4 • Securing Fan to Secondary Support System
4-1. Find the looped end of the braided cable and insert it through the ceiling plate and one of the holes in the outlet box into the ceiling.
4-2. Access the support brace in the ceiling. You may not be able to do this from below the ceiling depending on your installation site.
4-3. Drive a wood screw and washer into the side of the brace that holds the outlet box. Leave 3mm (1/8”) of space between the support brace and the washer.
4-4. Wrap the braided cable around the support brace once creating a complete circle.
4-5. Hook the looped end of the cable over the wood screw so that the
braided cable lies between the washer and the support brace.
4-6. Tighten the loop and secure the screw and washer all the way down to the support brace.
4-7. Coil up the excess cable.
4-8. Return to the fan so you can complete the fan wiring.
