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.
