How to Hang
Your Ceiling Fan
The fan must be hung with at least 7'
of clearance from floor to blades
(Figure 9).
! WARNING
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 sup-
plied 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 electri-
cian if in doubt.
