REMEMBER

 to turn off the power. Follow the 

steps below to hang your fan properly:

Step 1.

 Remove the decorative canopy 

bottom cover from the canopy by turning the 
cover counter clockwise. (Fig. 5)

Step   2.

  Remove the hanger bracket from the 

canopy by removing the 1 of 2 screws from 
the bottom of the hanger bracket and 
loosening the other one a half turn from the 
screw head. Next, turn the canopy counter 
clockwise to removing the hanger bracket 
from the canopy. (Fig. 5)

Step 3.

 Pass the 120-volt supply wires 

through the center hole in the ceiling hanger 
bracket as shown in Fig. 6.

Step 4.

 Secure the hanger bracket to the 

ceiling outlet box with the screws and 
washers provided with your outlet box.

Step 5.

 Remove the hitch pin, lock pin and 

set screws from the top of the motor 
assembly.

Step 6. 

Route wires exiting from the top of 

the fan motor through the collar cover, 
canopy cover,  canopy and then through the 
ball / downrod. (Fig. 7)

Step 7.

 Align the holes at the bottom of the 

downrod with the holes in the collar on top 
of the motor housing. (Fig.7) Carefully insert 
the hanger pin through the holes in the collar 
and downrod.  Be careful not to jam the pin 
against the wiring inside the downrod. Insert 
the locking pin through the hole near the end 
of the hanger pin until it snaps into its locked 
position, as noted in the circle inset of Fig. 7. 

Step  8.

 Tighten two set screws on top of the 

fan motor firmly.  (Fig. 7)
