5. Fan Assembly. (cont.)
With the hanging bracket secured to the outlet box and
able to support the fan, you are now ready to hang your
fan. Grab the fan firmly with two hands. Slide downrod
through opening in hanging bracket and let hanging
ball rest on the hanging bracket. Turn the hanging ball
slot until it lines up with the hanging bracket tab.
WARNING
: Failure to align slot in hanging ball with tab
in hanging bracket may result in serious injury or death.
Tip
: Seek the help of another person to hold the
stepladder in place and to lift the fan up to you once
you are set on the ladder.
Find a secure attachment point (wood ceiling joist
highly recommended) and secure safety cable. It will be
necessary to use a heavy duty wood screw, washer and
lock washer (not supplied) with the safety cable loop. If
necessary, adjust the loop at the end of the safety cable.
The loop at the end of the safety cable should just fit
over the threads on the wood screw.
Test safety cable by
pulling on loose end with pliers. If the safety cable slips, the
loop must be adjusted tighter.
Extra cable slack can be
left in ceiling area.
