3 • Assembling and Hanging the Fan

4 • Wiring the Fan

You can assemble your fan for standard mounting (steps 3-1 – 3-2) 
or for low profi le mounting (steps 3-3 – 3-4). 

Note:

 For low profi le 

mounting, the downrod is replaced with the low profi le washer.  

3-1.  To assemble fan to hang down from a fl at or angled ceiling, insert 

the downrod through the canopy and canopy trim ring. Feed the 
wires from the fan through the downrod.

3-2.  Loosen the allen head set screw on the adapter using the large 

allen wrench. Screw the pipe and ball assembly into the fan 
assembly. 

Note:

 When the pipe and ball assembly is fully installed, 

2-3 threads on the pipe will still be visible; this is normal. Securely 
retighten the set screw with a wrench or pliers. Skip to Step 3-5.

CAUTION:

 Th

  e adapter has a special coating on the threads. Do 

not remove this coating; the coating prevents the downrod from 
unscrewing. Once assembled, do not remove the downrod.

3-3.  Place the low profi le washer (lip up) into the canopy. Be sure the 

green ground wire is pointing up toward the ceiling.

3-4.  Align the holes in the washer with the holes in the adapter. 

Assemble securely with three #8-32 x 3/4” screws. 

3-5.  Raise the fan and place the hook on the ceiling plate through the 

U-shaped hole in the rim.

WARNING:

  Fan may fall if not assembled as directed in these 

installation instructions.
