Hold the ceiling fan mount so that the ball faces the ceiling.
Insert the lead wires through the canopy – the part that sits flush with the ceiling after the installation. Push the wires through the downrod extension as well.
Push the downrod extension into the raised section of the mount. This is the collar yoke.
Twist the downrod extension until the holes match up with the ones on the collar yoke.
Push the connector pin through the holes until it comes out the other side.
Slide a cotter pin through the end of the connector pin.
Bend the wires on the cotter pin so they prevent the connector pin from coming out.
Tighten the locknuts or setscrews with a pair of pliers. Continue installing the ceiling fan according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
