SAFETY TIPS.
page 2
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 seven (7) feet
(2.13 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 CETL (Canada) or ETL (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.
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
: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use
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 personal injury, damage to the fan or damage to other property.
