• The next step is to remove the mounting plate. The mounting plate is on the top of the canopy. You’ll want to loosen the four screws here.
• Once that’s done, the non-slotted screws should be removed by a screwdriver. You can then remove the mounting plate.

• When putting light kit together, may need to remove some screws in order to get the housing together
• Don’t use serious force on the light kit housing or it could break

  to tighten the screws after all three were in place.
• Try to keep the fan balanced so there is no fan wobble at all when the fan is moving.

Mounting the Fan to the Ceiling

• 2/4 screws were removed in this installation as two of the screws were for packaging only. It was easier to install the mounting with the two remaining screws.
• Try to keep the washers where they are
