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