SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The information contained in the following pages has been prepared to ensure you of trouble-free operation for your
ceiling fan.
1.
To ensure the success of the installation, please read the instructions and study the diagrams carefully.
2.
For your safety, all electrical connection and disconnection must be performed by a licensed electrician.
3.
All electrical work should only be undertaken after disconnection of the power by removing fuses or turning off the
circuit breaker to ensure all pole isolation of the electrical supply. If you are in any doubt, a licensed electrician
should be sought to ensure that all work is carried out in accordance with local regulations, current good practice
and other national and local electrical codes.
4.
Make sure that your installation location will not allow the rotating fan blades to come into contact with any objects
and that there is a minimum clearance of 30cm from the blade tip to the wall or nearest object. Please note that the
bigger this clearance is, the better the airflow from your fan will be. Ensure the blades are mounted at a minimum
height of 2.1 meters from the floor when the fan is installed.
5.
The fixing point for the fan must be able to support a weight of at least 40kg. If you are mounting the fan to a ceiling
junction box, the box and it’s fixing must be able to support the moving weight of the fan and must not twist or work
loose.
6.
The fan must be earthed.
7.
Do not connect the fan motor to a dimmer switch. This may give an unsatisfactory performance (motor hum) and
cause damage to the motor. Only use the supplied wall controller.
8.
It is not recommended that ceiling fans and gas appliances be operated in the same room at the same time.
9.
The fan must be turned off and stopped completely before reversing the fan direction. This will prevent any damage
to the motor of the unit or controller (if installed).
10. Do not insert anything into the fan blades while the fan is operating. This may cause person injury, damage the
blades and upset the balance of the unit causing the unit to wobble.
11. After the fan is completely installed, make sure that all connections are secure and tightened to prevent any
problems.
12. Because of the fans natural movement, some connections may loosen. Check the support connections, brackets
and blade attachments twice a year to make sure they are all secured. If they are loose, tighten with a screwdriver.
Note:
The important safeguards and instructions given in this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and
situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense, caution and care are factors, which cannot be built
into any product. The persons caring for and using the unit must supply these factors.
WARNING: FOR SAFE USE OF THIS FAN AN ALL-POLE
DISCONNECTION SWITCH MUST BE INCORPORATED INTO THE
FIXED WIRING.
This is in accordance with the latest Standard AS/NZS 3000.
Please note warranty will be void if installed without an all-pole disconnection switch.
