BEFORE YOU BEGIN

SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS

Important Safety Information

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH, and PROPERTY DAMAGE, you should read, understand, and follow the warnings and instructions in 

this manual before installing or operating the fan.

FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK AND CRUSH HAZARDS.

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH:

• ALWAYS mount fan directly from building structure that can withstand double the maximum hanging fan weight

and install the Retention Cable.

• BEFORE installing or servicing your fan, ALWAYS disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breaker or

breakers to the fan locations. If you cannot lock the circuit breakers in the off position, securely fasten a prominent

warning device, such as a tag, to the electrical panel.

• All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical codes, including ANSI/NFPA 70.  If you are

unfamiliar with wiring or are in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

• DO NOT install fan to be used in the presences of flammable vapors and gasses or in environments where

combustible dust is present.

• DO NOT bend the blades or blade holders when installing or cleaning the fan.

• DO NOT insert foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.

Installation, adjustment, repair, or maintenance must be performed by qualified personnel.

Follow all safety practices and instructions during the installation, operation, and servicing of the fan. Failure to apply these safety practices 

could result in death or serious injury. If you do not understand the instructions, please call our Technical Department at 1-844-593-FANS 

(3267) for guidance. Also, you may view our ECO Installation video on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bztBaVNra4g

Always check federal, state, and local codes before installing fan.

Code compliance is the responsibility of the installer. Check all relevant codes to make sure that all product certifications, product listings, 

and building regulations are met.

Professional installation practice requires following local utility company guidelines for connecting to AC mains. This unit is for 

professional use only and is not required to comply with EN 61000-3-2:2006. This fan conforms to ANSI/UL standard 507, Electric Fans 

and is certified to CSA STD C22.2 No. 113, Fans & Ventilators.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

 This manual must always be kept with the fan and should remain with the fan if it is transferred 

or sold.  Always give manual to fan owner following installation.
