Electrical and Structural Requirements
Your new ceiling fan will require a grounded electrical supply
line of 120VAC, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit. The outlet box must
be securely anchored and capable of withstanding a load
of at least 100 lbs. Figure 1 depicts different structural
con

gurations that may be used for mounting the outlet
box.
If your fan is to replace an existing light
fi
xture, turn
electricity off at the main fuse box at this time and remove
the existing light
fi
xture.
