Safety cable (customer-supplied) installation
ATTENTION: Do not connect any safety cable or chain to the fan housing on either end of the fan. Do not
connect any safety cable or chain to an area near the blades where it could become entangled.
With every installation in which the fan is mounted above the floor, a safety cable or chain should be securely
connected between the fan and the mounting structure to limit how far the fan could fall if the mounting hardware
becomes loose� This safety feature should be installed by the user to prevent property damage, severe personal
injury, death, and to comply with local codes. The cable or chain should not be any longer than needed to operate
the fan properly and it should be strong enough to support a minimum of two (2) times the total weight of the fan
assembly�
