INSTALLING GUY WIRES
7.1 Installing the Guy Wires:
IMPORTANT! Disregarding this step will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
The use of four guy wires, with one gripple per wire is required. The angle formed by the guy wire and the ceiling
must be less than 45 degrees from horizontal. Eye bolts (not supplied) are recommended to attach guy wires to the
ceiling or beam.
Gripple Hardware Kit (supplied):
a. (4) 15’ Wire Cables
b. (1) 5’ Wire Cable
c. (5) Gripple Fasteners
It is recommended to use a level to confirm the fan is installed horizontal.
Use caution near sharp corners to avoid wear and/or fraying of the guy wires.
Attach the guy wires to the ceiling or beam (reference Eye Hook illustration on page 23).
1. Slide the unlooped end of the guy wire through the eye hook.
2. Feed the wire through the loop on the other end of the wire.
3. Pull tight so the wire tightens on the eye hook.
Attach each guy wire to the loop on the mid-section of the motor.
1. Slide the gripple fastener (as supplied) over the opposite end of the wire.
2. Feed the end of the guy wire through the guy wire loop on the fan motor and then through the gripple, removing
any slack from the cable.
Over-tightening the guy wires may cause the fan to become unbalanced.
Un serrage excessif des câbles de haubanage peut provoquer le ventilateur à devenir déséquilibré.
Guy wires should be spaced evenly around the fan and remain clear of the fan blade rotation path.
Les haubans espacer uniformément autour du ventilateur et restent dégagées de la voie de rotation de la pale de
ventilateur.
