WARNING
!
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 screws
supplied with outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly
used for support of light fixtures are not acceptable for

qualified electrician if in doubt.
WARNING

5.1
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.
