To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal
injury, mount fan to outlet box marked “Acceptable for
Fan Support of 22.7 kg. (50 lbs.) or less”, and use

Unscrew (but do not remove) the two mounting screws
in the outlet box (Figure 12). Position the hanger
bracket on the outlet box so that the T-slots in the
hanger bracket are aligned with the outlet box screws.
NOTE: The hanger bracket must be mounted flush
with the ceiling in order for the ceiling cover to
install properly. If necessary, use leveling washers
(not supplied) between the outlet box and the
hanger bracket.
