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 are examples of dierent ways to mount the outlet

box.

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 3.
