READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE YOU START
Turn Off Power
Contact a licensed electrician if you are uncomfortable performing electrical work. A licensed electrician must install
the fan if required by local code.
Do not use the fan with a dimmer switch.
Turn off power at breaker!
Prepare Fan Site
Outlet Box: Make sure your outlet box is suitable for fan support. If there is not an outlet box at the fan location, install one on a ceiling joist or beam.
Concrete Ceiling: Install an anchor hook for the safety cable if required by your local building and safety code. See the following page for installation details.
Wood Ceiling Joist: Attach the mounting plate or mounting bracket directly to the joist using two wood screws (not supplied). Big Ass Fans recommends using corrosionresistant 12-11 x 45 mm hex head timber screws with seal.
Gather Tools
Select Extension Tube (Universal Mount Only)
If your fan uses the universal mount, you will need to select the appropriate extension tube for your ceiling height and slope.
See page 4 for a guide to select the most appropriate extension tube.

Drill four Ø 8 mm holes in the pattern shown. The hole depth should not exceed 40 mm. Remove any dust from the holes. Insert four anchor bolts into the holes. Strike the heads of the anchor bolts with a hammer, ensuring the bolt sleeves are flush with the ceiling surface. Position the mounting plate on the anchor bolts. Ensure all four anchor bolts are fully tightened to expand and lock the anchors.
If required by local building and safety codes, install an anchor hook for the safety cable. Drill a Ø 14 mm hole for the anchor hook in the pattern shown. The hole depth should not exceed 50 mm. Remove any dust from the hole, and then insert the anchor hook and fully tighten.
Standard Mount
Drill three Ø 12–12.5 mm holes in the pattern shown. The hole depth should not exceed 35–40 mm. Remove any dust from the holes. Insert three anchor bolts into the holes. Strike the heads of the anchor bolts with a hammer, ensuring the bolt sleeves are flush with the ceiling surface. Position the hanger plate on the anchor bolts. Ensure all three anchor bolts are fully tightened to expand and lock the anchors.
If required by local building and safety codes, install an anchor hook for the safety cable. Drill a
Ø 8–8.5 mm hole for the anchor hook adjacent to the hanger plate. The hole depth should not exceed 35–40 mm. Remove any dust from the hole, and then insert the anchor hook and fully tighten.
Universal Mount
Drill three Ø 6 mm holes in the pattern shown. The hole depth should not exceed 40 mm. Remove any dust from the holes. Insert three anchor bolts into the holes. Strike the heads of the anchor bolts with a hammer, ensuring the bolt sleeves are flush with the ceiling surface. Position the mounting bracket on the anchor bolts. Ensure all three anchor bolts are fully tightened to expand and lock the anchors.
If required by local building and safety codes, install an anchor hook for the safety cable. Drill a Ø 8 mm hole for the anchor hook. The hole depth should not exceed 50 mm. Remove any dust from the hole, and then insert the anchor hook and fully tighten.
