2 • Installing the Ceiling Plate
CAUTION:
To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing your fan,
disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breakers to the outlet box
and associated wall switch location. If you cannot lock the circuit breakers
in the off position, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a
tag, to the service panel.
2-1. Drill two pilot holes into the wood support structure through the
outermost holes in the outlet box. The pilot holes should be 9/64”
in diameter.
2-2. Align the slotted holes in the ceiling plate with the pilot holes you
drilled in the wood support structure. For proper alignment use
slotted holes directly across from each other.
2-3. Place the ceiling gasket over the ceiling plate so that the slots and
the raised surfaces on the ceiling gasket align with the slots and
holes on the ceiling plate.
2-4. Use a 3” wood screw to pierce two holes in the ceiling gasket that
match the pilot holes you drilled in step 2-1.
2-5. Thread the lead wires from the outlet box down through the hole
in the middle of the ceiling gasket and ceiling plate.
Note:
The
ceiling gasket should be flush against the ceiling.
2-6. Place a flat washer on each of the two 3” wood screws and pass the
screws through the slotted holes in the ceiling plate into the pilot
holes you drilled.
Tighten the screws into the 9/64” pilot holes; do not use lubricants
on the screws. Do not over tighten.

For Angled Ceilings:
Be sure to orient
the ceiling plate so that the label
adhered to the ceiling plate is closest
to the ceiling peak.
