B. DROP ROD STYLE INSTALLATION
STEP 1 : HANGER BRACKET INSTALLATION
Secure the hanger bracket to joist with wood screws, rubber and steel washers.
Please make sure it is secured firmly. (See Fig. 6)/page 7.
CAUTION : Be sure that the mounting location can support load of
at 70 kilos. (see Safety Precautions )
STEP 2 : DROP ROD ASSEMBLY
Remove the cotter pin and split pin from the bottom of the drop rod. If a longer
drop rod is going to be used, transfer the ball joint and the earth wire to the
longer rod.
Put the drop rod through the flared end of the canopy and pass the electrical
supply leads from the top of the motor through the drop rod until they exit at the
top of the ball joint. Always ensure the rod passes through the canopy before
the rod is connected to the fan. If an extension rod longer than 30 inches is to be
used, the cables will need to be extended in an appropriate way. (SEE FIG. 7)
Loosen the drop rod set screws on the boss, which is on top of the motor and
insert the drop rod into the drop rod boss on top of the motor casing. Turn gently
to align the holes in the boss with those in the rod. Ease the cotter pin through
the boss and the rod taking care not to pinch or damage any cables. Fix in place
by replacing the split pin.

STEP 3 : BLADE ASSEMBLY
led on to the
The blades now need to be assemb
blade carriers. Note that blades can be
installed with either surface facing down.
Carefully unwrap the blades and blade carriers.
Align the bracket with the holes in the blades and
use the screws and fibre washers provided to
connect them.
The fibre washer should go on top the blade
between the head of the screw and the surface
of the blade. Ensure the screws are tightened up
firmly. Repeat this process for all blades.
Put blade carrier with blade on the motor. Using
motor screws to screw it (provided in screws
pack). Please make sure it is tight enough. Be
careful not to bend the blades or the carrier
brackets during installation as this may result in
an imbalance and induce wobble.
If installing more than one fan be careful not to
mix the blade sets. Each set is carefully
manufactured to be evenly balanced, mixing
would break up a balanced set and again this
could induce wobble.
