Mounting Options - Modern Forms AXIS Installation Instructions Manual

5. MOUNTING OPTIONS

If there isn't an existing UL/cUL listed 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 35 lbs). Do not use plastic outlet boxes.
Figures 1, 2 and 3 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. (Fig. 3)
To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist,
you may need an installation hanger bar as shown in (Fig. 4)
