7. Fan Installation.
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.
Find a secure attachment point, wood ceiling
joist (2in. x 4in. or larger) highly recommended,
and secure safety cable. Use a #10 heavy duty
2.5in. wood screw and #10 flat washer (both
sold separately) to secure safety cable loop. If
necessary, adjust the loop at the end of the safety
cable. The loop 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 loop must be adjusted smaller.
Extra cable slack can be left in ceiling area.
Locate 6 blade attachment screws/washers in
blade plate (on top of motor housing). Notice the
3 slots near edge of the blade plate.
WARNING
: To reduce the risk of serious bodily
injury,
DO NOT use power tools to assemble the
blades. If screws are overtightened, blades may
crack and break.
Remove the screw located on either side of one
of the slots on the blade plate. [
NOTE
: Leave the
other 4 screws intact for the moment.] Lift blade
plate and slide 1 blade
BETWEEN
motor and blade
plate, making sure to align holes in blade with
corresponding holes in top of motor and holes in
blade plate--
refer to drawing at right
. Using just
your fingers for now, re-insert 2 blade screws/
washers to hold blade in place--
DO NOT tighten
screws at this time
. Repeat with the other
2 blades, installing one at a time.
Once all 3 blades have been attached as
described above,
partially tighten each one
of
the blade screws with a Phillips screwdriver. After
that, securely tighten all 6 screws.
IMPORTANT
: Be sure to partially tighten ALL SIX
screws
before
completely tightening any blade
screws or the blades will not fit properly.
