installing on a steep, sloped ceiling. (Fig. 3)
To hang your fan where there is an existing
fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need a
joist hanging bracket as shown in Fig 4.

ceiling outlet box using screws and washers
provided with the outlet box. (Fig. 6)

pin and remove it from downrod assembly.
Loosen the set screw and rotate the hanger
ball off the downrod. (Fig. 7)
