How to Hang Your Ceiling Fan
9
1. Using the
3
⁄
8
˝ x 2 ˝ lag bolt and flat washer, attach
safety cable to ceiling joist or wood structural member.
The lag bolt will pass through the flat washer, safety
cable loop, and into the building structure (Figure 3).
You will first drill a ¼˝ pilot hole into the building stru cture
to prevent splitting or cracking.
2. Securely attach the hanger bracket to ceiling junction
box acceptable for ceiling fan support.
NOTE: Ceiling support cable cannot be secured to
junction box only, it must be directly secured to ceiling
joist or structural member using the ⅜˝ x 2 ˝ lag bolt and
fl at washer. (Figure 3)
3.
Make sure the electrical supply wires, including the
hanger bracket grounding wire and safety cable are
pulled through the downrod, between the hanger bracket
and the junction box so that electrical connections can be
made later.
Carefully lift the fan and seat the downrod/hanger ball
assembly on the hanger bracket that was just attached to
the ceiling joist. Be sure the groove in the ball is lined up
with tab on the hanger bracket. (Figure 4)
5. Attach the safety cable to ceiling support cable. Slide
cable clamp onto safety cable (from fan). Place the end
of cable through the loop of ceiling support cable. Pull as
much cable through loop as possible. Feed end of cable
into clamp hole and firmly tighten screw (Figure 4). Cut
off excess safety cable.

WARNING
The fan must be hung with at least 7´ of clearance from
floor to blades. (Figure 2)
WARNING
The outlet box must be securely anchored and capable
of withstanding a load of at least 35 lbs. Hanger bracket
must seat rmly against outlet box. If the outlet box is
recessed, remove wallboard until bracket contacts box.
If bracket and/or outlet box are not securely attached,
the fan could wobble or fall.
CAUTION
Do not connect fan blades until the fan is completely
installed. Hanging fan with blades connected may result
in damage to the fan blades.
WARNING
To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is
turned off at the main fuse box before hanging. (Figure 1)
NOTE: If you are not sure if the outlet box is grounded,
contact a licensed electrician for advice, as it must be
grounded for safe operation.
WARNING
Failure to seat tab in groove could cause damage to
electrical wires and possible shock or fire hazard.
