Tools Required

Phillips screwdriver, straight slot screwdriver,
step ladder, and wire cutters.

Mounting Options

If there isn't an existing UL 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.

To hang your fan where there is an existing

fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need an

installation hanger bar as shown in Figure 4

(available at your Hampton Bay Retailer).

Note: You may need a longer downrod to

maintain proper blade clearance when

installing on a steep, sloped ceiling.
