BEFORE YOU START
☑ Turn Off Power at Breaker
Contact an electrician if you are uncomfortable
performing electrical work. A licensed electrician
must install the fan if required by local code.
☑ Prepare Fan Site and Gather Hardware
CAUTION
Do not use the fan with a dimmer switch.
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. You will need
to supply two 10-32 screws for attaching the fan mounting bracket or plate to the
outlet box.
Concrete Ceiling:
Depending on your mount type, you will need to supply three
or four anchor bolts for attaching the fan mounting bracket or plate to the ceiling.
If required by your local building and safety codes, you will also need to supply an
anchor hook for the safety cable. See pages 4–5 for hardware specifications and
installation details.
Wood Ceiling Joist: You will need to supply two corrosion-resistant 12-11 x 45 mm
hex head timber screws with seal for attaching the fan mounting bracket or plate
directly to the joist. If required by local code, mount or embed an outlet box into
the joist. The outlet box must be suitable for fan support.
Covered Outdoor Locations*: Damp-rated fans installed in covered outdoor
locations must have fixed/permanent full overhead coverage extending at least
2 ft (0.6 m) out from the airfoil tips on all sides.
*When installing the fan in a covered outdoor location, use only light kits marked “Suitable for Use in
Damp Locations.”
