To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal
injury, mount fan to outlet box marked “Acceptable

support of light fixtures are not acceptable for fan
support and may need to be replaced. Consult a
qualified electrician if in doubt.

2. Carefully lift the fan and seat the hanger

ball/downrod assembly on the hanger bracket that
was just attached to the outlet box (Figure 13). Be
sure the groove in the ball is lined up with tab on
the hanger bracket (Figure 12).

Failure to seat tab in groove could cause damage to
electrical wires and possible shock or fire hazard.
