How to Hang Your Ceiling Fan
The fan must be hung with at least 7' of
clearance from floor to blades (Figure 9).
WARNING
!
The outlet box and joist must be securely
mounted and capable of supporting at
least 50 lbs. Use only a U.L. outlet box
listed as “Acceptable for Fan Support”.
WARNING
!
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, or personal injury, mount fan to
outlet box marked “Acceptable for Fan
Support”, 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.
