1. SAFETY RULES
1. Before you begin installing the fan,
shut power off at the circuit breaker of
the fuse box.
2. Be cautious! Read all instructions
and safety information before installing
your new fan. Review accompanying
assembly diagrams.
3. Make sure that all electrical
connections comply with local codes,
ordinances, or National Electrical
Codes. Hire a qualified electrician or
consult a do-it-yourself wiring
handbook if you are unfamiliar with
installing electrical wiring.
4. Make sure the installation site you
choose allows the fan blades to rotate
without any obstructions. Allow a
minimum clearance of 7 feet from the
floor and 18 inches from the tip of the
blades to the wall.
5. If you are mounting the fan to a
ceiling fan outlet box, use a U.L. Listed
metal octagonal outlet box marked
"Acceptable for Fan Support". Secure
the box directly to the building
structure. The outlet box and its
support must be able to support the
moving weight of the fan (at least 50
pounds) Do not use a plastic box.
6. Caution: To reduce the risk of
injury use only the screws provided
with the outlet box in conjunction
with the lock washers provided with
the fan.
7. If you are mounting the fan to a
joist, make sure it is able to support the
moving weight of the fan (at least 50
pounds).
8. After you install the fan, make sure
that all mounting components are
secured to prevent the fan from falling.
9. Do not insert anything into the fan
blades while the fan is operating.
10. Turn the fan off and wait for the
blades to stop completely before
changing the fan direction.
NOTE: The important safeguards and
instructions appearing in this manual
are not meant to cover all possible
conditions and situations that may
occur. It must be understood that
common sense, caution and care are
factors which can not be built into this
product. These factors must be
supplied by the person (s) installing,
caring for and operating the unit.
