tighten the hardware so that it is snug, but not fully tightened.
Extension Tube Hardware (BAF-Supplied):

Shackle
I-Beam mount
Secure the safety cable by wrapping it
around the I-beam and connecting the
looped ends with the shackle as shown.
The cable must be drawn tightly around
the I-beam, leaving as little slack as
possible. If possible, the shackle should
be on the topside of the I-beam. Securely
tighten the shackle.
Proceed to step 3.
Angle iron mount
(with extension tube)
Secure the safety cable by wrapping it
around the angle irons and connecting the
looped ends with the shackle as shown.
The cable must be drawn tightly around
the angle irons, leaving as little slack as
possible. The shackle should be on the
topside of the angle irons if possible.
Securely tighten the shackle.
Proceed to step 3.
Angle iron mount
(no extension tube)
Route the cable through the motor frame
and around the angle irons as shown.

the shackle. The cable must be drawn
tightly around the angle irons, leaving
as little slack as possible. The shackle
should be on the topside of the angle iron

The safety cable is a crucial part of the fan and must be installed correctly. If you have questions, call Customer
