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 slot until it 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.
Tip
: Seek the help of another person to hold the
stepladder in place and to help lift the fan up to you
once you are set on the ladder.
Replace vice on safety cable and adjust safety cable
length by pulling on the cable. Adjust slack in cable to
a hands length and secure vice by tightening screw
and nut securely. The loop at the end of the safety
cable should just fit over the “J” hook. [
Refer to
drawing at right.
]
Find a secure attachment point (wood ceiling joist
highly recommended) and secure safety cable. It will be
necessary to use the “J” hook (included) with the safety
cable loop.
Test safety cable by pulling on loose end with
pliers. If the safety cable slips, the screw and nut on the
vice must be set tighter.
