SAFETY TIPS.
page 1
WARNING
: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, turn off the electricity to the fan at the main fuse box
or circuit panel before you begin the fan installation or before servicing the fan or installing accessories.
1. Read all instructions and safety information carefully before installing your fan and save these
instructions.
2. Make sure all electrical connections comply with Local Codes or Ordinances and the National
Electrical Code. If you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring or if the house/building wires are
different colors than those referred to in the instructions, please use a qualified electrician.
3. Make sure you have a location selected for your fan that allows clear space for the blades to
rotate, and at least seven (7) feet (2.13 meters) of clearance between the floor and the fan blade
tips. The fan should be mounted at least thirty (30) inches (76 centimeters) from walls or other
upright structures.
4. The outlet box and ceiling support joist used must be securely mounted, and capable of
supporting at least 35 pounds (16 kilograms). The box must be supported directly by the
building structure. Use only UL listed outlet boxes marked "FOR FAN SUPPORT."
WARNING
: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount to the 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.
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 gauge 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.
5. Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that are not packed with the fan must be UL
listed and marked suitable for use with the model fan you are installing. Switches must be UL
general use switches. Refer to the instructions packaged with the light kits and switches for
proper assembly.
6. After installation is complete, check that all connections are absolutely secure.
7. After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed
carefully up into the outlet box. The wires should be spread apart with the grounded
conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on opposite sides of the outlet box.
WARNING
: To reduce the risk of electrical shock and fire, do not use this fan with any variable (rheostat)
wall control. (
Note
: This fan
is
suitable for use with remote control devices.)
8. Do not operate the reverse switch until the fan has come to a complete stop.
9. Do not insert anything between the fan blades while they are rotating.
WARNING
: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade arms during assembly or after
installation. Do not insert objects into the path of the blades.
WARNING
: To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items, be cautious when working
around or cleaning the fan.
10. Do not use water or detergents when cleaning the fan or fan blades. A dry dust cloth or lightly
dampened cloth will be suitable for most cleaning.
NOTE
: The important safety precautions and instructions appearing in the manual are not meant to
cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense
and caution are necessary factors in the installation and operation of this fan.
