Installation Preparation; Hanging Bracket Installation - Ellington COL72BP6 Installation Manual

3. Installation Preparation.

To prevent personal injury and damage, ensure
that the hanging location allows the blades a
clearance of 10 feet (3.05m) from the floor and
30in. (76cm) from any wall or obstruction.
This fan is suitable for room sizes up to 400
square feet (37.2 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).
Other installation, such as flushmount, is not
available for this fan.
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: WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
personal injury, mount to outlet box marked "Acceptable for Fan
Support of 22.68 kg (50lbs.) or Less" and use mounting screws
provided with the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for
the support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support
and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in
doubt. 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 it 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 and that a ground wire
(GREEN or bare) is present.
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.
