not exceed 46 mm. Remove any dust from the hole, and then insert the anchor
hook and fully tighten.
PARTS AND HARDWARE
INSTALLATION
Install downrod
Align holes on downrod with holes on motor bracket. Secure downrod with the M6
x 32 mm bolt and M6 nut (Fig. 1.1). If you are installing the optional
uplight, make sure the downrod wiring harness and the motor unit wiring
harness are on opposite sides of the downrod. This will make the harnesses
easier to connect to the uplight.
If you are NOT installing the uplight, connect downrod wiring harness to motor
unit wiring harness (Fig. 1.2). If you are installing the uplight, do not
connect the downrod wiring harness.
Install lower safety cable and ground wire
Install safety cable and ground wire lugs with unpainted screws and lock
washers (Fig. 2.1).
Install uplight (optional)
Skip this step if you are not installing the uplight.
Make sure wiring harnesses are as close to downrod as possible so that they do
not interfere with uplight installation (Fig. 3.1).
Skip this step if you are not installing the uplight.
Align rectangular cutouts in center of uplight with bolts on downrod. Make
sure uplight wiring harness and motor unit wiring harness are on opposite
sides of downrod. This will make the harnesses easier to connect. Slide
uplight down the downrod, resting it on the fan hub (Fig. 3.2).
WARNING: Skin or eye damage may result from directly viewing ultraviolet light produced by the lamp in this apparatus. Always disconnect power before relamping or servicing. Replace ultraviolet LEDs with Model No. 1050-45-50, manufactured by Big Ass Fans.
Skip this step if you are not installing the uplight.
Tighten the two set screws at top of uplight. Connect uplight wiring harness
to motor unit wiring harness. Connect downrod wiring harness to receptacle on
uplight (Fig. 3.3).
Reduce slack
Make sure all hardware is secure, and then gently tug cables at top of downrod
to reduce slack (Fig. 4).
Position wiring cover and canopy
Slide wiring cover down downrod, resting it on the fan hub or uplight. Make
sure no wires are visible between the cover and fan hub or uplight. Slide
canopy down downrod, resting it on the wiring cover (Fig. 5).
Install mounting ball
Slide mounting ball over downrod (Fig. 6.1).
Insert 6 mm steel pin into hole at top of downrod, and then slide the mounting ball upward, seating the steel pin in the inner slots (Fig. 6.2).
Insert wedge into mounting ball and secure with screw. Tighten screw enough to
prevent movement between the mounting ball and downrod, but do not over
tighten (Fig. 6.3).
Install mounting bracket
Disconnect power to fan location before installing mounting bracket.
WARNING: Mount only to an outlet box marked acceptable for fan support.
Secure mounting bracket to mounting structure with suitable hardware (not
supplied) (Fig. 7). Outlet box shown. Your mounting structure may diff er
from the illustration. Power supply omitted from mounting bracket illustration
for clarity.
Hang fan
Raise fan to mounting bracket. Align rib in mounting bracket with slot in mounting ball, position mounting ball, and let fan hang freely (Fig. 8).
Gently twist downrod to ensure it is properly seated and will not move during
fan operation.
Wire fan
Disconnect power to fan location before wiring fan.
Wire fan as shown using the wire connectors (Fig. 9). Attach green ground wire to mounting bracket with the unpainted screw. Connect wiring harness from power supply to wiring harness from downrod, making sure that the wiring and safety cable are routed in the same direction.
Carefully tuck wiring into outlet box or building structure. Ensure wire
connectors are turned upward and that wires are spread apart with grounded
conductors on one side of the outlet box/mounting structure and ungrounded
conductors on the other side.
