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.
