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 80” motor leads.
Route the motor lead wires through the downrod.
Loosen the two setscrews preinstalled on the motor
coupling.
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.
