x section.
If there is not an adequate ceiling joist available, do the following:
1. Attach a 2" x 4" support brace between two joists. The sup-
port brace must allow the bottom of the outlet box to be re-
cessed a minimum of 1/16" into the ceiling. See Figure 7.
2. Check the support brace to ensure it will support the full weight
of the fan and light kit.
installing the outlet box
1. Obtain a UL-approved octagonal 4" x 1-1/2" outlet box, plus
two #8 x 1-1/2" wood screws and washers, available from any
hardware store or electrical supply house.
2. Orient the outlet box so that both the inner and outer holes in
the box align with the joist or support brace.
3. Drill pilot holes no larger than the minor diameter of the wood
screws (5/64") through the inner holes of the outlet box.
4. Attach the outlet box directly to the support brace or joist
with two #8 x 1-1/2" wood screws and washers. The bottom of
the outlet box must be recessed a minimum of 1/16" into the
ceiling as shown in Figure 7.

1. Make sure the circuit breakers to the fan supply line leads and
associated wall switch location are turned off. If you cannot
lock the circuit breakers in the off position, securely fasten a
prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
2. Thread the fan supply line through the outlet box so that the
fan supply line extends at least 6" beyond the box as shown in
Figure 8.
3. Attach the fan supply line to the outlet box with an approved
connector, available at any hardware store or electrical supply
house. Refer to Figure 8.
4. Make certain the wiring meets all national and local standards
and ANSI/NFPA 70.

installing the ceiling plate
1. Drill two pilot holes into the wood support structure through
the outermost holes on the outlet box. The pilot holes should
be 9/64" in diameter.
2. Thread the lead wires from the outlet box through the hole in
the middle of the ceiling plate.
3. Your fan comes with four neoprene noise isolators. Position
the isolators between the ceiling plate and ceiling by inserting
the raised areas on each isolator into the holes in the ceiling
plate. Refer to Figure 9.
