PTIONS
Figures 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 Figure 4
(available at your Minka-Aire™
dealer). 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. The outlet box
and its support must be able to fully
support the moving weight of the
fan (at least 50 lbs.). Use a U.L.
Listed metal outlet box. Do not use
a plastic outlet box.
