ASSEMBLING BALL HANGER TO MOTOR ASSEMBLY

Ceiling height and the desired distance above the floor the fan is to be located will dictate the length of ball hanger
downrod (or stem) required to hang the motor assembly.

Installation on ceilings 8-10 feet high can be accomplished with the ball hanger downrod (stem) supplied. The fan is
shipped from the factory with a 3-1/2” ball hanger downrod (stem) and is designed for ceilings 8’ high.

For higher ceiling applications, replace the 3-1/2” downrod (stem) with a Marley Engineered Products Model C902 stem acces-
sory (downrod) in 12”, 18”, 24” and 36” lengths. These downrods are offered in a color to match each Marley Engineered
Products fan and are available from your local Marley Engineered Products distributor. Additional installation instructions are
included with each downrod (stem) accessory kit.

1.

Guide the three leads coming from the top of the motor assembly through the small end of the ceiling canopy and then
through the bottom end of the ball hanger downrod and out the top. (See Fig. 2.)

2.

Remove the thru pin from the downrod mounting hub (if installed). If
thru pin is not installed, you will find it and the cotter pin in the fan’s
hardware bag.

3.

Unscrew the two set screws in the downrod mounting hub just far
enough to prevent prematurely dropping the downrod (stem).

4.

Place the downrod (stem) into the downrod mounting hub, being
careful not to cut or pinch the leads.

5.

Align the thru pin holes in the downrod mounting hub with the
thru pin holes in the downrod (stem).

6.

Insert the thru pin through the thru pin holes in the assembled
downrod (stem) and downrod mounting hub. Insert the cotter pin
through the hole in the end of the thru pin. Separate the cotter pin
legs and fold them back to prevent removal of the cotter pin and
secure the thru pin (See Fig. 4). Some units will employ a hair
spring cotter pin which once snapped in place will not require
bending the pin’s legs back.

7.

Uniformly retighten the set screws to secure the downrod (stem) in
a vertical position. Failure to do this could result in a crooked fan
installation.

In all cases, whichever downrod length you select, take care to prevent the bottom edge of the blade from being less than 7 feet from the floor.

nection respectively.
