4. MOUNTING OPTIONS
If there isn’t an existing CUL listed 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 50 lbs.). Do not use plastic outlet boxes.
Figures 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 are examples of different
ways to mount the outlet box.
NOTE:
A longer downrod maybe need to maintain
proper clearance when installing on a steep,
sloped ceiling. (Fig. 4.3)
To hang a fan where there is an existing fixture, but
no ceiling joist, an installation hanger bar should
be used as shown in Figure 4.4.
