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.]
Lower yoke cover to motor housing.
Remove electrical tape from electrical wiring and
thread each of the wires through a different hole in the
weatherproof hanging ball cover. Thread the safety
cable with the green (ground) wire. Pull weatherproof
hanging ball cover down securely over hanging ball (on
downrod). [Refer to diagram 4.]
WARNING: Failure to tighten set screw on hanging ball
completely could result in the fan becoming loose and
possibly falling.
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 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 on loose end
with pliers. If the safety cable slips, the loop must be
adjusted tighter. Extra cable slack can be left in
ceiling area.
