PTIONS
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 TM 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 TM dealer).
