MOUNTING OPTIONS

If there isn’t an existing UL listed 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). Do not use plastic outlet boxes.

Figures 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. (Fig. 3) To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist,

you may need an installation hanger bar as shown in Figure 4.
