4. 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.
5. Cut or organize excess guy wires to ensure that
they do not interfere with fan rotation.
NOTE: If necessary, the guy wires can be loosened by
inserting the long end of a 1/16 in. allen wrench into
either of the pin holes on the No. 4 Gripple connector
and pulling the cable in the opposite direction of the
arrow marked on the Gripple connector.
