YM Yoke Mount Assembly Instructions
Note: There are many acceptable methods
for hanging a Patterson Yoke Mount fan. The
most important things to remember are that
the yoke must be securely connected to a
solid structure and that all materials used to
hang the yoke and fan must be rated for this
type of rigging and workload. Below is what
we consider to be the simplest method of fan
suspension. Feel free to improvise, but please
use caution and good judgment.
1. Secure the “U” Shaped Yoke to the
object from which you intend to mount
the fan. Use a 5/8” bolt, a 5/8” nut and
(2) 5/8” washers. Tighten the nut onto the
bolt using a 5/16” bolt end wrench and
ratchet with 5/16” socket.
2. The factory assembled fan head ts
inside of the “U” shaped yoke, the
threaded studs on each side of the fan
t 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
capacitor is in up position.
3. If safety cable installation is desired (rec-
ommended), use a length of chain or
cable to secure the fan to a solid surface
and attach to the fan. Make sure cable
or chain is rated for the weight and purpose of securing the fan.
