Installing Guy Wires
WARNING: Disconnect power to the fan before installing the guy wires.
AVERTISSEMENT : Mettre le ventilateur hors tension avant d’installer les câbles de retenue.
Guy wires may not be included in your fan order. They are intended to constrain the fan’s lateral movement and are
only included with all fans that have extension tubes 4 ft (1.2 m) or greater in length. Depending on the conditions at the
installation site, guy wires may be needed for fans with shorter tubes to prevent any lateral movement. If guy wires are
needed and were not included with your fan order, contact Big Ass Fans Customer Service at 1-877-BIG-FANS.
