BEGIN INSTALLATION
MOUNTING OPTIONS
If there isn't an existing mounting box, then read the following instructions. Shut the
power off at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
Secure the hanger bracket directly to the building structure via the knock outs from
the outlet box. The building joist and its support must be able to fully support the
moving weight of the fan. 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 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.)
Tools Required: Phillips screw driver; slotted screw driver; pliers; wire cutters; electrical tape.
