Hanger bracket must seat firmly against outlet box. If
the outlet box is recessed, use leveling washers
between the hanger bracket and the outlet box until
the bracket is flush with the ceiling. If bracket and/or
outlet box are not securely attached, the fan could
wobble or fall.

WARNING

!

Hanging The Ceiling Fan

(Standard Method Using

Hanger Ball/Downrod)

1. Carefully lift the fan assembly and seat the hanger

ball in the hanger bracket (Figure 7). The tab on
the hanger bracket must seat in the groove in the
hanger ball.

NOTE: The hanger bracket must be mounted
flush with the ceiling in order for the ceiling cover
to install properly. If necessary, use leveling
washers (not supplied) between the outlet box
and the hanger bracket.

2. Slide the hanger bracket onto the outlet box

screws. Center the bracket over the outlet box and
then securely tighten the screws (Figure 6).

The outlet box and joist must be securely mounted and
capable of supporting at least 50 lbs. Use only a U.L.
outlet box listed as “Acceptable for Fan Support”.

WARNING

!

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal
injury, mount fan to outlet box marked “Acceptable for
Fan Support”, and use screws supplied with outlet box.
Most outlet boxes commonly used for support of light
fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may
need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if
in doubt.
