Installation Preparation; Hanging Bracket Installation - Ellington MXW36ABZ5 Installation Manual

3. Installation Preparation.

To prevent personal injury and damage, ensure that
the hanging location allows the blades a clearance
of 7 feet (2.13 m) from the floor and 30 in (76 cm)
from any wall or obstruction.
This fan is suitable for room sizes up to 144 square
feet (13.4 square meters).
This fan can be mounted with a downrod
on a regular (no-slope) or vaulted ceiling. The
hanging length can be extended by purchasing a
longer downrod (0.5in./1.27cm diameter). After
installing hanging bracket, continue to Section 5 on
page 4 for those instructions. This fan can also be
mounted using flushmount installation only on a
regular (no-slope) ceiling. After installing hanging
bracket, continue to Section 6 on page 5 for those
instructions.
Installation requires these tools:
Phillips screwdriver, flathead screwdriver, adjustable
pliers or wrench, stepladder, wire cutters, and rated
electrical tape.

4. Hanging Bracket Installation.

Turn off circuit breakers to current fixture from breaker
panel and be sure operating light switch is turned to the
OFF position.
WARNING: Failure to disconnect power supply prior to
installation may result in serious injury.
Remove existing fixture.
WARNING: When using an existing outlet box, be sure the
outlet box is securely attached to the building structure and
can support the full weight of the fan. Ensure outlet box is
clearly marked "Suitable for Fan Support." If not, it must be
replaced with an approved outlet box. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury.
CAUTION: Be sure outlet box is grounded properly and that a
ground wire (GREEN or bare) is present.
Partially loosen screws in slotted holes on opposite sides of
canopy. Remove the other 2 screws--save for later use.
Twist canopy to remove hanging bracket from canopy.
Install hanging bracket to outlet box using original screws,
spring washers and flat washers provided with new or
original outlet box.* If installing on a vaulted ceiling, face
opening of hanging bracket towards high point of ceiling.
Arrange electrical wiring around the back of the hanging
bracket and away from the bracket opening.
*Note: It is very important that you use the proper hardware
when installing the hanging bracket as this will support the
fan.
