Installing The Fan - Aire Magnitude 34348 Instruction Manual Warranty Certificate

INSTALLING THE FAN

Tools Required: Phillips screw driver; slotted screw driver; step-ladder; wire cutters; electrical tape.
MOUNTING OPTIONS
If there isn't an existing mounting box, then read the following instructions. Disconnect the power by removing fuses or
turning off circuit breakers.
Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. Use appropriate fasteners and building materials. The outlet box
and its support must be able to fully support the moving weight of the fan (at least 50 lbs.). Use a UL Listed metal outlet
box. Do not use a plastic outlet box.
Figure 3, 4 and 5 are examples of different ways to mount the outlet box.
Note: You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling.
Longer downrods are available from your Aire dealer.
To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need to install a hanger bar as shown in
Fig. 6 (available at your Aire dealer).
