1. Mounting Options
CAUTION:
To prevent electrical shock, ensure electricity has been
turned off at the circuit breaker before beginning.
If there isn’t an existing UL/cUL listed outlet box, please refer to the
following instructions. Secure the outlet box directly to the building
structure. Use appropriate fasteners and building materials. The
outlet box and support structure must be able to fully support the
moving weight of the fan (at least 35 lbs/15.9 kg). Do not use plastic
outlet boxes. Use only UL/cUL listed outlet boxes marked
“FOR FAN SUPPORT.”
Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure.
Figures 1-1D
are examples of different ways to mount the
outlet box.
NOTE:
To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no
ceiling joist, you may need an installation hanger bar.
NOTE:
Downrod fans can be suspended up to a maximum
recommended length of 72” using additional downrods
(sold separately) and the included 80” lead wire.
NOTE:
The sloped ceiling kit (sold separately) is required for sloped
ceiling applications, and will accommodate slopes up to 45° (Fig. 1B).
NOTE:
You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper blade
clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling (Fig. 1B).
