The outlet box must be securely anchored and capable
of withstanding a load of at least 50 lbs.

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 in in doubt.

WARNING

Hanger bracket must seat firmly against outlet box. If
the outlet box is recessed, remove wall board until
bracket contacts box. If bracket and/or outlet box are
not securely attached, the fan could wobble or fall.

WARNING

Failure to seat tab in groove could cause damage to
electrical wires and possible shock or fire hazard.

WARNING

To avoid possible fire or shock, do not pinch wires
between the hanger ball/downrod assembly and
hanger bracket.

WARNING

!

To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity
is turned off at the main fuse box before wiring.
NOTE: If you are not sure if the outlet box is
grounded, contact a licensed electrician for advice,
as it must be grounded for safe operation.
