2-1. Drill two pilot holes into the wood support structure through the
outermost holes in the outlet box. e pilot holes should be 9/64”
in diameter.
2-2. Align the slotted holes in the hanger bracket with the pilot holes
you drilled in the wood support structure. For proper alignment
use slotted holes directly across from each other. If you are
installing the fan on an angled ceiling, be sure to orient the hanger
bracket with the large opening towards the ceiling peak.
2-3. Use an indelible marker to mark the exact location of the pilot
holes relative to the slots on the hanger bracket. Remove the
hanger bracket.
2-4. Partially install two canopy screws (about 2 full turns) in the
hanger bracket.
2-5. Place the ceiling gasket over the hanger bracket so that the slots
and the raised surfaces on the ceiling gasket align with the slots
and holes on the hanger bracket.
2-6. Use a 3” screw to pierce two holes in the ceiling gasket that match
the pilot holes you drilled in step 2-1. Use the marks on the hanger
bracket from step 2-3 as your guide.
2-7. read the lead wires from the outlet box down through the hole
in the middle of the ceiling gasket and hanger bracket.
Note: e ceiling gasket should be ush against the ceiling.
2-8. Place a at washer on each of the two 3 ” screws and pass the
screws through the ceiling gasket and hanger bracket into the
pilot holes you drilled.
Tighten the screws into the 9/64” pilot holes; do not
use lubricants on the screws. Do not over tighten.
