NOTE: If you are installing the ceiling fan on a sloped (vaulted)

minimum clearance of 12" is suggested for optimal operation.
NOTE: Depending on the location you have selected for
installation, you may need to purchase and install a "Joist
Hanger" for the support of the outlet box. Make sure the joist
hanger you purchase has been designed for use with ceiling
