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 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
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 with pliers on loose end of
cables. If the safety cable slips, the loop must be adjusted
smaller.
Extra cable slack can be left in ceiling area.
