Quick question about amps through the relay board

Hello,
I would like to run my electric fan through the FI relay on the relay board, but I am concerned with how many amps I can run through the JP1 terminal block the relay board itself. My fan draws 8 amps and I generally do a good deal of idling with the fan on. I know I could have the circuit run a separate relay, but that seems silly.

What can I realistically run through the relay board?

(I have searched and not found what I was looking for).

Thanks ~ JEB

The FIDLE output was designed for a low current solenoid. I wouldn't run more than 1-2 amps through it.
