INSTALLATION MANUAL
GOMERA
IMH-105 v.01
All electrical work should only be undertaken after disconnection of the power by removing fuses or turning off.
Your fan is a drop rod fan in this situation the drop rod assembly is used to lower the fan down from it’s mounting position
slightly. Extension rods, ranging from 30,5 cm (12”) to 183 cm (72”), are available if you need to lower your fan further. (This
is normally the case rooms with very high ceilings.)
INSTALLING THE FAN
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.
HANGER BRACKET INSTALLATION
1
Put the drop rod pass the electrical supply leads
from the top of the motor through the drop rod
until they exit at the top of the rod.
Insert the drop rod into the drop rod boss on
top of the motor casing. Turn gently to align the
holes in the boss with those in the rod. Ease
the bolt pin through the boss and the rod taking
care not to pinch or damage any cables. Fix in
place by replacing the R-pin.
INSTALLING CANOPY AND DROP ROD ONTO THE FAN

Tighten all set screws at this point. This prevents the rod and the fan
moving in relation to one and other. It also assists in maintaining a good
earth
continuity through the fan, which is important to the safety of the unit.
Failure to tighten the locking screws down may cause the motor to
oscillate badly
The above steps are all finished, put the hanger ball onto the drop rod,
inserted the BALL PIN into drop rod, lift up the hanger ball. Then, screw
them down firmly
