SAFETY TIPS.
page 1
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, turn off the electricity to the fan at the main fuse box or
circuit panel before you begin the fan installation or before servicing the fan or installing accessories.
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR
FAN AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with
sharp edges.
2. Make sure all electrical connections comply with Local Codes or Ordinances, the National Electrical
Code, and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. If you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring or if the house/building
wires are different colors than those referred to in the instructions, please use a qualified
electrician.
3. Make sure you have a location selected for your fan that allows clear space for the blades to rotate,
and at least seven (7) feet (2.13 meters) of clearance between the floor and the fan blade tips. The
fan should be mounted so that the tips of the blades are at least thirty (30) inches (76 centimeters)
from walls or other upright structures.
4. The outlet box and ceiling support joist used must be securely mounted, and capable of supporting
at least 35 pounds (16 kilograms). The outlet box must be supported directly by the building
structure. Use only ETL or UL listed outlet boxes marked "FOR FAN SUPPORT."
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount to the outlet box marked
"Acceptable for Fan Support of 15.9 kg (35 lb) or less," and use the mounting screws provided with the
outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for
fan support and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, wire connectors provided with this
fan are designed to accept only one 12 gauge house wire and two lead wires from the fan. If your house
wire is larger than 12 gauge or there is more than one house wire to connect to the corresponding fan
lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.
5. Electrical diagrams are for reference only.
6. After installation is complete, check that all connections are absolutely secure.
7. After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed
carefully up into the outlet box. The wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor
and the equipment-grounding conductor on opposite sides of the outlet box.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use this fan with any solid state speed
control device or control fan speed with a full range dimmer switch. [Using a full range dimmer switch to
control fan speed will cause a loud humming noise from fan.]
8. Do not operate the reverse switch until the fan has come to a complete stop.
9. Do not insert anything between the fan blades while they are rotating.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade arms during assembly or after
installation. Do not insert objects into the path of the blades.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items, be cautious when working
around or cleaning the fan.
10. Do not use detergents when cleaning the fan or fan blades. A dry dust cloth or lightly dampened
cloth will be suitable for most cleaning.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only parts provided with this fan. The use of parts
OTHER than those provided with this fan will void the warranty.
NOTE: The important safety precautions and instructions appearing in the manual are not meant to cover
all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense and
caution are necessary factors in the installation and operation of this fan.
