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 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-

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

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
