4. MOUNTING OPTIONS
If there isn't an existing UL 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 Figure 4.
