wires through the downrod. Remove
the upper setscrew from the motor
coupling. Align the clevis pin holes in
the downrod with the holes in the motor
coupling. Install the clevis pin and
secure with the hairpin clip (Figure 2).
The clevis pin must go through the
holes in the motor coupling and the
holes in the downrod. Be sure to push
the straight leg of the hairpin clip
through the hole near the end of the
clevis pin until the curved portion of the
hairpin clip snaps around the clevis pin.
The hairpin clip must be properly
installed to prevent the clevis pin from
working loose. Pull on the downrod to
make sure the clevis pin is properly
installed. Reinstall the upper setscrew
in the motor coupling. Check that the
lower setscrew is tightened securely

4. Reinstall the hanger ball (Figure 4) on
the downrod as follows. Route the
three 80” motor leads through the
hanger ball. Position the pin through
the two holes in the downrod and align
the hanger 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.
5.The fan comes with blue, black and
white leads that are 80” long. Before
installing fan, measure up
approximately 6 to 9-inches above top
of hanger ball/downrod assembly. Cut
off excess leads and strip back
insulation 1/2-inch from end of leads.
6. Engage the connector of the switch
housing assembly with the motor
connector (Figure 5). The two
connectors are keyed and color-coded
and must be mated correctly (color-to-
color) before they can be engaged.
Make sure the connector latch closes
properly.
7. Remove the three switch housing
mounting screws (Figure 5) from the
switch housing plate. Position the
switch housing assembly on the switch
housing plate and align the holes in the
switch housing assembly with the holes
in the plate. Secure the switch housing
assembly by installing the three screws
(Figure 6).
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.
