How to Hang Your Ceiling Fan
Figure 1
Main Fuse Box
WARNING
To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity
is turned off at the main fuse box before hanging.
(Figure 1)
NOTE:
If you are not sure if the outlet box is grounded,
contact a licensed electrician for advice, as it must be
grounded for safe operation.
WARNING
It is critical that the outlet box and the screws are
securely anchored to the building structure and
capable of withstanding a load of at least 35 lbs.
Failure to verify that the screws are properly installed
could result in the fan falling.
CAUTION
Do not connect fan blades until the fan is completely
installed. Hanging fan with blades connected may
result in damage to the fan blades.
