How to Hang Your Ceiling Fan
NOTE: If you are not sure if the outlet box is grounded,
contact a licensed electrician for advise, as it must be
grounded for safe operation.
WARNING
The fan must be hung with at least 7’ of clearance
from ƀoor to blades. (Figure 2)
WARNING
To avoid possible ſre or shock, be sure electricity is
turned off at the main fuse box before hanging.
(Figure 1)
1. Securely attach the hanger bracket to the outlet box
using the outlet box screws and washers supplied with
the outlet box. (Figure 3)
2. Drill a ¼” pilot hole into the building structure to
prevent splitting or cracking with installation of the lag
bolt. Using the
” x 2” lag bolt and flat washer, attach
safety cable to ceiling joist or wood structural member.
The lag bolt will pass through the flat washer, safety
cable loop, and into the building structure. (Figure 3)
NOTE: Ceiling support cable cannot be secured to
junction box only, it must be directly secured to ceiling
joist or structural member using the
” x 2” lag bolt

3. Make sure the electrical supply wires, including
the hanger bracket grounding wire and safety cable
are pulled through the downrod, between the hanger
bracket and the junction box so that electrical
connections can be made later.

securely attached, the fan could wobble or fall.
4. Carefully lift the fan and seat the downrod/hanger ball
assembly on the hanger bracket that was just attached to
the outlet box. Be sure the groove in the ball is lined up
with tab on the hanger bracket (Figure 4)
WARNING
Failure to seat tab in groove could cause damage to
electrical wires and possible shock or ſre hazard.
WARNING
To avoid possible shock, do not pinch wires between
the hanger ball assembly and the hanger bracket.

cable clamp and washer onto safety cable (from fan).
Place the end of cable through the loop of ceiling support
cable. Pull as much cable through loop as possible. Feed
