Tools Required: Philips screw driver, slotted screw driver, step-ladder, wire cutters, electrical tape.
MOUNTING OPTIONS
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.
Figure1,2 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 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 or local hardware store)
