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.
CAUTION
: Due to the size (width) 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.
Find a secure attachment point (wood ceiling joist highly
recommended) and secure safety cable. It will be necessary to
use the “J” hook (in hardware pack) with the safety cable loop.
[
Refer to drawing at right.
]
Adjust slack in cable to a hands length. The loop at the end of
the safety cable should just fit over the “J” hook. If necessary,
adjust the loop at the end of the safety cable.
Test safety cable
by pulling on loose end of safety cable with pliers. If the cable
slips, the loop must be adjusted tighter.
Extra cable slack can be
left in ceiling area.
