WARNING: To avoid fire, shock, and serious personal injury, follow these instructions. Do Not
mount the fan on radiant-heating ceilings.
Safety Instructions
1. Read your owner’s manual carefully and keep it for future reference.
2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock service panel
disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service
disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a warning device, such as a tag, to the
service panel.
3. Do not use the sloped ceiling kit for any other appliance, lighting fixture, or purpose other than for
which it was designed.
4. Do not modify the sloped ceiling kit in any manner.
5. This sloped ceiling kit can be used on ceilings with up to a maximum of twelve inches per foot
(45 degrees) slope.
Additional Safety Instructions for Installation
1. To avoid possible shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the fuse box before wiring, and do not
operate fan without blades.
2. All wiring must satisfy National and Local Electrical Codes. Use the National Electrical Code if
Local Codes do not exist. The ceiling fan must be grounded as a precaution against possible
electrical shock. Electrical installation should be made or approved by a licensed electrician.
3. The outlet box and joist must be securely mounted an capable of
reliably supporting a least 50 pounds. Use only U.L. outlet boxes
listed as acceptable for fan support, and use the mounting screws
provided with the 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.
4. Only use the hanger ball and mounting bracket supplied with this
kit. Any other combination of hanger ball and mounting bracket
could result in the fan becoming loose and possibly falling.
5. The sloped ceiling kit must be used with the appropriate downrod
for you location, ceiling height and ceiling slope. See chart for
downrod length required for your ceiling slope.
CAUTION: Be sure the fan blade tips are at least seven feet from the floor and at least six-inches
from the wall and ceiling to avoid the risk of personal injury. Do not install the fan near a smoke
detector. The fan may cause the smoke detector to malfunction.
6. The sloped ceiling kit must be installed as shown in the manual to obtain the maximum safety and
effectiveness of the unit at your chosen location.
7. When installing the sloped ceiling kit, be sure all mounting hardware and setscrews are securely
tightened to prevent the fan from becoming loose and falling, resulting in possible personal injury
and/or property damage.
8. Follow the recommended instructions for the proper method of wiring your ceiling fan. If you do
not know enough about electrical wiring, have your fan installed by a licensed electrician.

NOTE: If your fan already has a short downrod
attached, follow steps 2 and 3. If no downrod is
presently attached, skip to step 4.
2. Remove the hanger ball as follows: Loosen the
setscrew in the hanger ball, slide the ball down the
downrod, and remove the pin and retain for later
use. (Figure 3.) Then slide the hanger ball off the
downrod. Discard this hanger ball. (Only use the
hanger ball supplied with this kit.)
3. Remove the downrod from the motor coupling as
follows: loosen setscrew in motor coupling using
the 5/32” setscrew wrench supplied with fan.
Remove the hairpin clip from the end of the clevis
pin. Remove the clevis pin, then slide the downrod
from motor coupling (Figure 4). Retain all pins and
setscrew for later use.
4. Select the correct length of downrod. Refer to Page

5. Separate, untwist and unkink the motor leads.
Route the motor leads through the downrod and
seat the downrod into the motor coupling (Figure
6).
6. Align the clevis pin holes in the downrod with the
holes in the motor coupling and install the clevis pin
(supplied with fan, or removed in step 3). (Figure
6.) The clevis pin must go through the holes in the
motor coupling and the holes in the downrod, and
must be secured with the hairpin clip (supplied with
fan, or removed in step 3). Push the straight leg of
the hairpin clip through the hole in 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 (Figure 6).
7. Tighten the setscrew in the motor coupling using
the 5/32” setscrew wrench supplied with the fan
(Figure 6).

It is critical that the clevis pin in the motor
coupling 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.
Be sure the fan blade tips are at least seven
feet from the floor and at least six inches from
the wall and ceiling to avoid risk of personal
injury and hampering fan efficiency (Figure 5).

supplied with this kit) on the downrod as follows.
Route the motor leads through the hanger ball and
slide the hanger ball over the downrod (Figure 7).
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.
Only use the hanger ball and mounting bracket
supplied with this kit. Any other combination of
hanger ball and mounting bracket could result
in fan becoming loose and falling.
Failure to seat tab in groove could cause
damage to electrical wire and possible shock or
fire hazard.
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.

14. Raise the ceiling cover up to the hanger bracket
(Figure 11) and determine which set of tapped
holes (“A” or “B”, Figure 10) should be used so
that the ceiling cover slot will clear the downrod.
(On lesser sloped ceilings, it will not matter which
set of holes are used. However, on higher sloped
ceilings, only one set of holes will allow the ceiling
cover to be installed without interfering with the
downrod.)
15. Screw the two 1-1/4” threaded studs (supplied
with your ceiling fan) into the selected tapped
holes (“A” or “B”).
16. Lift the ceiling cover up to the threaded studs and
turn until studs protrude through the holes in the
ceiling cover (Figure 11).
17. Secure the ceiling cover in place by sliding
lockwashers over the threaded studs and
installing the two knurled knobs (supplied).
(Figure 11.) Tighten the knurled knobs securely
until the ceiling cover fits snugly against the
ceiling and the hole in the ceiling cover is clear of
the downrod. To avoid possible fire or shock, make sure that
the electrical wires are completely inside the
outlet box and not pinched between the ceiling
cover and the ceiling.
