WARNING
: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
personal injury, mount to outlet box marked acceptable for
fan support of 15.9 Kg (35 lbs) or less and use mounting
screws provided with the outlet box.
If there is not an existing UL Listed metal 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 35 lbs.). Do not use plastic outlet
boxes. Figures 1 and 2 are examples of different ways to
mount the outlet box
.
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 3 (available at your Retailer).

Remove the split pin (1), washer (2) and pivot pin (3) from the
downrod assembly (H) and set them aside for later restoration.
Push the pivot pin through the motor shaft and downrod
holes (Figure 5). Pivot pin's insert end is of special
designed cone shape, it would push away and won't harm
the wires inside the downrod. Secure the pivot pin by
inserting the split pin and bending the ends to prevent it
from falling out of the holes (Figure 5).
