Installing Your Fan 3.
Tools Required
Phillips screw driver, straight slot screw
driver, adjustable wrench, step ladder, and
wire cutters.
Mounting Options
If there isn’t an existing outlet box, then read
the following instructions.
Disconnect the
power by removing fuses or turning off
circuit breakers.
Secure the outlet box directly to the building
structure. Use appropriate fasteners and
building materials. The outlet box and its
support must be able to fully support the
moving weight of the fan (at least 50 lbs.)
Do not use plastic outlet boxes.
Figures 1, 2, and 3 are examples of different
ways to mount the outlet box.
Outlet Box
Note: You may need a longer downrod to
maintain proper blade clearance when install-
ing on a steep, sloped ceiling.
The maximum
angle allowable is 30˚. If the canopy touches
downrod, remove the decorative canopy
bottom cover and turn the canopy 180˚ before
attaching the canopy to the mounting plate.
Outlet Box
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
(available at your Hampton Bay retailer).
