How to Assemble Your Ceiling Fan

1. 

Prior to assembly, set aside and save the hardware bag(s) 

packed in the packing.

2. 

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 6.

3. 

The fan comes with blue, black, and white 80

˝

 wires. 

Separate and untwist the three wires.  Route the wires through 
the Downrod.

NOTE: 

 You will be using either the 6

˝

 or the 12

˝

 downrod 

supplied with your fan or an optional downrod purchased 
separately.

4.

 Loosen the two setscrews in the Downrod Support.  Align 

the Clevis Pin holes in the Downrod with the holes in the 
Downrod Support.  Install the Clevis Pin and secure with the 
Hairpin Clip. (Figure 3)  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.

5. 

Route wires through Motor Coupling Cover (Fig 2) or the 

Decorative Sleeve (Fig 3) and through opening in Canopy.  
Position Canopy on fan shown with open side facing up.  
(Figure 4)

6. 

Reinstall the Hanger Ball (Figure 4) on the Downrod as 

follows.  Route the three 80

˝

 wires and support cable 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. 

Securely tighten the setscrew 

in the Hanger Ball.  A loose setscrew could create fan 
wobble.

7. 

While pulling up on the hanger ball, securely tighten the 

two setscrews with nuts in the downrod support. 
(Figure 2 & 3)

NOTE:

 The setscrews must be properly installed as described 

above, or fan-wobble could result.

8.  

Slide the Motor Coupling Cover (Fig 2) or the Decorative 

Sleeve (Fig 3) down until it touches the top of the Housing.

9. 

Before installing fan, measure up approximately 6-9 inches 

above top of Downrod/Hanger Ball Assembly.  Cut off excess 
wire and strip back insulation ½

˝

 from end of wire.

10.

 You have now completed the upper assembly of your 

ceiling fan.  You can now proceed with the hanging and the 
electrical wiring of your fan.
