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.

NOTE:
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).
