IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
WARNING: Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to
prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten
a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
WARNING: Big Ass Fans must be installed with Big Ass Fan-supplied controllers. Other parts cannot be substituted.
CAUTION: The installation of a Big Ass
Fan must be in accordance with the requirements specified in this installation manual
and with any additional requirements set forth by the National Electric Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70-1999, and all local codes.
Code compliance is ultimately YOUR responsibility! Failure to comply with these codes could result in personal injury or
property damage.
WARNING: The fan controllers contain high voltage capacitors which take time to discharge after removal of mains supply.
Before servicing the fan controller, ensure isolation of mains supply from line inputs at the controller. Wait three minutes for
capacitors to discharge to safe voltage levels. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death. Note: Darkened display
LEDs are not an indication of safe voltage levels.
CAUTION: Exercise caution and common sense when powering the fan. Do not connect the fan to a damaged or hazardous
power source. Do not attempt to resolve electrical malfunctions or failures on your own. Contact Big Ass Fans at 1-877-BIG-
FANS if you have any questions regarding the electrical installation of this fan.
CAUTION: When service or replacement of a component in the fan requires the removal or disconnection of a safety device,
the safety device is to be reinstalled or remounted as previously installed.
WARNING: Risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons during cleaning and user-maintenance! Disconnect the fan from
the power supply before servicing.
CAUTION: Do not bend the airfoils when installing, adjusting, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects between
rotating fan airfoils.
WARNING: Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when installing fans. Do not install fans if tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while installing fans may result in serious
personal injury.
