fan support of 70 lbs (31.8 kg) and use the mounting
screws provided with the outlet box.
w.2 - To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing
or servicing your fan, disconnect the power by turning
off the circuit breakers to the outlet box and associated
wall switch location. If you cannot lock the circuit
breakers in the off position, securely fasten a prominent
warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
