WARNING
!
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal
injury, mount fan to outlet box marked "Acceptable
for Fan Support", and use screws supplied with
outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for
support of light fixtures are not acceptable for fan
support and may need to be replaced. Consult a
qualified electrician if in doubt.
1. Securely attach the hanger bracket to the outlet
box using the two screws supplied with the outlet
box. (Figure 9.)

Hanger bracket must seat firmly against outlet box. If
the outlet box is recessed, remove wall board until
bracket contacts box. If bracket and/or outlet box are
not securely attached, the fan could wobble or fall.

downrod assembly on the hanger bracket that was
just attached to the outlet box (Figure 10). Be sure
the groove in the ball is lined up with tab on the
hanger bracket (Figure 9).
WARNING

Failure to seat tab in groove could cause damage to
electrical wires and possible shock or fire hazard.

To avoid possible fire or shock, do not pinch wires
between the hanger ball/downrod assembly and

If you feel that you do not have enough electrical
wiring knowledge or experience, have your fan
installed by a licensed electrician.
To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity
is turned off at the main fuse box before wiring.
NOTE: If you are not sure if the outlet box is
grounded, contact a licensed electrician for advice,
as it must be grounded for safe operation.
