How to Put Your Ceiling
Fan Together
1. Remove the hanger ball by loosening the setscrew
in the hanger ball until the ball falls freely down the
downrod (Figure 1). Remove the pin from the
downrod, then remove the hanger ball. Retain the
pin and hanger ball for reinstallation in step 5.
2. Separate, untwist and unkink the three 80” motor
leads. Route the motor lead wires through the
downrod. Remove the upper setscrew from 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. Reinstall the
upper setscrew in the motor coupling. Check that
the lower setscrew is tightened securely (Figure 2).
NOTE: The setscrews must be properly installed
as described above, or fan wobble could result.
3. Make sure the grommet is properly installed in the
coupling cover, then slide the coupling cover on
the downrod until it rests on the motor housing.
Place the ceiling cover over the downrod. Be sure
that the ceiling cover and the coupling cover are
both oriented correctly (Figure 3).
4. Reinstall the hanger ball (Figure 4) on the downrod
as follows. Route the three 80” motor leads through
the hanger ball. Position the pin through the two
holes in the downrod and align the hanger ball so the
pin is captured in the groove in the top of the hanger
ball. Pull the hanger ball up tight against the pin and
securely tighten the setscrew in the hanger ball.
A loose setscrew could create fan wobble.
5.The fan comes with blue, black and white leads that
are 80” long. Before installing fan, measure up
approximately 6 to 9-inches above top of hanger
ball/downrod assembly. Cut off excess leads and
strip back insulation 1/2-inch from end of leads.
6. Engage the connector of the switch housing
assembly with the motor connector (Figure 5). The
two connectors are keyed and color-coded and
must be mated correctly (color-to-color) before
they can be engaged. Make sure the connector
latch closes properly.
It is critical that the clevis pin in the motor coupling
is properly installed and the setscrews securely
tightened. Failure to verify that the pin and setscrews
are properly installed could result in the fan falling.
