6. Blade Assembly.
Time Saver: Washers for blade screws can be
set on each blade screw prior to installing
blades.
Locate 12 blade attachment screws and
washers in one of the hardware packs. Slide
blade through one of the narrow, rectangular
openings on motor housing, aligning holes
in blade with holes in blade arm, located
inside the rectangular opening on the motor
housing. [PLEASE NOTE: Blade screws and
washers will be installed from top side of
blade--refer to drawing at right.] Insert 3
blade attachment screws (along with
washers) with fingers first and then tighten
screws securely with a Phillips screwdriver.
Repeat procedure for each remaining blade.
NOTE: Tighten blade arm screws twice a year.
7. Preparation for Wiring.
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. Test
safety cable by pulling with pliers on loose end of
cable. If the safety cable slips, the loop must be
adjusted smaller. Extra cable slack can be left in
ceiling area.
