5. Fan Assembly.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury,
DO NOT use power tools to assemble the blades. If
screws are overtightened, blades may crack and break.
Locate 4 blade attachment screws/washers in
hardware pack.
Turn blade so that the WIDE, DEEP holes for the blade
screws are turned away from the motor. Raise blade to
motor, aligning holes in blade with corresponding
holes in motor.
Install rubber washer (provided in
hardware pack) between blade and blade plate to
reduce vibration. Now, hold blade plate up to blade,
aligning holes in blade plate with holes in blade as
shown. Insert 2 blade attachment screws/lock washers.
NOTE: Use slot located on motor plate for easy access
to motor screw holes with screwdriver.] Before
securing screws permanently, repeat with remaining
blade arms. Secure all screws. [Refer to diagram 1.]
NOTE: Tighten blade attachment screws twice a year.
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.
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. The loop at the
end of the safety cable should just fit over the "J" hook.
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. Extra cable slack can be left in ceiling area.
[Refer to diagram 2.]
NOTE: The important safety precautions and
instructions appearing in the manual are not meant to

operation of this fan.
