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.
CAUTION
: To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with sharp edges.
2. Make sure all electrical connections comply with Local Codes or Ordinances, the National Electrical Code, and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999.
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 ten (10) feet (3.05
meters) of clearance between the floor and the fan blade tips. The fan should be mounted so that the tips of the blades are 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 outlet box must be supported directly by the building structure. Use only CUL (Canada) or UL (USA) 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 of
15.9 kg (35 lb) or less," 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 corresponding 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 CUL (Canada) or UL (USA) listed and
marked suitable for use with the model fan you are installing. Switches must be CUL (Canada) or UL (USA) 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 fire or electrical shock, do not use this fan with any solid state speed control device or control fan speed
with a full range dimmer switch. [Using a full range dimmer switch to control fan speed will cause a loud humming noise from fan.]
8. Do not operate the reverse switch until the fan has come to a complete stop. [
Note
: If using remote control with reverse capability,
reverse fan blade direction
only
when on LOW speed.]
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.
WARNING

only
parts provided with this fan.
The use of parts
OTHER
than those provided
with this fan will void the warranty.
WARNING
:
This fan MUST be installed with the safety cable provided with the fan. Failure to use the safety cable provided may result in
