Understanding roof pitch
To ensure the fan is properly mounted, the fan must always hang plumb to the ground and the yoke must be installed using the bolt
holes at the widest locations possible. To accommodate building structures on which the standard upper yoke does not allow the fan to
properly orient itself, the 90-Degree Offset mount should be purchased.
The example below shows one situation in which the 90-Degree Offset mount must be used so that the fan hangs plumb to the ground
and the widest stance for the upper yoke is ensured. If you are uncertain of your roof pitch or do not have the correct mount to properly
hang your fan, consult a structural engineer or contact Big Ass Fans Customer Service at 1-877-BIG-FANS.
