Installation of the Decorative Support Rods Assembly
NOTE: The following procedures are to be performed only if you have installed the 18” (or longer) downrod.
1.Loosen the setscrew in the collar of the rod support assembly using the 5/64” hex wrench (supplied) and slide the support assembly over the downrod (Figure 16).
4.Raise the rod support assembly and loosely engage the rod ring with one of the hooks on the rod support assembly (Figure 18). Then tighten the setscrew using the 5/64” hex wrench (supplied).

2.Verify that one or two threads are visible between the decorative turnbuckle and the rod segments (Figure 17). If necessary, turn rod segments to expose more threads. Repeat for all rod assemblies.
3.Engage the rod hook with the ring in the housing assembly (Figure 17).

5.Engage the other two support rods in the same manner as above. Loosen the setscrew and raise the rod support assembly until the support rods are taut and in line with the downrod (Figure 19). Then securely tighten the setscrew using the 5/64” hex wrench.
6.Tighten (rotate) the turnbuckles (Figure 17) of the rod assemblies to take up any slack, thereby reducing the chance of noise due to vibration when the fan is operating.
NOTE: The decorative support rods are now installed and the fan is ready for further installation. Continue with Step 4 in CEILING FAN PROCEDURES, Page 5.
