  2.  Insert the loose end of each guy wire into a No. 4 

Gripple connector until a length of wire is pushed 
through the connector. Insert the loose end of the 
guy wire through the end of the turnbuckle and 
push back through the No. 4 Gripple connector to 
close the loop. 

  3.  Attach all (4) turnbuckles to the guy wire 

attachment ring located on the downtube using  
(4) supplied quick links. Pull the loose end of each 
guy wire through the No. 4 Gripple connector until 
each guy wire is taut.

  4.  Place a level against the downtube and tighten all 

(4) turnbuckles by hand in a crisscross pattern until 
the guy wires are tight and the fan is level.

NOTE: 

When leveling the fan, place the level against 

the downtube in-between two neighboring guy wires 
to simplify the leveling process. The level should also 
be moved around the circumference of the downtube 
periodically to ensure that the fan is level in all 
directions. 
  5.  Cut or organize excess guy wires to ensure that 

they do not interfere with fan rotation.

NOTE: 

If necessary, the guy wires can be loosened by 

inserting the long end of a 1/16 in. allen wrench into 
either of the pin holes on the No. 4 Gripple connector 
and pulling the cable in the opposite direction of the 
arrow marked on the Gripple connector.

Airfoil Blade and Winglet Installation

IMPORTANT: 

Do not operate fans without the airfoil 

blades. Failure to comply with this warning will result 
in voiding of the product warranty and may result in 
permanent damage to the VFD and motor.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend 
motor struts, airfoil blades, or airfoil retaining links 
when installing the airfoil blades, balancing the blades, 
or cleaning the fan. Damage to these components may 
result in unsafe operation of the fan, which can lead 
to property damage, personal injury or death. Contact 
your local representative or the factory if replacement 
parts are needed.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not insert 
foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.

AVERTISSEMENT

Pour réduire le risque de blessure, ne pliez pas les 
entretoises moteurs, ailerons ou aile en conservant 
des liens lors de l’installation des aubes, équilibrez, 
ou nettoyer le ventilateur. Ces composants peuvent 
endommager en utilisation dangereuse du ventilateur, 
qui peut conduire à des dommages matériels, des 
blessures ou la mort. Ces composants peuvent 
endommager en utilisation dangereuse du ventilateur, 
qui peut conduire à des dommages matériels, des 
blessures ou la mort.
