Safety Information

• Always disconnect power to the ceiling fan circuit at the main electrical panel before beginning any installation or maintenance.
• Ensure the ceiling fan is securely mounted and capable of supporting the additional length and weight of the extension downrod.
• Maintain a minimum distance of 7.2 feet from the floor to the lowest point of the fan blades after installation.
• Ensure fan blades are at least 12 inches away from any walls or obstacles to prevent interference and ensure proper airflow.
• This downrod is designed for unthreaded fan connections. Do not attempt to force it onto a threaded fan downrod receiver.

Setup and Installation

This downrod is designed for easy installation, primarily involving the replacement of the existing downrod and the use of the provided extension wires. Ensure your ceiling fan's original downrod is not threaded, as this product is unthreaded.

Required Tools (Not Included):

• Screwdriver (appropriate for your fan's screws)
• Wire strippers/cutters (if modifying existing wiring)
• Electrical tape (for securing connections)

Installation Steps:

1. Preparation: Before starting, ensure the power supply to the ceiling fan is completely turned off at the circuit breaker.
2. Remove Existing Downrod Ball: If your current downrod has a ball, you will need to remove it. Loosen and remove the two screws from the downrod ball.
3. Detach Downrod Ball: Lift the downrod, then remove the horizontal bar and detach the downrod ball from the original fan downrod.
4. Thread Wires: Carefully thread the ceiling fan's electrical wires through the new KAPOEFAN extension downrod. It is recommended to do this before attaching the downrod ball.
5. Attach Downrod Ball: Attach the previously removed downrod ball to the new KAPOEFAN downrod. Insert the horizontal rod into its position.
6. Secure Downrod Ball: Tighten the long screw first, then the short one, to secure the downrod ball firmly to the extension downrod.
7. Connect Extension Wires: Use the provided extension cables to connect the fan's wiring to the house wiring, ensuring all connections are secure and insulated.
8. Mount Fan: Carefully mount the ceiling fan assembly with the new downrod into the ceiling bracket, following your fan's specific mounting instructions.

Operating Instructions

The KAPOEFAN extension downrod itself does not have operational controls. Its function is purely structural, extending the reach of your ceiling fan. Once installed, operate your ceiling fan as per its original manufacturer's instructions. The extension downrod will not alter the fan's speed, light, or other functions.

Maintenance

The KAPOEFAN extension downrod requires minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning and inspection are recommended to ensure its longevity and safe operation.

• Cleaning: Wipe the downrod with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the polished finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check the downrod and its connections to the ceiling fan and mounting bracket for any signs of looseness, wear, or damage. Ensure all screws are tight.
• Wiring: Inspect the extension wires for any fraying or exposed insulation. If any damage is found, disconnect power and replace the wires immediately.

Troubleshooting

Most issues related to the downrod are typically installation-related or stem from incompatibility. Refer to your ceiling fan's manual for fan-specific troubleshooting.
