4. How to Hang Your Ceiling Fan

CAUTION
!
To reduce the risk of injury, install the fan so that the
blades are at least 7 ft. (2.1m) above the floor (Figure 21).
WARNING
!
The outlet box and joist must be securely mounted and
capable of supporting at least 50 lbs. Use only a U.L.
outlet box listed as "Acceptable for Fan Support of
22.7 kg. (50 lbs.) or less".
WARNING
!
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal
injury, mount fan to outlet box marked "Acceptable
for Fan Support of 22.7 kg. (50 lbs.) or less", and
use screws supplied with outlet box. Most outlet
boxes commonly used for support of light fixtures
are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be
replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
4.1
Securely attach the Hanger Bracket to the Outlet
Box using the Two Screws supplied with the Outlet
Box (Figure 22).
WARNING
!
Hanger bracket must seat firmly against outlet box.
If the outlet box is recessed, remove wall board until
bracket contacts box. If bracket and/or outlet box are
not securely attached, the fan could wobble or fall.
4.2
Carefully lift the Fan and seat the Hanger Ball/
Downrod Assembly into the Hanger Bracket that was
just attached to the Outlet Box (Figure 23).
Be sure the Groove in the Ball is lined up with
Anti-Rotation Tab on the Hanger Bracket (Figure 23).
WARNING
!
Failure to seat anti-rotation tab in groove could cause
damage to electrical wires and possible shock or fire
hazard.
WARNING
!
To avoid possible fire or shock, do not pinch wires
between the hanger ball/downrod assembly and
hanger bracket.
