WARNING
FAN FALL HAZARD
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
• ALWAYS tighten setscrew with pliers.
• DO NOT hand tighten setscrew.
• CHECK the setscrew is tight using pliers
each time you change fan direction.
Remove the pre-installed
setscrew so that the
downrod can be inserted.
Installing the Secondary Hanging System
Hook the looped end of the cable over the
lag bolt so that the cable is between the
plastic washer and the outlet box.
Tighten the loop then tighten the lag bolt using
a hex head ratchet socket wrench. Coil up the
excess cable.

than shown or have a downrod
accessory, consult a qualied
installer and/or electrician.
