4. MOUNTING OPTIONS
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)

If there isn't an existing UL ( CUL for Canadian
Installation) listed mounting box, then read the
following instructions. Disconnect the power by
removing fuses or turning off circuit breakers.
To hang your fan where there is an existing
fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need a
joist hanging bracket as shown in Fig 4.
