4. Route guy wire through Gripple

Route the guy wire through the Gripple and the carabiner on the guy wire clamp, and then back through the Gripple as shown below.
Do not tighten the Gripple until the remaining guy wires have been installed.
Note: To back the guy wire out of the Gripple, insert 1/16" (1.55 mm) Allen wrench into the small hole on the Gripple.

5. Install three remaining guy wires

CAUTION: The guy wires should be spaced evenly around the fan.
CAUTION: Over-tightening the guy wires could throw the fan off balance.
Repeat steps 3–4 to install the three remaining guy wires.
Evenly cinch all four guy wires into place using the Gripples. The guy wires should be
taut, evenly spaced around the fan, and away from the path of the airfoils. Maintain a
distance of 6"–8" between the Gripple and the carabiner.
Once all of the guy wires are taut, secure their loose ends with the wire rope clips and
torque to 4.5 ft·lb (6.1 N·m). Ensure all electrical cords/cables are unobstructed by the
guy wire system.
