General Safety Information
Only qualified personnel should install this fan.
Personnel should have a clear understanding of these
instructions and should be aware of general safety
precautions. Improper installation can result in electric
shock, possible injury due to coming in contact with
moving parts, as well as other potential hazards.
Other considerations may be required if high winds
or seismic activity are present. If more information is
needed, contact a licensed professional engineer before
moving forward.
1. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as
the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the National
Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), where applicable.

2. The rotation of the wheel is critical. It must be
free to rotate without striking or rubbing any
stationary objects.

contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces or chemicals.
Replace cord immediately if damaged.
