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 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. Adjust
safety cable length by loosening screw and nut
on safety cable vice. Adjust slack to a hand's
length and tighten nut on vice securely. 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 with pliers.
If
cable slips, then vice and nut must be set
tighter. Extra cable slack can be left in ceiling
area.
Remove electrical tape from electrical wiring and
thread each of the wires through a different hole
in the weatherproof hanging ball cover. Pull
weatherproof hanging ball cover down securely
over hanging ball (on downrod). [
