5. MOUNTING OPTIONS
If there isn’t an existing UL/cUL listed mounting box, then read the
following instructions. Disconnect the power by removing fuses or
turning o circuit breakers.
Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. Use appropri-
ate fasteners and building materials. The outlet box and its support
must be able to fully support the moving weight of the fan (at least 35
lbs). Do not use plastic outlet boxes.
Figures 1 and 2 and 3 are examples of dierent 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)
To hang your fan where there is an existing xture but no ceiling joist,
you may need an installation hanger bar as shown in Figure 4.
