5 • Assembling and Hanging the Fan

Steps 5-4 – 5-5

Low Profile Screw

Low Profile Washer

Steps 5-1 – 5-2

Downrod 

Canopy

You can assemble your fan for standard mounting (steps 5-1 – 5-2) 
or for low profile mounting (steps 5-3 – 5-5). 

Note:

 For low profile 

mounting, the downrod is replaced with the low profile washer.  
5-1.  To assemble fan to hang down from a flat or angled ceiling, insert 

the downrod through the canopy. Feed the wires from the fan 
through the downrod.

5-2.  Loosen the square head set screw on the adapter to install the 

pipe and ball assembly. 

Note:

 When the pipe and ball assembly 

is fully installed, 2-3 threads on the pipe will still be visible; this is 

normal. Securely retighten the set screw with a wrench or pliers. 

Skip to Step 5-6.

     

 

CAUTION:

 The adapter has a special coating on the threads. Do 

not remove this coating; the coating prevents the downrod from 
unscrewing. Once assembled, do not remove the downrod.

5-3.  Remove the set screw from the adapter.
5-4.  Place the low profile washer (lip down) into the canopy. Be sure 

the green ground wire is pointing up toward the ceiling.

5-5.  Align the holes in the washer with the holes in the adapter. 

Assemble securely with three low profile screws. 

Note:

 Before hanging the fan, align and engage the two tabs from the 

bottom of the canopy and the two grooves in the hanger ball.
5-6.  Raise the fan and place the hook on the ceiling plate through the 

round hole in the rim.

     

 

WARNING:

  Fan may fall if not assembled as directed in these 

installation instructions.
