2 • Installing the Hanger Bracket
CAUTION:
To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing your fan,
disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breakers to the outlet box
and associated wall switch location. If you cannot lock the circuit breakers
in the off position, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a
tag, to the service panel.
2-1. Drill two pilot holes into the wood support structure through the
outermost holes in the outlet box. The pilot holes should be 9/64”
in diameter.
2-2. Partially install two canopy screws in the holes on each end of the
hanger bracket, as shown in the figure to the right.
2-3. Your fan comes with four mounting isolators. Position the
isolators between the hanger bracket and ceiling by inserting the
raised areas on each isolator into the holes in the hanger bracket.
2-4. Thread the lead wires from the outlet box down through the hole
in the middle of the hanger bracket.
2-5. Align the slotted holes in the hanger bracket with the pilot holes
you drilled in the wood support structure.
Note:
The isolators should be flush against the ceiling.
2-6. Place a flat washer on each of the two 3” wood screws and pass
the screws through the slotted holes in the hanger bracket into
the pilot holes you drilled.
Tighten the screws into the 9/64” pilot holes; do not use lubricants
on the screws. Do not over tighten.
