4. Installation of Canopy Assembly.
Locate the 2 Allen screws located in the outer circle
on the underside of the canopy assembly and make
sure they are partially loosened. Remove pin from
yoke (at bottom of canopy assembly) with Allen
wrench provided. Be sure to partially loosen both
set screws on the yoke as well to avoid problems
when threading the fan downrod and wires through
later.
Locate 4 tabs inside canopy ring. Turn canopy ring
so open end of tabs faces up and then place canopy
ring over downrod. Allow canopy ring to rest on top
of fan motor housing at this time.
Thread safety cable and wires through yoke and
tube in center of canopy assembly and pull extra
wire slack from the top of the canopy assembly.
Insert downrod into yoke on canopy assembly,
aligning hole in downrod with yoke on the canopy
assembly--make sure wires do not get twisted.
Carefully re-insert pin that was previously removed
and securely tighten with Allen wrench. Re-tighten
both set screws with Allen wrench as well.
WARNING: Failure to secure pin and tighten set
screws completely could result in the fan becoming
loose and possibly falling.
5. Preparation for Wiring.
To prepare fan for wiring, lift canopy assembly to
mounting plate and then hang canopy assembly
on j-hook on underside of mounting plate. (Use
one of the non-slotted holes on the rim of the
canopy assembly or the preassembled canopy
cable to do so.) This will allow canopy assembly
to hang out of the way while wiring.
Tip: Seek the help of another person to hold the
stepladder in place and to lift the fan up to you
once you are set on the ladder.
Find a secure attachment point (wood ceiling joist
highly recommended) and secure safety cable. It
will be necessary to use a heavy duty wood screw,
washer and lock washer (not supplied) with the
safety cable loop. If necessary, adjust the loop at
the end of the safety cable. The loop at the end of
the safety cable should just fit over the threads on
the wood screw. Test safety cable by pulling on loose
end of cable with pliers. If the safety cable slips, the
loop must be adjusted tighter.
Extra cable slack can be left in ceiling area.
IMPORTANT: Wire fan per the "Wiring" instructions
in the installation manual for your fan.
