MOUNTING OPTIONS
If there isn't an existing 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.). Use a UL Listed metal outlet box.
Do not use a plastic outlet box.
Figure 1, 2 and 3 are examples of different ways to
mount the outlet box.
NOTE: You may need a longer downrod to maintain
proper blade clearance when installing on a steep,
sloped ceiling. Longer downrods are available from
your Minka-Aire
®
dealer.
To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture
but no ceiling joist, you may need to install a
hanger bar as shown in Fig. 4 (available at your
Minka-Aire
®
dealer).
