MOUNTING OPTIONS MOUNTING OPTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
personal injury, mount the fan to outlet box (OO) marked
acceptable for fan support using the screws provided with the
outlet box (OO). An outlet box (OO) commonly used for the
support of lighting fixtures may not be acceptable for fan
support and may need to be replaced. If in doubt, consult a
qualified electrician.
If your ceiling fan does not have an existing UL-listed
mounting box, then install one using the following
instructions:
□
Disconnect the power by removing the fuses or
turning off the circuit breakers.
□
Secure the outlet box (OO) directly to the building
structure. Use appropriate fasteners and materials.
The outlet box and its bracing must be able to fully
support the weight of the moving fan (at least 35
lbs.). Do not use a plastic outlet box.
The illustrations below show three different ways to
mount the outlet box (OO).

NOTE: You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper
blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling.
The maximum angle allowable is 18° away from horizontal. If
the canopy touches the downrod, then remove the decorative
canopy bottom cover and turn the canopy 180° before
attaching the canopy to the mounting plate.
RR
To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no
ceiling joist, you may need an installation hanger bar (RR)
as shown above (available at any Home Depot store).
