SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Rev 2.0

Please observe the following general safety precautions carefully before and during all phases of
handling, installation, removal, operation and maintenance of this appliance. Failure to comply with
these precautions violates safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the product.
Mercator Lighting assumes no liability for customer’s failure to comply with these requirements.

SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Read all instructions and safety information. Review assembly diagrams provided before
installing your new ceiling fan.

2. This fan must be installed by a licensed and qualified electrician according to SAA and
local authority regulations.

3. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.

4. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

5. All electrical works must only be undertaken after disconnection of the power by
removing fuses or turning off the circuit breaker, to ensure all pole isolation of the
electrical supply.

6. Do not use outdoors where it could be exposed to water or moisture.

7. This manual is not intended to instruct or assist untrained or unqualified persons to install this
ceiling fan.

8. It is the responsibility of qualified, licensed installer and user to apply common sense
and care at all times during installation and operation.

HOW TO CHOOSE A PROPER LOCATION FOR CEILING FAN

1. According to regulations and to provide a safe clearance from the floor, the lowest point on the
fan blade must be at least 2.1 metres (7 feet) from the floor.

2. For fan installed enclosed outdoors, the fan must be installed at least 1.5m from the perimeter
of roof/eaves of the enclosure to protect the product from direct or indirect rain water or
sunlight.

3. Please check carefully and make sure that ceiling joists are strong enough and of adequate size
to support the weight of about 35 kg.

4. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, please make sure that the fan
mounting bracket is directly supported from the building structure. Do not mount to an outlet
box.

5. The mounting bracket must be firmly screwed to a load bearing building structure e.g. a
concrete ceiling, steel structure, or a timber frame. If additional timber frames are to be added,
those must be securely nailed or screwed between the beams.

6. Attach fan blades after the fan motor housing is installed and properly secured. Keep the fan
motor and blades in the original package until it is ready to be installed.

7. Check and confirm, after the fan is completely installed, that all connections are proper and
secure to prevent the fan from falling or causing property damages or personal injury.

8. Take care not to bend or damage the motor Drive Shaft or Fan Blades when handling or
installing them. If such defect is noticed, please contact the Customer Service before
installation of the ceiling fan.

9. Both the fan with light kit (accessory) and the hanging bracket must be earthed.

10. Use of an unapproved wall controller voids the warranty. Only Mercator wall controllers are
approved for use with Mercator ceiling fans. Do not use solid state wall controllers.

11. This fan is compatible with some HOME IT systems. Please contact Mercator for further details.

12. Do not remove the fan from the ceiling after installation.

13. Make sure electricity is turned off at the main power box before commencing work. Turn off
the power by removing fuse or turning off circuit breaker before installing the fan and
replacing lamps.
