3. Instructions for changing to shorter 150mm downrod
Ensure that the mains supply is isolated before proceeding
3.1 Loosen the lower canopy screws and slide the canopy up the downrod.
3.2 Disconnect the Brown (LF), Red (LR) and Blue (N) wires, which run up
the downrod from the lower terminal block located just above fan
motor body.
3.3 Disconnect the Earth (Green/Yellow) wire from the lower mounting
bracket which also runs up inside the downrod.
3.4 Carefully remove the split pin and the downrod securing bolt.
3.5 Loosen the upper canopy screws and slide canopy down the downrod.
3.6 Carefully remove the split pin and downrod securing bolt and then
disconnect the Earth wire.
3.7 Carefully remove the existing downrod passing the disconnected feed
wires throughthe rod along with the safety wire.
3.8 Replace with the 150mm long downrod supplied.
3.9 Pass the feed wires through the new Rod along with the safety wire.
3.10 Replace the upper and lower downrod securing bolts and split pins.
3.11 The feed wires will need to be cut and stripped
to suit the shorter rod and then re-connected
to the lower terminal block Brown (LF), Red (LR)
and Blue (N).
3.12 Re-connect all Earth (Green/Yellow) wires.
3.13 Because the shorter downrod has been
required for our particular installation, it is
recommended that the safety wire is reduced in
length to protrude 75mm above the height of
the 150mm downrod. The loop for the safety
wire will need re-making by using a wire rope
grip or crimp (Supplied by others). It is essential
that the new safety wire loop will withstand
the weight of the fan in the event of it
falling.
Important
All fixings must be tight before operating the fan. It is advisable to check/
inspect all the fixings annually, and re-tighten as nexessary.
This fan is guaranteed for one year from the date of purchase against faulty
material or workmanship. In the event that any part is found to be defective
please contact your local supplier stating the nature of the fault and providing
evidence of the date and source of purchase.
