5. Fan Assembly. (cont.)
With the hanging bracket secured to the outlet
box and able to support the fan, you are now
ready to hang your fan. Grab the fan firmly with
two hands. Slide downrod through opening in
hanging bracket and let hanging ball rest on
the hanging bracket. Turn the hanging ball until
slot lines up with the hanging bracket tab.
WARNING
: Failure to align slot in hanging ball
with tab in hanging bracket may result in
serious injury or death.
IMPORTANT:
Due to the size (width) of this fan,
it is advisable to seek the help of another
person to hold the stepladder in place and to
then help 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. If necessary, adjust
the loop at the end of the safety cable. 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 safety cable with pliers.
If the safety cable slips, the loop must be adjusted
smaller.
Extra cable slack can be left in ceiling
area.
