3. Installing Your Fan
Tools Required
Phillips screw driver or straight slotted screw
driver, adjustable wrench, step ladder, and
wire cutters.
Mounting Options
If there isn’t an existing electrical box, then
read the following instructions. Disconnect
the power by removing fuses or turning off
circuit breakers.
Secure the electrical box directly to the building
structure. Use appropriate fasteners and
building materials. The electrical box and
its support must be able to fully support the
moving weight of the fan (at least 35 lbs.).
Do not use plastic electrical boxes.
Figures 1 and 2 are examples of different ways
to mount the electrical box.
To hang your fan where there is an existing
xture but no ceiling joist, you may need an
installation hanger bar as shown in Figure 3.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT
TO OUTLET BOX MARKED “ACCEPTABLE
FOR FAN SUPPORT OF 35 LBS. (15.9 KG) OR
LESS”, AND USE SCREWS PROVIDED WITH
THE OUTLET BOX. ELECTRICAL BOXES
COMMONLY USED FOR THE SUPPORT OF
LIGHTING FIXTURES MAY NOT BE ACCEPT-
ABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT AND MAY NEED TO
BE REPLACED. CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELEC-
TRICIAN IF IN DOUBT.
