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 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.
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.
