How to Assemble Your Ceiling Fan

Pin

Setscrew

Hanger

Ball

Figure 1

1. 

Remove the Hanger Ball 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 5.

2. 

The fan comes with blue, black, white 80

˝

 wires and 

safety cable. Separate & untwist the three wires and safety 
cable. Route the wires through the downrod.

NOTE: 

 You will be using either the 6

˝

 downrod supplied with 

your fan or an optional downrod purchased separately.

3.

 Loosen the two setscrews in the Downrod Support.  Align 

the Clevis Pin holes in the Downrod with the holes in the 
Downrod Support.  Install the Clevis Pin and secure with 
the Hairpin Clip. (Figure 3)  Be sure to 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 
on the Downrod to make sure the clevis pin is properly 
installed.

4. 

Route wires and cable through Motor Coupling Cover 

and Canopy  on fan shown with open side facing up. 
(Figure 3)

5. 

Reinstall the Hanger Ball (Figure 1) on the Downrod 

as follows.  Route the three 80

˝

 wires and cable through 

the Hanger Ball.  Position the Pin through the two holes 
in the Downrod and align the Hanger Ball so the Pin is 
captured in the groove in the top of the Hanger Ball.  Pull 
the Hanger Ball up tight against the pin. 

Securely tighten 

the setscrew in the Hanger Ball.  A loose setscrew 
could create fan wobble.

6. 

While pulling up on the hanger ball, securely tighten the 

two 3/16-24 x 3/8

˝

 setscrews in the downrod support. Slide 

the Motor Coupling Cover down. (Figures 2 & 3)

7. 

The fan comes with blue, black, white leads and support 

cable.  Before installing fan, measure up approximately 
6-9 inches above top of Downrod/Hanger Ball Assembly.  
Cut off excess wire and strip back insulation ½

˝

 from end 

of wire.

8. 

All set screws must be checked and retightened where 

necessary before installation.

9.

 You have now completed the upper assembly of your 

new ceiling fan.  You can now proceed with the hanging 
and the electrical wiring of your fan.
