1.
Securely attach the hanger bracket to the
outlet box using the two screws supplied
with the outlet box (Figure 11).
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, electric 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.

How to Wire
Your Ceiling Fan
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
If you feel that you do not have enough
electrical wiring knowledge or
experience, have your fan installed by a
licensed electrician.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of
electrical shock, disconnect the
electrical supply circuit before installing
the fan, light kit or receiver.
