Instructions for How to Assemble a Ceiling Fan

Place the fan motor right side up on a suitable work area. Attach the down rod (which is in between the ceiling mounting plate and the fan motor and keeps the fan blades at a sufficient distance from vaulted or cathedral ceilings) to the fan motor by fishing the wires from the motor through the center of the rod. Secure the rod to the top of the fan motor assembly by inserting the retaining pin. Insert the cotter pin into the hole at the end of the retaining pin until it locks into place. Skip this step if you are mounting your fan flush to a flat ceiling.

Attach the fan blades to the blade brackets with the fabric washers and screws provided. Tighten the screws clockwise with a Phillips screwdriver.

Attach the fan blade brackets to the fan blade mounting plates on the underside of the motor. Tighten the bracket retaining screws with a Phillips screwdriver in a clockwise direction. If your ceiling fan came with plastic stabilizers to keep the motor turning during shipping, remove these from the fan blade mounting plates with a Phillips screwdriver before installing the fan blades.

Connect the wires at the bottom of the fan motor to the wires on the light kit for your fan, if necessary. Twist the black wire from the fan to the black wire from the light kit. Twist a wire nut (supplied with your kit) onto the twisted wires in a clockwise direction. Connect the white wires and bare ground wires from the bottom of the fan and from the light kit in the same fashion.

Push the light kit up to the bottom of the ceiling fan. Twist the light kit slightly if necessary to line up the mounting holes in the fan and the light kit. Thread the screws provided with a Phillips screwdriver into the mounting holes. Attach the globes to the light sockets on the light kit and tighten the thumb screws.
