5. HANGING THE FAN

REMEMBER

 to turn off the power. 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" installation. The "close -to - 

ceiling" installation is recommended in 

rooms with less than 8-feet ceilings or in 

areas where additional space is desired 

from the floor to the fan blades. 

 

STANDARD CEILING INSTALLATION

Step 1.

 Pass the 120-volt supply wires 

through the center hole in the ceiling 

hanger bracket as shown in Fig. 5.

Step 2. 

Secure the hanger bracket to the 

ceiling outlet box with the screws and 

washers provided with your outlet box.

Step 3.

 Remove the hitch pin, lock pin and 

set screws from the top of the motor 

assembly.

Step 4.

 Route wires exiting from the top of 

the fan motor through the coupling cover, 

canopy, and then through the ball/ 

downrod. (Fig. 6)

Step 5.

 Align the holes at the bottom of 

the downrod with the holes in the collar on 

top of the motor housing (Fig.6). Carefully 

insert the hitch pin through the holes in 

the collar and downrod. Be careful not to 

jam the pin against the wiring inside the 

downrod. Insert the locking pin through 

the hole near the end of the hitch pin until 

it snaps into its locked position, as noted in 

the circle inset of Fig. 6. 

Step 6.

 Tighten two set screws on top of 

the fan motor firmly. (Fig. 6)

Step 7.

 Place the downrod ball into the 

hanger bracket socket. (Fig. 7)
