How to Hang Your Ceiling Fan
NOTE: If you are not sure if the outlet box is grounded,
contact a licensed electrician for advice, as it must be
grounded for safe operation.
WARNING
To avoid possible fire or shock, be sure electricity is
turned off at the main fuse box before hanging.
(Figure 1)
Figure 1
WARNING
The fan must be hung with at least 7’ of clearance from
floor to blades. (Figure 2)
CAUTION
Do not connect fan blades until the fan is completely
installed. Hanging fan with blades connected may
result in damage to the fan blades.

1. Securely attach the hanger bracket to the outlet box
using the #8-32 outlet box screws and washers
supplied with the fan. (Figure 3)
2. Drill a 1/4" pilot hole into the building structure to
prevent splitting or cracking with installation of the lag
bolt. Using the 3/8" 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
outlet box only, it must be directly secured to ceiling
joist or structural member using the 3/8" x 2" lag bolt
and flat washer. (Figure 3)
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 outlet box so that electrical
connections can be made later.
WARNING
The outlet box must be securely anchored. Hanger
bracket must seat firmly against outlet box. If the
outlet box is recessed, remove wall board until bracket
contacts box. If bracket and /or outlet box are not
securely attached, the fan could wobble or fall.
