STEP 9. Measure and cut the threaded rod with a
hacksaw. Use the chart, Figure 8, to determine the
length.
STEP 10. Remove the nut over the cut end of the
threaded rod. This cleans the threads after cutting.
STEP 11. Thread the cut end of the rod into the hub,
STEP 12. Installtheceilingplate.Therotate/locklever
