Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: To avoid fire, shock and serious personal injury, follow these instructions.

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.

3.   The fan base must be securely mounted and capable of reliably supporting at least 35 lbs.  See page 5 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 10 feet from the floor to prevent accidental contact with the fan blades.
