Installing Your Fan 3.

Tools Required

Phillips screw driver, straight slot screw

driver, adjustable wrench, step ladder, and

wire cutters.

Mounting Options

If there isn’t an existing outlet 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 35 lbs.)

Do not use plastic outlet boxes.

Figures 1, 2, and 3 are examples of different

ways to mount the outlet box.

Outlet Box

Note: You may need a longer downrod to

maintain proper blade clearance when install-

ing on a steep, sloped ceiling. The maximum

angle allowable is 30˚. If the canopy touches

downrod, remove the decorative canopy

bottom cover and turn the canopy 180˚ before

attaching the canopy to the mounting plate.

Outlet 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 4

(available at your Hampton Bay retailer).

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC

SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT

FAN ONLY TO AN OUTLET BOX MARKED

“ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT OF 35 LBS.

(15.9 KG) OR LESS” AND USE THE MOUNTING

SCREWS PROVIDED WITH THE OUTLET BOX.

OUTLET BOXES COMMONLY USED FOR THE

SUPPORT OF LIGHTING FIXTURES MAY NOT

BE ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT AND

MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. CONSULT A

LICENSED ELECTRICIAN IF IN DOUBT.
