To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist,
you may need an installation hanger bar (not included) as shown above.
If your ceiling fan does not have an existing UL Listed mounting box,
then install one using the following instructions:
□
Disconnect the power by removing the fuses or turning off the
circuit breakers.
□
Secure the outlet box (not included) directly to the building
structure. Use appropriate fasteners and materials (not included).
The outlet box and its bracing must be able to fully support the
weight of the moving fan (at least 35 lb). Do not use a plastic
outlet box.
The illustrations below show three different ways to mount the outlet
box (not included).

NOTE:
You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper
blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling.
The maximum angle allowable is 18° away from horizontal. If
the canopy (B) touches the hanger ball/downrod assembly (D),
remove the decorative canopy bottom cover (C) and turn the
canopy (B) 180° before attaching the canopy (B) to the mounting
bracket (A).
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
personal injury, mount the fan to an outlet box marked
acceptable for fan support using the screws provided with the
outlet box. An outlet box commonly used for the support of
lighting fixtures may not be acceptable for fan support and
may need to be replaced. If in doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
