Installing Turnbuckles and Guy Cables
NOTE
: Guy cables are intended to provide stability to the fan system during
operation and as seismic restraints. Guy cables must be installed as per the
instructions in this manual; failure to do so may result in damage or injury and will
void the product warranty.
4.1 Connect 2 x tonne rated shackles with the turnbuckles to the holes on square
block on the motor. If there is little clearance between shackles and blades, you
can swap the shackles for wire rope and wire thimbles as per 4.2
4.2 Making the Guy Cable Loop-1: Prepare Guy Wire Loop-1 at one of the guy cable
using a Wire Thimble and three Wire Rope Clips. Install the first wire rope clip
adjacent to the wire thimble followed by the second and third wire rope clips at
7.5cm - 9cm apart from each other. Dead end of the guy cable should not extend
more than 5cm out from the third wire rope clip. Be sure that all the wire rope
clips are tightened properly and installed correctly.
