in Fig. 4.1.
Option 2: Use machine screws (provided with outlet box) and washers to attach the mounting plate to an existing ceiling fan-rated outlet box. If the mounting plate is installed at the outlet box, it should be installed on the outlet box with the screws that came with your outlet box. Pull the supply wires (the black, white, and ground wires) out of the outlet box and through the hole in the mounting plate, then set them aside.
WARNING: DO NOT use a plastic outlet box. Use only U.L. listed outlet boxes marked
”Acceptable for Fan Support of 15.9 kg (35 lbs) or less”.

Hang the Fan
Carefully lift the fan-motor assembly and hang it using the hook of the mounting plate. Securely suspend the motor assembly by using one of the round holes at the outer rim of the motor housing as shown in Fig. 5.1.

Installation: Safety Rope
There are multiple methods to install the safety rope; here are two options for your reference.

Option 1: Refer to Fig. 5.2. Hang the safety rope on the ceiling hook (not included). Using a screwdriver, loosen the screw on the safety rope lock. Pull the safety rope taut and then tighten the screw on the safety rope lock to ensure a firm and secure connection between the safety rope and the ceiling hook. Always double-check to ensure the safety rope is taut.

Option 2: Refer to Fig. 5.3. Thread a screw, accompanied by a washer (both not included), through the center of the safety rope. Fasten the screw to the ceiling and then loosen the screw on the safety rope lock using a screwdriver. Pull the safety rope taut and then tighten the screw on the safety rope lock to securely anchor the safety rope to the fixed screw on the ceiling. Always double­check to ensure the safety rope is taut.

Note: Installing the ceiling fan with a safety rope is an extra safety feature. It secures the fan to the ceiling hook or other attachment point and prevents the fan from falling even in the case of material failure.
When the safety rope is fixed and installed, it is important to adjust both the length of the wire rope and the screw on the safety rope lock to ensure a secure and tight connection with the fixed object. This step is crucial to prevent the safety rope from accidentally coming off. Improper installation of the safety rope may compromise its effectiveness and lead to potential safety risks. Therefore, it is essential to make sure the safety rope is properly tightened and secured for maximum safety.
