Secure safety cable
Some local safety codes require the safety cable to be secured directly to an
existing part of the building structure (Canada, Singapore). It may be
necessary to install additional structural material to provide attachment
points. Check your local safety code if you are unsure.
Mounting Bracket
Loop safety cable around the mounting bracket and secure with a shackle (Fig.
11a).
Anchor Hook
Loop safety cable around anchor hook and secure with shackle (Fig. 11b).
Building Structure
Loop safety cable around building structure and secure with shackle (Fig.
11c). Acceptable building structures include a wooden beam or a metal mounting
brace secured between two beams. In some cases, it may be necessary to install
additional structural material to provide attachment points.
Install fan stabilizer
The fan stabilizer is required for outdoor installations and is for use on
flat ceilings only.
Insert the two halves of the fan stabilizer between the bottom of the control box tray and the top of the mounting ball (Fig. 12).
