Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the 
product. 
•  Before you begin installing the fan, disconnect the power by removing fuses or turning off the 

circuit breakers. 

•  Make sure that all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, the National 

Electrical  Code, and 

ANSI/NFPA  70-199. 

Hire  a 

qualified 

electrician 

or

 

consult 

do-it-yourself wiring handbook if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical 

wiring. 

•  Make sure the installation site you choose allows a minimum clearance of 7 ft. from the blades to 

the  floor  and 

at 

least  30 

in. 

from  the 

end 

of 

the 

blades to 

any

 

obstruction. 

•  The net weight of this fan is: 16.23 lbs. 

 

DANGER:

 When using an existing outlet box, make sure the outlet box is securely attached to 

the building structure and can support the full weight of the fan. Failure to do this can result in serious 
injury or death. The stability of the outlet box is essential in minimizing wobble and noise in the fan 
after installation is complete. 

        DANGER:

 If using the fan in a wet location, the fan must be connected to a supply circuit that is 

protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce the risk of personal injury, electrical 
shock or death. 

 

WARNING:

 To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan 

parts with sharp edges. 

 WARNING: 

To 

reduce 

the 

risk 

of 

fire, 

electric 

shock, or

 

personal 

injury, mount the 

fan 

to 

an 

outlet box marked “ACCEPTABLE FOR 

FAN SUPPORT” 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 

qualified 

electrician 

if 

in 

doubt. Secure 

the 

outlet 

box directly to the building structure. The outlet box and its support must be able to support the 
moving weight of the fan (at least 35 lbs.). Do NOT use a plastic outlet box. 

 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 gauges or 
there is more than one house wire to connect to the two fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the 
proper size wire connectors to use.
