Step 3. Install the lag screw if needed. Pass the
lag screw with the large washer attached through
the center hole of the ceiling plate and screw
into the guide hole. Tighten until the outlet box
is mounted rmly to the beam. This box must be
secured to the ceiling rmly.
NOTE: Lag Screw installation is required only under two conditions:
• Fan weighs 36 lbs. or more
• If the existing ceiling xture outlet box needs to be modied for a ceiling fan application (for example, if the house is
not new construction and you are replacing an existing light xture).
We recommend that the ceiling box be of sufcient capacity to support the weight of the fan and light xture under any
conditions. If in doubt whether you need to install the lag screw, consult a qualied electrician.
