 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.  To assemble fan to hang down from a flat or angled ceiling, insert 

the downrod through the canopy and canopy trim ring. Feed the 

wires from the fan through the downrod.

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 (lip up) into the canopy. Be sure the 

green ground wire is pointing up toward the ceiling.

3-6.  Align the holes in the washer with the holes in the adapter. 

Assemble securely with three low profile screws. 

3-7.  Raise the fan and place the hook on the ceiling plate through the 

U-shaped hole in the rim.
