Assembly
User is responsible for determining feasibility of wall material for appropriately
securing the bracket. Sleeve anchors may cause certain materials, such as
brick & sandstone, to crack. If drywall is involved, a stud must be used for at
least two of the anchor points.
Bear in mind that the fans weigh about 30 lbs. each. The wood screws
require a 1/8" pilot hole. When using the metal anchors in brick, stucco,
mortar, or similar material, use a 3/8" masonry bit to drill your holes for the
anchor. When drilling into concrete or similar hard material, a 7/16" masonry
bit may work better to allow extra installation clearance for the anchor.
If you are unsure of the proper installation methods required to safely mount
the fan bracket, and/or lack the proper tools for installation, hire a qualied
professional to provide assistance.
Be sure the fan has plenty of room to oscillate without hitting objects and is
not too close to a pathway.
18" fans work best at installed height between 8–10 feet, measured from the
ground up to the bottom of the mounting bracket. 24" fans are reccomended
to mount at or above 10 feet for best airow coverage.
Please take into consideration the locations of nearby power outlets for the
power cord to plug into. Note that your installation may require a lower fan
mounting height due to wind or weather that may interfere with the airow
from the fan. Also consider the appearance of the fans if aesthetics are a
primary factor in choosing a mounting location.
