To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal
injury, mount fan to outlet box marked “Acceptable
for Fan Support of 50 lbs. or Less”, and use screws
supplied with outlet box. Most outlet boxes
commonly used for support of light fixtures are not
acceptable for fan support and may need to be
replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

Carefully lift the fan and seat the hanger
ball/downrod assembly on the hanger bracket that
was just attached to the outlet box (Figure 14). Be

25.

Reinstall the hanger ball on the downrod
as follows. Route the motor leads through the
hanger ball and slide the hanger ball over the
downrod (Figure 11). Install the pin through the
holes at the top of the downrod and slide the
hanger ball up the downrod, aligning the ball so
the pin is captured in the groove in the top of the
hanger ball. Pull the hanger ball up tight against
the pin and securely tighten the setscrew in the
hanger ball. A loose setscrew could create fan
wobble.

26.

The blue, black, white, and yellow leads exiting
the downrod are 80-inches long. Before installing
the fan, measure up approximately 6 to 9-inches
above the ball/downrod assembly. Cut off excess
leads and strip back insulation 1/2-inch from end
of leads.

NOTE: CEILING COVER, SUPPLY WIRES
AND FAN WIRES OMITTED FOR CLARITY.

It is critical that the pin in the hanger ball is properly
installed and the setscrew securely tightened.
Failure to verify that the pin and setscrew are
properly installed could result in the fan falling.
