NOTE
: The important safety precautions and
instructions appearing in the manual are not
meant to cover all possible conditions and
situations that may occur. It must be understood
that common sense and caution are necessary
factors in the installation and operation of this fan.
With the hanging bracket secured to
the outlet box and able to support
the fan, you are now ready to hang
your fan. Loosen canopy set screw
and lower canopy to expose hanging
ball at top of downrod. Remove
plastic from end of safety cable. Grab
the fan firmly with two hands. Slide
downrod through opening in
hanging bracket and let hanging ball
rest on hanging bracket. Turn
hanging ball until slot lines up with
hanging bracket tab.
WARNING
: Failure to align slot in
hanging ball with tab in hanging
bracket may result in serious injury or
death.
Tip
: Seek the help of another person
to hold the stepladder in place and to
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 a
heavy duty wood screw, washer
and lock washer (not supplied) with
the safety cable loop.
Adjust safety cable length by
loosening screw and nut on the
safety cable vice and pulling on the
cable. Adjust slack in cable to a hands
length and secure vice by tightening
screw and nut securely. [
Refer to
drawing at right.
] The loop at the
end of the safety cable should just fit
over the threads on the wood screw.
Test safety cable by pulling on loose
end of cable with pliers. If the safety
cable slips, the screw and nut on the
vice must be set tighter.
Extra cable slack can be left in ceiling
area.
