This fan requires a 120 volt uninterrupted electricity supply. We strongly recommend providing a

dedicated circuit for this fan.

This fan has a factory-installed 10 ft. power cord that originates at the fan-mounted electrical box. Consider this

length when choosing a location for this fan. Depending on the location of existing outlets in the attic, the installation

of an additional outlet may be required.

All wiring and connections must be made according to this manual and acceptable wiring standards. All

local codes must be followed. Consult an electrician if necessary.

This fan’s aluminum construction is corrosion-resistant and extremely durable. However, this fan should never be

handled using any of the aerodynamic brackets that mount the motor within the assembly. These brackets are

highlighted in the illustration below. Always

handle this fan by either its external casing or the motor itself. You can

also handle this fan by its hanging straps, but be careful as their edges are sharp.
