less" and use mounting screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet
boxes commonly used for the support of light fixtures are not acceptable for
fan support and may need to be replaced. Due to the complexity of the
installation of this fan, a qualified licensed electrician is strongly
recommended.

MOUNTING OPTIONS
If there isn't an existing UL (cUL for Canadian Installation) listed
mounting box, then read the following instructions. Disconnect the
power by removing fuses or turning o 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 full weight of the fan (at least 50 lbs). Do not use
plastic outlet boxes.
Figures 1, 2 and 3 are examples of dierent ways to mount the outlet
box.
NOTE: If you are installing the ceiling fan on a sloped (vaulted) ceiling,
you may need a longer downrod to maintain proper clearance between
the tip of the blade and the ceiling. A minimum clearance of 12" is
suggested for optimal operation.
NOTE: Depending on the location you have selected for installation, you
may need to purchase and install a "Joist Hanger" for the support of the
outlet box. Make sure the joist hanger you purchase has been designed
for use with ceiling fans. (Fig. 4)

A safety support cable is provided to help prevent the ceiling fan from
falling.
Step 1. Attach the provided wood screw and washers to the ceiling joist
next to the mounting bracket but do not tighten. (Fig. 12)
Step 2. Adjust the length of the safety cable to reach the screw and
washers by pulling the extra cable through the cable clamp until the
overall length is correct, put the end of the cable back through the cable
clamp, forming a loop at the end of the cable. Tighten the cable clamp
securely. Now, put the loop in the end of the safety cable over the wood
screw and under the washer. Tighten the wood screw securely.
NOTE: Although the safety support cable is required for Canadian
installations only. It's a good idea to make the attachment with any
installation.
