MOUNTING OPTIONS
WARNING:
or personal injury, mount the fan to an outlet box
marked ‘’acceptable for fan support of 35 lbs.
(15.9kg) or less’’, and use the screws provided with
the outlet box. An outlet box commonly used for the
fan support and may need to be replaced. If in doubt,
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 the 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 lbs.). Do not use
a plastic outlet box.
The illustrations below show three different ways to mount the
outlet box.
If the canopy touches the downrod, then remove the decorative canopy
bottom cover and turn the canopy 180° before attaching the canopy to
the mounting plate.
you may need an installation hanger bar as shown above
(available at any Home Depot store).
NOTE: You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper
blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped
ceiling. The maximum angle allowable is 30° away from
horizontal.
