NOTE
: The important safety precautions and
instructions appearing in the manual are not
meant to cover all possible conditions and
situations that may occur. It must be
understood that common sense and caution
are necessary factors in the installation and
operation of this fan.
With the hanging bracket secured to
the outlet box and able to support the
fan, you are now ready to hang your
fan. Loosen canopy set screw and lower
canopy to expose hanging ball at top of
downrod. Remove plastic from end of
safety cable. Grab the fan firmly with
two hands. Slide downrod through
opening in hanging bracket and let
hanging ball rest on hanging bracket.
Turn hanging ball until slot lines up
with 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.
Adjust safety cable length by loosening
screw and nut on the safety cable vice
and pulling on the cable. Adjust slack in
cable to a hands length and secure vice
by tightening screw and nut securely.
[
Refer to drawing at right.
] 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 screw and nut on the vice must
be set tighter.
Extra cable slack can be left in ceiling
area.
