MOUNTING OPTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or
personal injury, mount to outlet box marked "acceptable
for fan support of 35 lbs. (15.9 Kg) 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 35 lbs.). Do not use a plastic
outlet box.
The illustrations below show three 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. The maximum angle allowable is 30° away from
horizontal.
If the canopy touches the downrod, then remove the decorative canopy
bottom cover, and turn the canopy 180° before attaching the canopy to
the mounting plate.
To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist,
you may need an installation hanger bar as shown above.
