INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR OUTDOOR USE HUNTER CEILING FANS USING INSTALLER'S CHOICE MOUNTINGS

Step 1: Pre-Installation Instructions

A. Select installation site. Check to make sure that in normal use no object can come in contact with the rotating fan blades. The mounting site should also meet the precautions listed in Step 3.

B. Installation hardware is included for a standard ceiling. You will need an outlet box listed as "Suitable for outdoor use."

C. The fan blades must be mounted at least 7' above the floor. For maximum efficiency, there should not be any obstruction (walls, posts, etc.) within 24" of the blade tips. See Figure 1 for mounting distances.
