5. Fan Assembly. (cont.)
Tip: To prepare for threading electrical wires
through downrod, apply a small piece of
electrical tape to the ends of the electrical
wires--this will keep the wires together when
threading them through the downrod.
Locate canopy cover in hardware pack. Loosen
yoke set screws and nuts at top of downrod
support and then remove pin and clip from yoke
at top of downrod support. Slide downrod
through canopy, canopy cover and yoke cover.
[Note: Canopy cover must be turned with shiny
side toward the motor.]
Thread electrical wires and safety cable through
downrod and pull extra wire slack from the
upper end of the downrod.
Thread downrod into top of downrod support
until holes for pin and clip in downrod align with
holes in yoke--make sure wires do not get twisted.
Securely tighten yoke set screws and nuts. Lower
yoke cover to downrod support.
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.
