ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS (See Fig 1.)
Base/Pole assembly

You will need the base cover (N), weight (O),
pole (K,M), washer (R) and L-shaped locking
lever (P).
1. Turn the base cover upside down and place

the weight into the base cover.

2. Insert the threaded end of the L-shaped

locking lever into the hole of the washer,
weight and through the base cover.

3. Whilst holding the base cover and weight with

one hand, connect the pole to the base,

sliding the L-shaped locking lever into the
bottom of the pole (M) with your other hand.

4. Turn the L-shaped locking lever clockwise to

securely attach the pole to the base.

5. Set the base on the floor, weight side down.

Fan head assembly

You are now ready to assemble the fan head.
1. Unscrew rear grill mounting nut (D) before

positioning the rear grill (F) over the motor
shaft (G) making certain that the notches at
the top and bottom of the rear grill, fit over
the prongs on the motor housing (H).

2. Secure the rear grill in its place using the

rear grill mounting nut (D). Turn this nut
clockwise and tighten firmly.

3. Slide the fan blade (B) with the hollowed

interior of the blade facing toward the rear
grill, firmly onto the motor shaft. The top of
the motor shaft should lie even with the
centre of the fan blade.

4. Now use the securing screw (C) (already

attached to the Fan Blade) to lock the blade
into place. Tighten the screw into the side
hole of the fan blade, against the motor
shaft, until both the blade and screw are
secure.

5. Centre the front grill (A) by aligning the

Bionaire logo on the logo plate so that it is
horizontal and parallel with the floor. Then,
holding the front grill against the rear grill,
push the black grill ring (E) into place at the
top and bottom of the fan. (Push directly on
the black grill ring, not on the grills
themselves). Finish securing the grill ring in
the same manner until both grills are joined
underneath the black ring.
