MOUNTING OPTIONS

DANGER

Turn off the circuit breakers and the wall switch to 

the fan supply line leads.  Failure to disconnect 

the power supply prior to installation may result in 

serious injury or death.

1.   Your fan has 3 mounting options:

•  Standard (Fig. 1)

•  Angled (Fig. 2)
•  Closemount (Fig. 3)

Note:

 The fans in figures 1 through 3 are not the actual 

fan in your package, they are representation of the 

3 different mounting options.

Important:

 If using the angle mount, check to ensure 

the ceiling angle is not steeper than 10°.

Helpful Hint:

 Standard mounting is best suited for 

ceilings 8 ft. or higher. For taller ceilings you may 

want to use a longer downrod (sold separately). 

Angled mounting is best suited for angled or 

vaulted ceilings. A longer downrod is sometimes 

necessary to ensure proper blade clearance. 

Closemount-style mounting is more suitable for 

ceilings lower than 8 ft. (2,44 m) high.

2.   Ensure that the blades of the fan are 30 in. (76 cm)

from any obstruction.

3.   Check the downrod length to ensure the blades will 

be at least 7 ft. (2,14 m) above your floor.
