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 50
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.
