2 • Installing the Ceiling Plate
CAUTION: To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing your fan,
disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breakers to the outlet box
and associated wall switch location. If you cannot lock the circuit breakers
in the off position, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a
tag, to the service panel.
2-1. Drill two pilot holes into the wood support structure through the
outermost holes in the outlet box. e pilot holes should be 9/64”
in diameter.
2-2.Aligntheslottedholesintheceilingplatewiththepilotholesyou
drilled in the wood support structure. For proper alignment use
slotted holes directly across from each other.
2-3. Place the ceiling gasket over the ceiling plate so that the slots and
the raised surfaces on the ceiling gasket align with the slots and
holes on the ceiling plate.
2-4.Usea3”woodscrewtopiercetwoholesintheceilinggasketthat
match the pilot holes you drilled in step 2-1.
2-5. read the lead wires from the outlet box down through the hole
in the middle of the ceiling gasket and ceiling plate.
