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 the "J" hook (included) with the safety cable loop.
Replace vice on safety cable and adjust safety cable length
by pulling on the cable. Adjust slack in cable to a hands
length and secure vice by tightening screw and nut securely.
The loop at the end of the safety cable should just fit over
the "J" hook. [Refer to drawing at right.] Test safety cable by
pulling with pliers on loose end of the cable. If the safety cable
slips, the screw and nut on the vice must be set tighter. Extra
cable slack can be left in ceiling area.
6. Wiring.
WARNING: Turn off circuit breakers to current fixture
from breaker panel and be sure switch is turned to the
OFF position.
CAUTION: Be sure outlet box is properly grounded and that
a ground (GREEN or Bare) wire is present.
Make sure all electrical connections comply with Local
Codes or Ordinances and the National Electrical Code. If you
are unfamiliar with electrical wiring or if the house/building
wires are different colors than those referred to in the
instructions, please use a qualified electrician.
Note: Excess lead wire length from the fan can be cut to the
desired length and then stripped.
When downrod is secured in place on the hanging
bracket, electrical wiring can be made as follows:
Connect BLACK wire from fan to BLACK wire from
ceiling with wire connector provided.
Connect WHITE wire from fan to WHITE wire from
ceiling with wire connector provided.
Connect all GROUND (GREEN) wires together from fan
to BARE/GREEN wire from ceiling with wire connector
provided.
* Wrap each wire connector separately with electrical
tape as an extra safety measure.
