Safety Instructions

panel disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally.
When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a warning
device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

Additional Safety Instructions for Installation
1. To avoid possible shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the fuse box before
wiring, and do not operate fan without blades.
2. All wiring must satisfy National and Local Electrical Codes. Use the National
Electrical Code if Local Codes do not exist. The ceiling fan must be grounded as a
precaution against possible electrical shock. Electrical installation should be made
or approved by a licensed electrician.
