1.   LIMITED LIFETIME MOTOR WARRANTY - If any part of your fan motor fails, due to a defect in materials or workmanship during 

the lifetime of the original purchaser, Fanimation will provide the replacement part free of charge, when the defective fan is returned 

to our national service center.  Proof of purchase is required.  Customer shall be responsible for all costs incurred in the removal or 

reinstallation and shipping of the product for repairs or replacement.

2.   ONE YEAR MOTOR LABOR WARRANTY - If your fan motor fails at any time within one year from the original purchase, due to 

defects in materials or workmanship, labor to repair the motor will be provided free of charge at our national service center.  Purchaser 

will be responsible for labor charges after this one-year period.  Customer shall be responsible for all costs incurred in the removal or 

reinstallation and shipping of the product for repairs or replacement.

3.   If any other part of your fan fails at any time within one year after original purchase, due to a defect in materials or workmanship, we 

will repair, or replace, at our option, the defective part free of charge for parts and labor performed at our national service center.

4.   Because of varying climate conditions, this warranty does not cover changes in the finish, including rusting, pitting, corroding, 

tarnishing, or peeling.

5.  This warranty is void and does not apply to damage from improper installation, neglect, accident, misuse, exposure to extremes of 

heat or humidity, or as a result of any modification to the original product.

6.   All costs of removal and reinstallation of the fan are the sole responsibility of the owner of the fan and not the store that sold the fan 

or Fanimation.

7.   Fanimation reserves the right to modify or discontinue any product at any time and may substitute any part under this warranty.

8.   Under no circumstances may a fan be returned without prior authorization from Fanimation.  The receipt of purchase must ac-

company authorized returns and must be sent freight prepaid to Fanimation.  The fan to be returned must be properly packed to avoid 

damage in transit; Fanimation will not be responsible for any damage resulting from improper packaging.

9.   It is understood that any repair or replacement is the exclusive remedy available from Fanimation.  There is no other expressed or 

implied warranty.  Fanimation hereby disclaims any and all implied warranties, including, but not limited to those of merchantability and 

fitness for a particular purpose to the extent permitted by law.  Some states do not allow limitations on implied warranties.  Fanimation 

will not be liable for incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of or in conjunction with product use or performance, 

except as may otherwise be accorded by law.  This warranty gives you special legal rights and you may also have other rights that vary 

from state to state.

10. A certain amount of wobble is normal and should not be considered a problem or a defect.

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.
