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.
[Refer to diagram 5.]
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 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.
