Installing the fan
All electrical work should only be undertaken after disconnection of the power by removing fuses
or turning off the circuit breaker to ensure all poles isolation of the electrical supply.
Your fan is a drop rod style of fan (Picture A) In this situation the drop rod assembly is used to
lower the fan down from it’s mounting position slightly. Extension rods, ranging from 12” to 72”,
are available if you need to lower your fan further. (This is normally the case in conservatories or
rooms with very high ceilings.)
Picture A
The following steps will guide you to a successful installation:
1. Hanger bracket installation
2. Drop rod assembly
3. Remote control and Wiring instruction
4. Assembly
of
the blades
1. Hanger bracket installation
The hanger bracket should be screwed on to a firm
flat surface. The fixing location must be able to
withstand ten times the static weight of the fan. If you
have any doubts as to the ability of your intended
fixing location to be able to withstand this loading.
Please contact our service help-line or another
competent authority to advise you. In most situation
two wood screws screwed into a wooden joist is
more than adequate to support your ceiling fan.
The hanger bracket should be screwed onto the joist
with the two wood screws provided. The washers
provided should go in the following sequence
:
Screw head > round washer > spring washer>Hanger bracket > Ceiling. Screw the hanger
bracket to the ceiling and make sure all connections are secure to prevent the fan from falling.
Fixings must screw into a joist and not just the plasterboard. Loosen the two canopy screws
from the hanger bracket.
