power. If the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, attach a warning
device such as a tag to the service panel. The fan should only be used with an
AC 120V/60HZ power supply. The outlet box should be properly installed to the
house structure before mounting the fan. A metal outlet box suitable for fan
support should be used along with screws provided with the outlet box that can
support at least 35 lbs. The outlet box should be securely fastened to a
structural ceiling member before attaching the fan to it.
