Eclipse Slope Ceiling Adapter Instructions
By installing the sloped ceiling adapter, your Eclipse fan may be ihung on a slope ceiling up to a 33 degree angle.
Route fan wires through wire guide, and position wire guide inside of threaded collar, with wires positioned in slot of
threaded collar.
Route wires through inner down rod and screw inner down rod into threaded collar being careful not to pinch wires. Rotate
inner down rod until large hole is aligned with slot in threaded collar. Insert and hand tighten set screw so that it goes
through large hole in inner down rod. This is a safety mechanism to prevent the inner down rod from ever coming out of
threaded collar.
Route wires in order through the slope kit canopy, slumped washer, spring, large washer, and hex nut. Tighten hex nut onto
inner down rod firmly, but not too tight.
Insert cotter pin through small hole in inner down rod and bend back pin ends to hold in place. This must be above the hex
nut as a safety mechanism to prevent the hex nut from ever coming off the inner down rod.
Mount slope ceiling plate (larger than standard mounting plate) to junction box as described in owner’s manual. Be sure to
mount ceiling plate so that one of the set screw holes is directly down slope on the ceiling.
Suspend fan by hook on large washer from cable loop on the ceiling plate and perform your electrical connections as
described in original instructions.
Attach fan to ceiling plate as described in original instructions and screw set screws in place. Opening on slope kit canopy
must be lined up parallel with slope of ceiling for slope mechanism to work.
Using two hands positioned as close to the slope kit canopy as possible, rotate/slide fan down the slope of the ceiling until
it is hanging in the appropriate vertical orientation. Use finesse, not force.
