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