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 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. 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.
Extra cable slack can be left in ceiling area.
