5. Fan Assembly. (cont.)
Thread safety cable and wires through hanging
ball; then, slide hanging ball over downrod--the
top of the downrod should be noted as having a
set screw hole; use this hole when setting the set
screw. Insert stop pin into top of downrod and
raise hanging ball. Be sure stop pin aligns with
slots on the inside of the hanging ball. Tighten set
screw securely. [Refer to diagram 4.]
WARNING: Failure to tighten set screw (on
hanging ball) completely could result in the fan
becoming loose and possibly falling.
Remove electrical tape from electrical wiring and
thread each of the wires through a different hole
in the weatherproof hanging ball cover. Pull the
weatherproof hanging ball cover down securely
over hanging ball (on downrod). [Refer to
diagram 4.]
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. [Refer to
diagram 5.]
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. [Refer to
diagram 5.] 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 of cable with pliers. If the safety
cable slips, the loop must be adjusted tighter.
Extra cable slack can be left in ceiling area.
