INSTALLING THE MOUNTING BRACKET
If there isn’t an existing outlet box, then install one using the following instructions:
•
Disconnect the power by removing the fuses or turning off the circuit breakers.
•
Secure the outlet box (A) (not included) directly to the building structure. Use appropriate fasteners
and materials (not included). The outlet box and its bracing must be able to fully support the weight
of the moving fan (at least 35 lbs). Do not use a plastic outlet box.
•
Figures 2-3
below show different ways to mount the outlet box (A) (not included).
NOTE: The ceiling fan must be installed in a location so that the blades are spaced 300mm from the tip
of the blade to the nearest objects or walls.
To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need an installation
hanger bar (C) as shown in
Fig.4
. Make sure the hanger bar you purchase has been designed for use
with ceiling fans.
ANGLED CEILING INSTALLATION
The hanging system of this fan is ONLY suitable for flat ceiling installation.
DO NOT install the fan on an angled ceiling
