connectors must be enclosed under the motor cover.

NOTE: Lightly snug the knurled knob and make sure the wires and wire connectors are completely inside the motor coupling cover and not pinched between the motor coupling cover and the motor.
7.Position the ceiling cover over the downrod. Be sure the cover is oriented correctly, with the large opening at the top (Figure 4).
