INSTALLATION
This model is manufactured with a cord and a molded
three prong electrical plug, which can be installed
directly into an electrical outlet.
NOTE: For installation to open web steel joist,
use the threaded J hook as supplied. For wood
joist construction, use J hook with lag threads
(not included). For attachment in concrete,
drill concrete anchors into the concrete, as
applicable to NEC, CEC and local regulation.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal
injury, do not bend the blade brackets when
installing the brackets, balancing the blades or
cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects
in between rotating fan blades.
1. Prior to installation, ensure all pre-installed set screws,
cotter pins and locknuts are tight and secure.
2. Slide lower canopy (2) down to the rubber gasket to
create a tight seal. Tighten set screw.
3. Wind one nut down to bottom of J hook (3) towards
the curve. Add a lock washer and then flat washer
on top of the nut.
WARNING! Make certain crimps on safety loop
are secure (See Figure 1). Make certain safety
cable is attached properly to hook or structural
member. Failure to comply with instructions
could result in personal injury and/or property
damage.
4. Drill a 5/32" pilot hole for safety hook (See Figure 1)
within a 12" radius of J hook (3) for fan. Wind one
nut down to bottom of safety hook towards the loop.
Add a lock washer and slide safety hook through
pilot hole. Slide lock washer on top side of the safety
hook and add nut. Tighten so lock washers on top
and bottom of the structure are secure.
5. Drill a 1/2" pilot hole for J hook. Put J hook (3) through
pilot hole in joist. Add flat washer and then lock
washer and nut. Do not tighten completely until fan
is put in place on J hook.
NOTE: A lubricant should not be used on the
single mounting screw. Pilot hole should be
drilled no larger than the minor diameter of the
mounting screw threaded. At least 1⁄" (38mm)
of the threaded part of the mounting screw
should be secured into a structural joist to
provide secure mounting.
IMPORTANT! If a shorter downrod is required,
read steps on page 3.
6. Loosen set screw on upper canopy (4) on fan
downrod (1) and lower the canopy to make room to
place rubber grommet onto mounting J hook.
7. Tighten top nut on J hook to raise fan into proper
installation position.
WARNING! When installed properly, the blades
will hang 10' above the floor level. It is critical
that the J hook and nut adjustment are done
so that the blades will be a minimum 12" from
the ceiling. If your ceiling is less than 12', then
the hook and downrod must be recessed into
the ceiling so that the blades are mounted 10'
above the floor level to meet OSHA standards.
8. Raise upper canopy (4) up the downrod to cover
hook. Leave 1/8" gap between upper canopy (4)
and hanging surface so downrod does not move
off center, which could make fan wobble or vibrate
and transmit motor noise to ceiling surface. Tighten
set screw on upper canopy (4).
9. Attach blades (5) to motor housing (7) with blade
bolts already installed in motor housing. The blade
should be positioned below the blade arm bracket
when attaching to the motor to get proper air flow
and direction. (See Figure 2)
