Installing Your Fan - HAMPTON BAY 180-471 Manual

Tools Required
Phillips screw driver; slotted screw driver; step-
ladder; wire cutters; electrical tape.
Mounting Options
If there isn't an existing 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.). Use a UL Listed metal outlet box.
Do not use a plastic outlet box.
Figure 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. Longer downrods are available from
your Hampton Bay dealer.
To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture
but no ceiling joist, you may need to install a hanger
bar as shown in Fig. 4 (available at your Hampton
Bay dealer).
