:
1.
To ensure the success of the installation, be sure to read the instructions and review the diagrams thoroughly
before beginning
.
2.
To avoid possible electric shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main power box before wiring
.
All
electrical connections must be made in accordance with local codes, ordinances and/or the National Electric Code.
If you are unfamiliar with the methods of installing electrical wiring and products, secure the services of a qualified
and licensed electrician as well as someone who can check the strength of the supportive ceiling members and make
the proper installation(s) and connections.
3. Make sure that your installation site will not allow rotating fan blades to come in contact with any object. Blades
should be at least 7 feet from floor when fan is operating.
4. If possible, mount ceiling fan on a ceiling joist - the joist must be able to support the motion and weight of the
moving fan. If the fan will be mounted on a ceiling outlet box, an approved box UL listed as “
suitable for fan
support
” is required. The box and its supporting members must be able to support the moving weight of the fan
(at least 35lbs.). The box must not be able to twist or work loose. Installation on a concrete ceiling should be
performed by qualified personnel.
5. Blades should be attached after motor housing is hung and in place. Fan motor housing should be kept in the carton
until ready to be installed to protect its finish. If you are installing more than one ceiling fan, make sure that you
do not mix fan blade sets
, as each blade is part of a weighted set.
6. After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into
outlet box. The wires should be spread apart with the common conductor and the grounding conductor on one
side of the outlet box, and the “HOT” wires on the other side.
7. Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that are not packed with the fan must be UL listed and should
be installed per the light kit’s installation instructions.
8.
When inserting bulbs, do not exceed the 300-watt maximum. The upper lighting fixture uses four 25-watt
bulbs, leaving the remaining 200 watts for the optional lower light kit.
9. After fan is completely installed, check to make sure that all connections are secure to prevent fan from falling
and/or causing damage or injury.
10. The fan can be made to work immediately after installation – the bearings are adequately charged with grease so
that, under normal conditions, further lubrication should not be necessary for the life of the fan.
11. The fan should be turned off and allowed to stop rotating before reversing fan direction.
