maintain proper blade clearance when
installing on a steep, sloped ceiling. (Fig. 3)

If there isn't an exsiting UL (CUL for Canadian
Installation) listed mounting box, then read the
following instructions. Disconnect the power by
removing fuses or turning off circuit breakers.
To hang your fan where there is an existing
fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need a
joist hanging bracket as shown in Fig. 4.
Secure the outlet box directly to the building
structure. Use appropriate fasteners and build-
ing materials. The outlet box and its support
must be able to fully support the moving weight
of the fan (at least 50 lbs). Do not use plastic
outlet boxes.
