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
installation.
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING
THE ACCESSORY AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. BE SURE TO HAVE AVAILABLE ALL
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE FAN YOU HAVE INSTALLED.
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary
while handling 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. The outlet box and ceiling support joist used must be securely mounted, and capable of supporting at least 35 pounds (15.9 kilograms). The outlet box must be supported directly by the building structure.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount to an 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 as well as the screws and washers included with this accessory. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and will need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt. [See section 3, page 3 for additional information.]
4. After installation is complete, check that all connections are absolutely secure.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, DO NOT use power tools to assemble any part of the canopy locking system (or your fan, including the blades).
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only parts provided with this close mount adapter. The use of parts OTHER than those provided with this canopy locking system will void the warranty.
