IMPORTANT
Your ceiling fan is designed to be installed either in the standard manner, or in the
close-to-the-ceiling manner. Using the standard method, the hanger ball/downrod assembly will suspend
the fan several inches below the ceiling cover. Using the close-to-the-ceiling method, the ceiling cover
installs directly on the fan motor housing, thus mounting the fan 3-1/2 inches closer to the ceiling than the
standard method. In no case should the fan blades be lower than seven feet above the floor. Depending
on your desired mounting method, proceed to “3. INSTALLING HANGER BALL/DOWNROD ASSEMBLY”
for standard mounting, or to “4. INSTALLING CEILING COVER ON FAN MOTOR HOUSING” for
close-to-the-ceiling mounting.

Separate, untwist and unkink the three 42” motor leads.
Route the motor lead wires through the downrod.
Align the clevis pin holes in the downrod with the holes
in the motor coupling. Install the clevis pin and secure
with the hairpin clip (Figure 2).
The clevis pin must go through the holes in the motor
coupling and the holes in the downrod. Be sure to push
the straight leg of the hairpin clip through the hole near
the end of the clevis pin until the curved portion of the
hairpin clip snaps around the clevis pin.
The hairpin clip must be properly installed to prevent the
clevis pin from working loose. Pull on the downrod to
make sure the clevis pin is properly installed.
