MOUNTING OPTIONS
If your ceiling fan does not have an existing UL 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 its bracing must be able to fully support the weight of
the moving fan (at least 35 lbs). Do not use a plastic outlet
box.
The illustrations below show three different ways to mount the
outlet box.

If the canopy (C) touches the ball/downrod assembly (B), then remove
the decorative canopy bottom cover and turn the canopy (C) 180°
before attaching the canopy (C) 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).

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
or personal injury, mount to an outlet box marked
“Acceptable for fan support of 35 lbs (15.9 kg) or less,”
and use the 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.
NOTE:
You may
need
a
longer
downrod
to
maintain
proper blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped
ceiling. The maximum angle allowable is 30° away from
horizontal.
