YELLOW JACKET ®4 Portable Base Oscillator Installation (cont.)The oscillator arm is preset to oscillate a full 60 degrees;however, the angle of oscillation can be adjusted and set to 45°,60°, or 90°. The innermost hole is 90°, the middle hole is 60°,and the outermost hole is 45°.To adjust the angle of oscillation, remove the oscillator enclosurecover by unscrewing the (8) screws. Remove the lock nutfrom the bottom of the crank rod, adjust the rod end, and thenreinstall the nut.9060456. Remove original speed control coverWARNING: Disconnect the fan from power before replacingthe cover!Remove the original cover from the speed control by unscrewing the(4) cover fasteners. Disconnect the wiring to the speed control knob,and then remove the speed knob from the original cover and set itaside.SpeedKnobOn the fan, disconnect all wiring except the yellow, purple, and grayleads to the motor (if present).

If you have any questions, callCustomer Service at 1-877-BIG-FANS.CAUTION: Ensure there is enough slack in the safety cable to accommodate for the oscillating motion!Column MountRoute one end of the safety cable through a Gripple ® , and thenloop the cable around the column and back through the Grippleas shown. Route the cable through the second Gripple, aroundthe fan yoke, and then back through the second Gripple asshown.Note: Ensure the safety cable is secured to the column abovethe Column Mount brackets. Ensure the cable is secured to thefan yoke in the location shown below. If the cable is securedtoo high on the fan yoke, it may slide down the yoke duringoperation.Pull the loose ends of the cable through the Gripples until thecable is drawn tightly around the column and fan yoke. Test thefan to ensure there will be enough slack in the safety cable toaccommodate for the oscillating motion. Secure the loose endsof the cable with the two (2) wire rope clips and torque to4.5 ft·lb (6.1 N·m).Yoke MountWrap the safety cable around the mounting structure, andthen secure it with the shackle as shown below.
