MOUNTING OPTIONS

If there isn't an existing UL (cUL for Canadian Installation) listed
mounting box, then read the following instructions. Disconnect the
power by removing fuses or turning off circuit breakers.
Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. Use
appropriate fasteners and building materials. The outlet box and
its support must be able to fully support the moving weight of the
fan (at least 50 lbs). Do not use plastic outlet boxes.
Figures 1, 2 and 3 are examples of different ways to mount the
outlet box.
NOTE: If you are installing the ceiling fan on a sloped (vaulted)
ceiling, you may need a longer downrod to maintain proper
clearance between the tip of the blade and the ceiling. A minimum
clearance of 12" is suggested for optimal operation.
NOTE: Depending on the location you have selected for
installation, you may need to purchase and install a "Joist Hanger"
for the support of the outlet box. Make sure the joist hanger you
purchase has been designed for use with ceiling fans. (Fig. 4)
