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 then turn downrod so that the straight
edges of the top of downrod align with the sides of
the hanging bracket and the set crew holes align
with the hanging bracket set crew holes. Pull down
firmly on the downrod until it sits securely inside
the hanging bracket. Attach hanging bracket to the
top of downrod by inserting set screws previously
removed into set screw holes on hanging bracket.
Tighten both screws securely.
IMPORTANT
: Due to the size (weight) of this fan, it
is advisable to seek the help of another person to
hold the stepladder in place and to then help lift
the fan up to you once you are set on the ladder.
WARNING
: Failure to align straight edges of the
top of downrod with sides of hanging bracket may
result in serious injury or death.
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 of safety cable with pliers. If the safety cable slips,
the loop must be adjusted smaller.
Extra cable slack
can be left in ceiling area.
