1.Securely attach the ceiling support wire to the ceiling joist or structural member using the 3/8 x 2” hex lag bolt and flat washer. Drill a maximum diameter 1/4” pilot hole into the supporting member to prevent splitting or cracking. Install a washer onto the screw and insert the screw through one of the loops (Figure 8). Securely tighten the screw into the structure.
IMPORTANT
Do not use any lubricant when installing the lag bolts.
IMPORTANT
The pilot holes should be drilled no larger than the minor diameter of the mounting screw threads, and at least
2.Drill a second maximum diameter 1/4” pilot hole up through the center of the electrical box (Figure 8). Install the hanger bracket assembly using 3/8 x 5” lag bolt and 3/8” flat washer. Route the electrical supply wires through the opening provided on the hanger bracket. Do not completely tighten the lag bolt, leave it lose enough such that the hanger bracket assembly can be freely rotated against the electrical box.
3.Temporarily hang the ceiling fan assembly on the hanger bracket, be sure the hanger ball groove engages the hanger bracket tab. Rotate the fan assembly and hanger bracket to the desired orientation. Remove the fan assembly from the hanger bracket.
4.Completely tighten the center lag bolt while holding the hanger bracket in the desired position.

WARNING
Hanger bracket must seat firmly against outlet box. If the outlet box is recessed, remove wall board until bracket contacts box. If bracket and/or outlet box are not securely attached, the fan could wobble or fall.
WARNING
Failure to seat tab in groove could cause damage to electrical wires and possible shock or fire hazard.
NOTE: If not done so already, carefully remove the masking tape applied to the motor leads and support wire to complete wiring.
5.Position the motor lead wires and support cable on the back side of the hanger bracket for final connection to the electrical supply wires.
6.Carefully lift the fan assembly and seat the hangerball/downrod fan assembly into the hanger bracket. Be sure the groove in the hanger ball lines up with the tab on the hanger bracket (Figure 9).
7.Install the end of the fan support cable through the center of the small brass bushing (supplied). Do not allow the bushing to slide down the cable and into the downrod. Now pass the fan support cable through the loop provided on the free end of the ceiling support cable previously installed into the building structure. Next, pass the fan support cable back through the center of the small brass bushing in the opposite direction as the first pass. Pull as much cable as possible through the brass bushing (Figure 9A).
