Select a downrod length
w.1 - To reduce the risk of re, electrical shock, or personal
injury, mount fan directly from building structure and/or an
outlet box marked acceptable for fan support of 70 lbs (31.8 kg)
and use the mounting screws provided with the outlet box.
w.2 - To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing or
servicing your fan, disconnect the power by turning off the
circuit breakers to the outlet box and associated wall switch
location. If you cannot lock the circuit breakers in the off

tag, to the service panel.
w.3 - To reduce the risk of re, electrical shock, or motor damage,
use only Casablanca Solid State Speed Controls.
w.4 - To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade
brackets when installing the blade brackets, balancing the blades,
or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects in between
rotating fan blades.
c.1 - All wiring must be in accordance with national and local
electrical codes ANSI/NFPA 70. If you are unfamiliar with wiring,
use a qualied electrician.
