When trying to close the canopy and you may need that third hand, or another person to help. One thing that you can do, is use the ALLEN WRENCH that you used to tighten the set screw on the pole to help you.

Step 1. With your left hand lift up on the canopy, lifting the fan and at the same time line up the screw hole on the canopy and screw hole on the ceiling plate. And with the right hand insert the ALLEN WRENCH as shown.

Step 2. With the ALLEN WRENCH holding the canopy and fan in place as shown, you will be able to put in the screws with out trying to hold everything by your self.
