SAFETY TIPS
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 instruction 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
50 Pounds (23 kilograms). The outlet box must be supported directly by the building structure. Make sure the
electrical box that will hold the ceiling fan is fan-rated. There should be an inscription on the box indicating it.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount to the outlet box marked
“Acceptable for Fan Support,” 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 two fan lead wires, consult an electrician
for the proper size wire connectors to use.
5. 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 electrical shock, fire and to prevent humming noise 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.
7. Do not operate the reverse switch until fan has come to a complete stop.
8. 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 brackets when installing the brackets,
balancing the blades, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items, be cautious when working around or
cleaning the fan.
9. 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.
NOTE: The important safety precautions and instructions appearing in the manual are not meant to cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense and caution are
necessary factors in the installation and operation of this fan.
