Fan Assembly.

Remove hanging ball from downrod provided by loosening set screw on hanging ball. Lower hanging ball and remove stop pin and then slide hanging ball off of the downrod. [Refer to diagram 1.]

Loosen yoke set screws and nuts at top of motor assembly. Remove pin and clip from motor housing yoke. [Refer to diagram 2.] Tip: To prepare for threading electrical wires through downrod, apply a small piece of electrical tape to the ends of the electrical wires–this will keep the wires together when threading them through the downrod. [Refer to diagram 2.] Determine the length of threaded downrod you wish to use. Thread safety cable and electrical wires through threaded end of downrod and pull extra wire slack from the upper end of the downrod. [Refer to diagram 2.] Thread downrod into the motor assembly yoke until holes for pin and clip in downrod align with holes in yoke–make sure wires do not get twisted. Re-insert pin and clip that were previously removed. Tighten yoke set screws and nuts securely. [Refer to diagram 2.]

Locate anti-sway adapter in hardware pack. Slide yoke cover, canopy cover, anti-sway adapter and canopy over downrod. (NOTE: Canopy cover must be turned with shiny side toward the motor assembly. Anti-sway adapter must be turned with wider end toward the canopy.) [Refer to diagram 3.]

Thread safety cable and wires through hanging ball and then slide hanging ball over downrod–the top of the downrod should be noted as having a set screw hole; use this hole when setting the set screw. Insert stop pin into top of downrod and raise hanging ball. Be sure stop pin aligns with slots on the inside of the hanging ball. Tighten set screw securely. [Refer to diagram 4.]

WARNING: Failure to tighten set screw (on hanging ball) completely could result in the fan becoming loose and possibly falling.
