SAFETY INFORMATION
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
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 all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, the National Electrical Code
Hire an electrician or consult a do-it-yourself handbook if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.
• Make sure the installation site you choose allows a minimum of 7 feet from the blades to the floor and at least 30 inches from
the tip of the blades to any obstruction.
• The weight of the fan is 20.35 pounds.
DANGER:
When using an existing outlet box, make sure it is securely attached to the building structure and can support
the full weight of the fan. Failure to 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.
WARNING:
To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with sharp edges.
WARNING:
Using a full-range dimmer switch to control fan speed will cause a humming sound from the fan. To reduce the
risk of fire or electric shock, do NOT use a full-range dimmer switch to control fan speed.
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 a 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.).
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric 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-gauge and/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.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, do not bend the blade arms when installing them,
balancing the blades or cleaning the fan. Do not insert objects between the rotating fan blades.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only parts provided with this fan. The use of parts other than those
provided with this fan will void the warranty.
CAUTION:
Be sure the outlet box is properly grounded or a ground (green or bare) wire is present.
CAUTION:
Carefully check all screws, bolts, and nuts on the fan assembly ensure they are secured.
