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 help 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. Adjust safety cable
length by loosening screw and nut on safety cable vice.
Adjust slack to a hand's length and tighten nut on vice
securely. 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 cable slips, then vice and
nut must be set tighter. Extra cable slack can be left in
ceiling area.
