MOUNTING OPTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
personal injury, mount to outlet box marked "acceptable
for fan support of 15.9 kg (35 lbs) or less" using the
screws provided with the outlet box. An outlet box
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 directly to the building structure.
Use the appropriate fasteners and materials. The outlet box
and its bracing must be able to fully support the weight
of the moving fan (at least 15.9 kg). Do not use a plastic
outlet box.
The illustrations below show three different ways to mount the
outlet box.
