BASE POLE ASSEMBLY

1. Extend the upper pole through the top of the
lower pole and secure it firmly by turning the
height adjust knob clockwise.

2. Insert the bottom of the lower pole into the
hole on the top of the base.

FAN HEAD ASSEMBLY

You are now ready to assemble the fan head.
1: Position the rear grill over the motor shaft,

making certain the 3 notches at the top
and bottom of the rear grill fit over the 3
protruding notches on the motor housing.
Make sure the rear grill fits securely against
the motor housing. (Figure 2)

grill nut. Turn the nut clockwise and tighten
firmly. (Figure 2)

3: Slide the large fan blade, with the hollowed

interior of the fan blade facing toward the rear
grill, firmly onto the motor shaft. Then install the
small fan blade. The blades have a “D” type
hole that matches the tip of the motor shaft.
These two should be aligned so that the
blades can be properly assembled. Make sure
that the fan blades rest on the pin on the
motor.
NOTE: The shaft screw portion should
protrude from the front of the blades.
