Installing the Ceiling Bracket
Installing the Downrod
You have two options for installation. Pick which one works best for your location.
Follow below if you are using the downrod that came pre-assembled in your box. Need to 
install a longer or shorter downrod? Check out the guide at the end of this manual.
Check the outlet box:
Use wood screws (included) 
when securing to support 
structure with approved 
electrical outlet box. Drill 
9/64” pilot holes in support 
structure to aid in securing 
ceiling bracket with 
hardware found in the   
hardware bag.
Use machine screws (pro-
vided with outlet box) when 
securing to existing ceiling 
fan-rated outlet box. Make 
sure it is securely installed 
and is acceptable for fan 
support of 31.8 kg (70 lbs) 
or less.
