Securely attach the hanger bracket to the
outlet box using the two screws supplied
with the outlet box (Figure 10).
The fan must be hung with at least 7' of
clearance from floor to blades (Figure 9).

WARNING
The outlet box and joist must be securely
mounted and capable of supporting at
least 50 lbs. Use only a U.L. outlet box
listed as “Acceptable for Fan Support of
22.7 kg. (50 lbs.) or less”.

WARNING
Failure to seat tab in groove could cause
damage to electrical wires and possible
shock or fire hazard.
!
WARNING
To avoid possible fire or shock, do not
pinch wires between the hanger ball/down-
rod assembly and hanger bracket.
!
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
personal injury, mount fan to outlet box
marked “Acceptable for Fan Support of
22.7 kg. (50 lbs.) or less”, and use screws
supplied with outlet box. Most outlet boxes
commonly used for support of light fix-
tures are not acceptable for fan support
and may need to be replaced. Consult a
qualified electrician if in doubt.
!
WARNING
Hanger bracket must seat firmly against
outlet box. If the outlet box is recessed,
remove wall board until bracket contacts
box. If bracket and/or outlet box are not
securely attached, the fan could wobble or
