FAN PREPARATION
PERMA•LOCK™ HARDWARE
(not to scale)
Prepare for fan installation as follows:
Step 4a.
Remove the paper warning shield from the motor.
Step 4b.
Using the provided Allen wrench (attached to
the paper motor warning shield), loosen the Allen set
screw.
Step 4c.
Route the wires through the Perma•Lock™
downrod and ball assembly. Insert the downrod into the
motor coupling and turn it clockwise until it stops turning,
ensuring that the pole has bottomed out.
TIP:
The downrod has a tapered thread that is designed
to lock completely when installed correctly.
Step 4d.
Tighten the set screw with the Allen wrench to
ensure safe operation of your fan. If it is tight enough, you
should not be able to turn the downrod counterclockwise
with your hands. If in doubt, tighten the set screw with
the Allen wrench until you cannot turn it any further.
