5. Fan Assembly (with downrod). (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 help 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. Extra cable slack can be left in ceiling area.
Replace vice on safety cable and 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 with pliers. If the safety cable slips, the screw
and nut on the vice must be set tighter.
Continue to the "Wiring" section for wiring diagram.
