OPTIONAL GUY WIRE KIT (6016307)
NOTE:
Guy wires are required on all fan installations where the down
tube is greater than 4' in length. Guy wires are designed to
constrain lateral movement of the fan while in operation.
This movement may be due to impacts on the fan or winds
impinging on the blades that would cause the fan to sway.
Failure to attach guy wires may result in loss of warranty.
Ensure that the proper guy wire length is accompanying
the extension used. Ensure that the angle formed by the
guy wire with the roof structure is less than 45 degrees.
See Fig 17. Avoid any sharp edges or corners to reduce
fatiguing and fraying of the guy wires. Failure to attach
guy wires may result in severe injury or death.
1. Remove parts from package and inventory. Package
contents include: 4 cables, 4 gripple cable clamps, 2
5/16-18 x 1" serrated flanged hex nuts, 2 guywire clamp
brackets and 1 Gripple release tool.
2. Locate the down tube clamp bracket on the down tube. The
clamp bracket should be located approximately halfway
between the mounting bracket and the motor assembly.
3. Fasten the halves of the down tube clamp bracket with
the 5/16" dia x 1" carriage bolts supplied. Torque to 12-17
ft-lbs.
4. Attach each cable to the building structure by either looping
the cable through the cable eyelet and around a beam/
truss or other secure building structure (preferred method)
or by using 3/8" dia. grade 5 fasteners and lock-washers
(not provided) to secure to structure. Tighten fasteners
to 20-28 ft-lbs.
5. On each cable assembly, slide one Gripple cable clamp
approximately 12" on the cable. See Fig 17.
6. Loop one cable assembly through each lug on the down
tube clamp bracket using the free end of the cable.
7. Thread the free end of each cable assembly back through
the Gripple cable clamp. Leave loose.
