To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal
injury, mount fan to outlet box marked "Acceptable for
Fan Support of 22.7 kg. (50 lbs.) or less", 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.
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.
