Tools Required
Phillips screwdriver, straight slot screwdriver,
step ladder, and wire cutters.
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.
