 WARNING:  Fan may fall if not assembled as directed in these 

installation instructions.

3-1.  Unbundle the wires from the fan.
For Standard or Angled mounting:
3-2.  Insert the downrod through the canopy and canopy trim ring. 

Feed the wires from the fan through the downrod on one side of 
the pin in the ball. 

3-3.  Loosen the square head setscrew 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 setscrew with a wrench or pliers. Skip to 
step 3-7.

     

 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.

For Low Profile mounting:
    Note:
 For low profile mounting, the downrod is replaced with the 

low profile washer. 

3-4.  Remove the setscrew from the adapter.
3-5.  Place the low profile washer into the canopy with the lip down.
3-6.  Align the holes in the washer with the holes in the adapter. 

Assemble securely with three low profile screws. 

Hanging the Fan:
Note: 
To hang the fan, you must tilt the canopy to an almost vertical 
position so that the canopy slots sit on the ceiling plate hooks. 
3-7.  Raise the fan and align the slots in the canopy with the hooks on 

the ceiling plate.

3-8.  Place the slots over the hooks to hang the fan.
