FAN INSTALLATION GETTING STARTED
Installing a New Ceiling Fixture Outlet Box
If you do not have an existing fixture located where you wish to place your Casablanca fan, an approved ceiling fixture outlet box must be installed and wired.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked “Acceptable Fan Support of 22.7 kg (50 lbs.) or less” using the mounting hardware provided with the outlet box.
Using Existing Ceiling Fixture Outlet Box
After turning the power OFF at its source (either the circuit breaker or fuse box), lower the old fixture and disconnect the wiring. Check the ceiling fixture outlet box to be sure it is marked “Approved for Ceiling Fan Mounting.” If it is not, a new box must be installed.
NOTE: The weight of this fan is 25 pounds.
CROSSBAR MOUNTING BRACKET INSTALLATION
CEILING HARDWARE (not to scale)
Wire Nut (4)
Crossbar Mounting Bracket
NOTE: After removing the old fixture, check the outlet box to insure that it is supported by a joist or beam across its upper surface. If not, a 2 x 4 stud must be installed.
Step 1a. Remove the knockout plug in the center of the outlet box or drill a ½" hole for the lag screw to pass through. Then drill a ¼" guide hole into the joist or beam to a depth of 3 inches.
Step 1b. Route the outlet box wires through the keyhole slot of the crossbar mounting bracket as shown. Attach the crossbar mounting bracket to the outlet box with the screws provided, making sure the outlet box wires are not pinched by the washer.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only the mounting hardware provided with the approved outlet box to install the crossbar mounting bracket.
WARNING!
Support directly to building structure only.
