2. Electrical Requirements
Your new ceiling fan will require a grounded electrical
supply line of 120 volts AC, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal
injury, mount fan to outlet box marked “Acceptable for
Fan Support of 22.7 kg. (50 lbs.) or less”, and use
screws supplied with outlet box. Most outlet boxes
commonly used for support of light fixtures are not
acceptable for fan support and may need to be
replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
WARNING
!
Turning off wall switch is not sufficient. To avoid
possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned
off at the main fuse box before wiring. All wiring must
be in accordance with National and Local codes and
the ceiling fan must be properly grounded as a
precaution against possible electrical shock.
WARNING
!
To avoid fire or shock, follow all wiring instructions
carefully.
Any electrical work not described in these
instructions should be done or approved by a licensed
electrician.
WARNING
!
The outlet box must be securely anchored and capable
of withstanding a load of at least 50 pounds.
If your fan is to replace an existing ceiling light fixture,
turn electricity off at the main fuse box at this time and
remove the existing light fixture.
