1. After removing everything from the carton, locate
the motor unit (8) and separate the front guard (2)
and back guard (5) if they are connected.
2. Locate the rear guard (5) and align with the four
protruding indents on the motor unit (8). The safety
grill will only fit one way over the protruding indents
with the handle facing up. Insert four locking screws
(4) and tighten to secure the rear guard to the motor
unit.
3. Locate the fan blades (3) and align the centre of the
blades over the metal spindle protruding from the
motor unit. The indent on the metal spindle aligns
with the locking screw on the fan blades. After the
blades have been placed, tighten the locking screw
and ensure that the blades are secured to the motor
unit.
4. Align the front guard to the rear guard and lock
into place with six locking tabs that are located on
the guard. Locate the security nut and bolt (1) and
secure the front and rear guards together. This is a
safety precaution to prevent accidental dismantling
of the fan.
5. Locate the pedestal base (13). Insert the base of
the stand (10) into the pedestal base, then fasten the
base (12,13) and the pole with the screws provided.
6. Undo the thumbscrew at the top of the stand (10)
and align the motor unit complete with guards before
fastening.
