Installation Instructions

1. Remove existing fan: If not replacing an existing fan, skip to step 4 or 7.
2. Measure opening: Ensure the opening is large enough for the 9 in. x 9 in. fan housing (A).
3. Cut opening (if new installation): Cut a 9-1/4 in. x 9-1/4 in. opening for the fan housing (A).
4. Position fan housing (for joist spacing < 21-1/4 in.): Place fan housing (A) next to a ceiling joist, ensuring it is level and perpendicular. Position so the bottom edge is flush with the ceiling board. Do not flush mount to the joist.
5. Secure fan housing (for joist spacing < 21-1/4 in.): Insert suspension bracket (C) into tabs on fan housing (A). Mount housing to joist using wood screws (AA) in indicated holes. Tighten screws until secure.
6. Attach suspension brackets (for joist spacing < 21-1/4 in.): Attach the end of each suspension bracket (C) to the ceiling joist using wood screws (AA). Skip to step 10.
7. Install suspension brackets (for joist spacing 21-1/4 in. to 23-1/2 in.): Insert suspension brackets (C) into fan housing (A) tabs. Slide suspension brackets (D) into (C). Repeat on the opposite side.
