Installation- Mounting options
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked
“Acceptable for fan support of 35 lbs. (15.9 Kg) or less”, and
use screws provided with the outlet box. An outlet box
commonly used for the support of lighting fixtures may not
be acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced.
If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
If your ceiling fan does not have an existing UL-listed mounting
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 directly to the building structure. Use the
appropriate fasteners and materials. The outlet box and support
structure must be securely mounted and capable of-reliably
supporting a minimum of 35 lbs. (15.9kg). Use only UL-listed
outlet boxes marked “Acceptable for fan support of 35 lbs. (15.9
Kg) or less” Do not use a plastic outlet box. The illustrations
below show three different ways to mount the outlet box.
If the canopy touches the downrod, then remove the decorative
canopy bottom cover, and turn the canopy 180
°
before attaching
the canopy to the mounting plate.
To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling
joist, you may need an installation hanger bar as shown above
(available at any Home Depot store).
