1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, insure
electricity has been turned off at the circuit

2. All wiring must be in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and local electrical
codes. Electrical installation should be
performed by a qualified licensed
electrician.

4. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal
injury, use only the two steel screws (and
lock washers) provided with the outlet box
for mounting to 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.

of 7 feet clearance from the trailing edge of
the blades to the floor.

spliced conductors should be turned
upward and pushed carefully up into outlet
box. The wires should be spread apart with
the ground wire and white (common) wire
to one side with the black (load) wire to the
