Hanging the Fan
REMEMBER to turn off the power. 
Follow the steps below to hang your fan 
properly. 
NOTE: This ceiling fan is supplied 
with two types of hanging 
assemblies; the standard ceiling 
installation using the downrod with 
ball and socket mounting, and the 
"close-to-ceiling" mounting. The 
"close-to-ceiling" mounting is 
recommended in rooms with less 
than 8-foot ceilings or in areas 
where additional space is desired 
from the floor to the fan blades. 
When using standard downrod 
installation, the distance from the 
ceiling to the bottom of the fan 
blades will be approximately 15 
inches. The "close-to-ceiling" 
installation reduces the distance 
from the ceiling to the bottom of the 
fan blades to approximately 9 inches.
Once you have decided which ceiling 
installation you will use, proceed with 
the following instructions. Where 
necessary. each section of the 
instructions will note the different 
procedures to follow for the two types of 
installation.

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
