Electrical Requirements; How To Hang Your Ceiling Fan - Emerson BUCKINGHAM CF715AB00 Owner's Manual

NOTE: Take care not to scratch fan housing when
installing blades.
9. Loosely attach one blade assembly to the motor
hub using two 1/4-20 x 1/2" Phillips oval head
flange screws (Figure 5). Make sure the screws
are NOT tightened. Repeat this procedure for the
other four blade assemblies.
10. The blade flanges have an interlocking feature that
must be fully engaged before tightening the
screws. Make sure all the flanges are properly
engaged and then tighten the flange screws. If one
of the flanges does not seat properly on the motor
hub, loosen the adjacent flange screws, re-engage
and reseat the flanges, then tighten the screws
again.

Electrical Requirements

Your new ceiling fan will require a grounded electrical
supply line of 120 volts AC, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit.
!
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.
The outlet box must be securely anchored and capa-
ble of withstanding a load of at least 50 pounds.
If your fan is to replace an existing ceiling light fixture,
turn electricity off at the main fuse box at this time and
remove the existing light fixture.
!
To avoid fire or shock, follow all wiring instructions
carefully.
Any electrical work not described in these
instructions should be done or approved by a
licensed electrician.
