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 the “J” hook
(included) with the safety cable loop.
Replace vice on safety cable and adjust safety
cable length by pulling on the cable. Adjust
slack in cable to a hands length and secure vice
by tightening screw and nut securely. The loop
at the end of the safety cable should just fit
over the “J” hook. [
Refer to drawing at right.

Test safety cable by pulling on loose end with
pliers. If the safety cable slips, the screw and nut
on the vice must be set tighter.
