Guy Wire Installation
IMPORTANT:
Guy wires must be installed 45º to 60º
from vertical to ensure proper functioning.
Standard Steel Cable Clamp
Components required from Bag # 916290:
• Guy Wire Clamp Assembly (4)
• Guy Wire Clamp Bolt (4)
• Quick Link (8)
• 20 ft. Guy Wire (4)
• U-Bolt Steel Cable Clamp (8)
• Turnbuckle (4)
Hardware/Tools Needed (Not Included):
• Level
• Torque Wrench
• 7/16 in. Socket and Wrench
• 5/16 in. Socket and Wrench
• Adjustable Wrench
• Cable Cutters (optional)
1. Secure guy wire clamps to the building structure
using the guy wire clamp bolts and an adjustable
wrench. Attach guy wires to the eyelets on the guy
wire clamp assemblies using (4) supplied quick
links.

2. Insert the loose end of each guy wire through the
eyebolt on a turnbuckle. Turn the guy wire back
onto itself and align the loose end of the guy wire
(referred to as the dead-end) with the length of
guy wire that is attached to the building structure
(referred to as the live-end).
3. Attach the dead-end of each guy wire to the live-
end using (2) of the supplied 0.094 in. u-bolt steel
cable clamps. Loosely tighten the nuts on the steel
cable clamps, leaving enough room for the guy
wire to slide through the steel cable clamps.
IMPORTANT:
The first steel cable clamp must be
installed a minimum of 51/2 inches away from the dead-
end of the guy wire to ensure proper functioning.
IMPORTANT:
Steel cable clamps consist of two parts:
the u-bolt and the saddle. Steel cable clamps must be
installed with the u-bolt over the dead-end of the guy
wire and the saddle over the live-end of the guy wire.
Failure to install steel cable clamps in this manner may
result in unsafe operating conditions. Refer to drawing
below for correct orientation.

4. Attach all (4) turnbuckles to the guy wire
attachment ring located on the downtube using
(4) supplied quick links.
5. Pull the dead-end of each guy wire through the
steel cable clamps until taut.
6. Tighten the nuts on the steel cable clamps using a
7/16 in. socket and torque to 54 in∙lbf (6.10 N∙m),
alternating between nuts until reaching proper
torque.
7. Place a level against the downtube and tighten all
(4) turnbuckles by hand in a crisscross pattern until
the guy wires are tight and the fan is level.
NOTE:
When leveling the fan, place the level against
the downtube in-between two neighboring guy wires
to simplify the leveling process. The level should also
be moved around the circumference of the downtube
periodically to ensure that the fan is level in all
directions.
8. Cut or organize excess guy wires to ensure that
they do not interfere with fan performance. Make
sure to leave at least 51/2 inches of wire between
the dead-end of the guy wire and the first wire rope
clip to ensure proper functioning.
