MOUNTING STRUCTURE: WOOD OR METAL SUPERSTRUCTURE

WARNING: The fan should not be installed unless the structure on which the fan is to be mounted is

of sound construction, undamaged, and capable of supporting the loads of the fan and its method of

attachment. Verifying the stability of the mounting structure is the sole responsibility of the customer and/

or end user, and Big Ass Fans hereby expressly disclaims any liability arising therefrom, or arising from

the use of any materials or hardware other than those supplied by Big Ass Fans or otherwise speciﬁed in

these installation instructions.

CAUTION: It is your responsibility to comply with all local and national codes and regulations regarding

mounting procedures and installation height!

Yellow Jacket can be hung from the existing building structure using a chain or cable of rated strength to support

the weight of the fan (approximately 105 lbs [47.6 kg]). The following instructions are merely a recommendation for

hanging the Yellow Jacket from the building structure. Consult a structural engineer to determine the best method

for mounting your fan. If mounting the fan to a concrete ceiling, see “Mounting Structure: Concrete.”

ATTENTION

Special consideration must be given to any external air inﬂuences such as HVAC discharge units, exhaust

fans, open doors, other fans, etc.

Install the eyenut on the fan yoke with the Yoke Washer

Assembly Kit as shown. Secure the chain or cable

to the eyenut, and then secure the other end to the

building structure. The chain or cable must be capable
