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 ac- ceptable for ceiling fan support using the mounting hardware provided with the outlet box.
Using Existing Ceiling Fixture Outlet Box
After turning the power OFF at its source (either circuit breaker or fuse box), lower the old fixture and disconnect the wiring. Check the ceiling fixture outlet box to be sure that it is marked ‘Approved for ceiling fan mounting’. If it is not, a new box must be installed.

CROSSBAR MOUNTING BRACKET INSTALLATION
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 1. Remove the knockout plug in the center of the out- let box or drill a 1/2″ hole for the lag screw to pass through. Then drill a 1/4″ guide hole into the joist or beam to a depth of 3″.
Step 2. Route the outlet box wires through the keyhole slot of the crossbar mounting bracket as shown. Attach the crossbar mounting bracket to outlet box with screws provided, assuring that 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.
