Thread safety cable and wires through hanging
ball and then slide hanging ball over downrod--the
top of the downrod should be noted as having a
set screw hole; use this hole when setting the set
screw. Insert stop pin into top of downrod and raise
hanging ball. Be sure stop pin aligns with slots on
the inside of the hanging ball. Tighten set screw
securely.

WARNING
: Failure to tighten set screw (on hanging
ball) completely could result in the fan becoming
loose and possibly falling.
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. [
Refer to
diagram 5
.
]
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.
