If your fan is to replace an existing light fixture, turn
electricity off at the main fuse box at this time and remove
the existing light fixture.
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.
