4. MOUNTING OPTIONS
If there isn't an existing CUL listed mounting box,
then read the following instructions. Disconnect the
power by removing fuses or turning off circuit
breakers.
Secure the outlet box directly to the building
structure. Use appropriate fasteners and building
materials. The outlet box and its support must be
able to fully support the moving weight of the fan
(at least 50 lbs). Do not use plastic outlet boxes.
Figures 1,2 and 3 are examples of different ways to
mount the outlet box.
Note:
You may need a longer downrod to maintain
proper blade clearance when installing on a steep,
sloped ceiling. (Fig. 3)
To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture
but no ceiling joist, you may need an installation
hanger bar as shown in Figure 4.
