Emerson CF990BS00, CF990VNB00 Electrical Requirements, How to Put Your Ceiling Fan Together

Electrical Requirements

Your new ceiling fan will require a grounded electrical supply line of 120 volts AC, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit.

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

! WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount fan to outlet box marked “Acceptable for Fan Support of 15.9 kg. (35lbs.) oror 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.

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.

! WARNING

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.

! WARNING

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.

Separate, untwist and unkink the three 80” motor

leads. Route the motor lead wires through the

downrod. Align the clevis pin holes in the downrod

with the holes in the motor coupling. Install the

clevis pin and secure with the hairpin clip (Figure

2). The clevis pin must go through the holes in the

motor coupling and the holes in the downrod. Be
