MOUNTING BRACKET INSTALLATION (CONT.)

Step 1. Place a flat washer on each of the two

screws that came with the outlet box and pass the

screws through the slotted holes in the ceiling plate

into the screw holes in the outlet box.
Step 2. Tighten the screws into the outlet box;

do not use lubricants on the screws. Do not over

tighten.

Step 3. Install the lag screw if needed. Pass the

lag screw with the large washer attached through

the center hole of the ceiling plate and screw

into the guide hole. Tighten until the outlet box

is mounted firmly to the beam. This box must be

secured to the ceiling firmly.

NOTE: Lag Screw installation is required only under two conditions:

• Fan weighs 36 lbs. or more

• If the existing ceiling fixture outlet box needs to be modified for a ceiling fan application (for example, if the house is

not new construction and you are replacing an existing light fixture).

We recommend that the ceiling box be of sufficient capacity to support the weight of the fan and light fixture under any

conditions. If in doubt whether you need to install the lag screw, consult a qualified electrician.
