Preparing the Fan Site (continued)

Step 2 - Cut the Ceiling Hole

2-1. Locate the site for the ceiling hole directly below the joist or support brace that will hold the outlet box and fan.

2-2. Cut a 4” diameter hole through the drywall or plaster of the ceiling. You will use the hole to install the support brace and outlet box.

Step 3 - Install a Support Brace, If Necessary

Determine if there is a ceiling joist directly above the ceiling hole. If the joist is there, determine if it is positioned to allow you to recess the outlet box a minimum of 1/16” into the ceiling. If NOT, install a support brace as follows:

3-1. Attach a 2” x 4” support brace between two joists. Position it to allow you to recess the bottom of the outlet box a minimum of 1/16” into the ceiling.

3-2. Check the support brace to ensure it will support the full weight of the fan and light kit.

Step 4 - Install the Outlet Box

4-1. 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.

4-2. Orient the outlet box so that both the inner and outer holes in the box align with the joist or support brace.

4-3. Drill pilot holes no larger than the minor diameter of the wood screws (5/64”) through the inner holes of the outlet box.

4-4. Attach the outlet box directly to the support brace or joist with two #8 x 1-1/2” wood screws and washers. h e bottom of the outlet box must be recessed a minimum of 1/16” into the ceiling.

Step 5 - Prepare the Wiring

5-1. 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.

5-2. hread the fan supply line through the outlet box so that the fan supply line extends at least 6” beyond the box.

5-3. Attach the fan supply line to the outlet box with an approved connector, available at any hardware store or electrical supply house.

5-4. Make certain the wiring meets all national and local standards and ANSI/NFPA 70..

You have now successfully prepared your ceiling fan site. For instructions to install your ceiling fan, go to your fan manual and continue with Section 2 • Installing the
