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 instructions, 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 35 pounds (16 kilograms). The box must be supported directly by the building structure. Use only CETL or CUL in Canada or ETL or UL in USA listed outlet boxes marked “FOR FAN SUPPORT.”

   • WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount to the 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. 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 corresponding fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.

5. Electrical diagrams are for reference only.

6. After installation is complete, check that all connections are absolutely secure.

7. 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 fire or electrical shock, 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 the fan.] (Note: This fan is suitable for use with remote control.)

8. Do not operate the reverse switch until the fan has come to a complete stop.

9. [ Note: If using a remote control with reverse capability, reverse fan blade direction only when on LOW speed.]

10. 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 arms during assembly or after installation. Do not insert objects into the path
      of the blades.
      WARNING: To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items, be cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.

11. Do not use water or detergents when cleaning the fan or fan blades. 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.

    • WARNING: This fan MUST be installed with the safety cable provided with the fan. Failure to use the safety cable provided may result in personal
      injury, damage to the fan, or damage to other property.

To prevent personal injury and damage, ensure that the hanging location allows the blades a clearance of 7 feet (2.13m) from the floor and 30in. (76cm) from any wall or obstruction. This fan is suitable for room sizes up to 100 square feet (9.3 square meters). This fan can be mounted with a downrod on a regular (no-slope) or vaulted ceiling. The hanging length can be extended by purchasing a longer downrod (0.5in./1.27cm diameter) than the ones provided. Other installation, such as , is not available for this fan. Installation requires these tools: Phillips screwdriver, flathead screwdriver, adjustable pliers or wrench, stepladder, wire cutters, and rated electrical tape .

Hanging Bracket Installation.

Turn off circuit breakers to the current fixture from the breaker panel and be sure the operating light switch is turned to the OFF position.

• WARNING: Failure to disconnect the power supply prior to installation may result in serious injury. Remove existing fixtures.
• WARNING: When using an existing outlet box, be sure the outlet box is securely attached to the building structure and can support the full weight of the fan. Ensure the outlet box is clearly marked “Suitable for Fan Support.” If not, it must be replaced with an approved outlet box. Failure to do so can result in serious injury.
• CAUTION: Be sure the outlet box is grounded properly and that a ground wire ( GREEN or bare) is present. Install hanging bracket to outlet box, using original screws, spring washers, and flat washers provided with new or original outlet box.* If installing on a vaulted ceiling, face opening of hanging bracket towards the high point of ceiling. Arrange electrical wiring around the back of the hanging bracket and away from the bracket opening.

Note: It is very important that you use the proper hardware when installing the hanging bracket as this will support the fan.
