FAN PREPARATION
Prepare for fan installation as follows:
Step 4a.
Remove the paper shield (Figure #1) from
the motor.
Step 4b.
Locate the set screw as shown in Figures
#2. If the end of the set screw can be seen within the
motor coupling as shown, you will need to unscrew
the set screw so that the bolt does not remain in the
path of the downrod.
Step 5a.
Slide the pole cover on to the pole, then
route the wires through the 5" Perma•Lock downrod
and ball assembly as shown in Figures #3. 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.
