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 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. 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.
Thread safety cable and wires through hanging ball;
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. [

Remove electrical tape from electrical wiring and
thread each of the wires through a different hole in the

cable with the green (ground) wire. Pull weatherproof
hanging ball cover down securely over hanging ball (on
downrod). [
