1.   Read your owner’s manual and safety information before installing your new fan.  Review the accompanying assembly diagrams.
2.   Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock service panel disconnecting means to prevent power 
from being switched on accidentally.  When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a warning device, such 
as a tag, to the service panel.
3.   Be careful of the fan and blades when cleaning, painting, or working near the fan.  Always turn off the power to the ceiling fan before 
servicing.
4.   Do not insert anything into the fan blades while the fan is operating.
5.   Do not operate reversing switch until fan blades have come to a complete stop.

Additional Safety Instructions

1.   To avoid possible shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the fuse box before wiring, and do not operate fan without blades.
2.   All wiring and installation procedures must satisfy National Electrical Codes (ANSI/ NFPA 70-1999) and Local Codes.  The ceiling fan 
must be grounded as a precaution against possible electrical shock.  Electrical installation should be made or approved by a licensed 
electrician.
3.   The fan base must be securely mounted and capable of reliably supporting at least 50 lbs.  See page 4 of owner’s manual for 
support requirements.  Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
4.   The fan must be mounted with the fan blades at least 7 feet from the floor to prevent accidental contact with the fan blades.
5.   Follow the recommended instructions for the proper method of wiring your ceiling fan.  If you do not have adequate electrical 
knowledge or experience, have your fan installed by licensed electrician.
