DOWNTUBE & MOUNT ASSEMBLY
GUY WIRE ATTACHMENT RING
IMPORTANT: Steel cable clamps are composed of two
parts: the U-bolt and the saddle. Steel cable clamps
must be installed with the U-bolt over the dead-end of
the guy wire and the saddle over the live-end of the guy
wire. Failure to install steel cable clamps in this manner
may result in unsafe operating conditions. Refer to
drawings below for correct orientation.
4. Attach all (4) turnbuckles to the guy wire
attachment ring located on the downtube using (4)
supplied quick links.
5. Pull the dead-end of each guy wire through the
steel cable clamps until taut.
6. Tighten the nuts on the steel cable clamps using a
5/16 in. socket and torque to 24 in∙lbf (2.71 N∙m),
alternating between nuts until reaching proper
torque.
7. Place a level against the downtube and tighten all
(4) turnbuckles by hand in a crisscross pattern until
the guy wires are tight and the fan is level.
NOTE: When leveling the fan, place the level against
the downtube in-between two neighboring guy wires
to simplify the leveling process. The level should also
be moved around the circumference of the downtube
periodically to ensure that the fan is level in all
directions.
8. Cut or organize excess guy wires to ensure that
they do not interfere with fan performance. Make
sure to leave at least 5-1/2 in. of wire between the
dead-end of the guy wire and the first wire rope
clip to ensure proper functioning.

5. Tighten the set screw on each turnbuckle by
twisting the plastic knob at the base of the
turnbuckle.
6. Cut or organize excess guy wires to ensure that
they do not interfere with fan performance.
NOTE: If necessary, the guy wires can be loosened by
twisting the plastic knob at the base of the turnbuckle
until it is loose enough to push the knob inwards and
compress the spring-loaded plunger, allowing the cable
to slide through the turnbuckle.
