Assembly Instructions
Note: There are many acceptable methods for installing a Patterson Column/Wall Mounted w/ Oscillator Fan. The most important
things to remember are that the wall mount should be solid feeling and that if the fan is at a level near peoples hands, etc. it
should be equipped with OSHA Approved Finger Guards. OSHA Approved Finger guards are available through Patterson Fan
Co., Inc. Please contact your factory sales representative to order.
1. Secure the Wall Bracket to the solid surface from which you plan to hang the fan. The Wall Bracket must be mounted wide side
up. Attach Part A to the wall first. Position Part B so that it forces Part A to be level. Attach Part B.
2. Attach the Oscillator Assembly to the Wall Bracket as shown in the diagram. Use the Long Bolt & Nut supplied. Tighten.
3. Attach the (2) Pillow Block Bearings to the “U” Shaped Yoke. Use the supplied hardware. Make snug, overtightening may cause
bearings to crack.
4. Secure the “U” Shaped Yoke to the Oscillator Assembly. Use the Bolt & Nut provided. Tighten the nut on the bolt using the 5/16”
Box End Wrench and Ratchet with 5/16” Socket and Extension. The “U” Shaped Yoke must open up.
5. Attach the Oscillator Linkages to the “U” Shaped Yoke. The accepting hole is on the bottom edge, off center.
6. The Factory Assembled Fan Head fits inside of the “U” Shaped Yoke, the threaded studs on each side of the fan fit through the
predrilled holes on the “U” Shaped Yoke. Secure the Factory Assembled Fan Head to the “U” Shaped Yoke” with the supplied
Nuts. Mount the Factory Assembled Fan Head so that the motor mount is below the motor.
Single Phase Motors The Factory Assembled Fan Head is equipped with a 12-foot long cord and connector. To turn on the fan,
plug it in; to turn off the fan, unplug it.
Three Phase Motors A cord and connector is not supplied with Three Phase Motors. Fans with these motors will need to be fitted
with an appropriate cord and connector or hard wired directly to a power source. If the fan is supplied with
finger guards, the rear finger guard will need to be partially removed to access the motors internal wiring.
Remove all but one of the self-tapping screws and place them in a safe place, you will use them again.
Rotate the guards around on the single self-tapping screw. Wire the fan, replace the guard using the saved
self-tapping screws.
When looking at the front of the fan, the blade should be turning clockwise. If it does not, the electrical
connection wires may need to be reversed. If reversing the wires does not fix the problem, please contact
you factory sales representative.
