Standard Ceiling Mounting

by turning the ring to the right until it un-

locks (Figure 6).

Hanging the Fan

REMEMBER

 to turn off the pow-

er. Follow the steps below to hang your 

fan properly.

NOTE: This ceiling fan is supplied with two 

types of hanging assemblies; the standard 

ceiling installation using the downrod with 

ball and socket mounting, and the “close-to-

ceiling” mounting. The “close-to-ceiling” 

mounting is recommended in rooms with 

less than 8-foot ceilings or in areas where  

additional  space  is  desired  from  the  floor 

to the fan blades. When using standard 

downrod installation, the distance from the 

ceiling to the bottom of the fan blades will be  

approximately 12 inches. The “close-to-ceil-

ing” installation reduces the distance from 

the ceiling to the bottom of the fan blades to  

approximately 8 inches.

Once you have decided which ceiling 

 

installation you will use, proceed with the  

following instructions. Where necessary, 

each section of the instructions will note the  

different procedures to follow for the two types 

of installation.

3.  Remove the mounting plate from the 

canopy by loosening the four screws on 

the top of the canopy. Remove the two 

non-slotted screws and loosen the slotted 

screws. This will enable you to remove the 

mounting plate (Figure 7).

Attaching the Blade 

Bracket

IMPORTANT - REMOVE THE RUBBER 

MOTOR STOPS ON THE BOTTOM OF 

THE FAN MOTOR ASSEMBLY BEFORE 

INSTALLING THE BLADE BRACKET/

BLADES OR TESTING THE MOTOR.

Your fan comes packaged with four blade brack-

ets pre-installed in the fan, motor assembly and 

one separate blade bracket in the box. Install the 

separate blade bracket to the fan motor assem-

bly by inserting the alignment post into the slot 

on the bottom of the motor and tightening the 

blade bracket screws and lockwashers. Please 

note that the blade bracket screws and lock-

washers are pre-installed into the blade bracket 

(Figure 5).

WHEN MOUNTING THE FAN ON A SLOPED 

CEILING, THE STANDARD BALL/DOWNROD 

MOUNTING METHOD MUST BE USED. MAKE 

SURE THE MOUNTING BRACKET SLOTS ARE 

ON THE LOWER SIDE BY SLIDING THE MOUNT-

ING BRACKET FROM THE TOP DOWN.
