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 appropriate fasten-

ers 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 dierent 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 ﬁxture but no ceiling joist, you may

need an installation hanger bar as shown in Figure 4.
