SAFETY TIPS.
page 1
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 outlet 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 lbs) 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. Light kits that are not packed with the fan must be ETL or UL listed
and marked suitable for use with the model fan you are installing. Switches must be ETL or UL general use
switches. Refer to the instructions packaged with the light kits and switches for proper assembly.
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 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. 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.
10. Do not use water or detergents when cleaning the fan or fan blades.A dry dust cloth or lightly dampened cloth
will be suitable for most cleaning.
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.
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.
NOTE: The important safety precautions and instructions appearing in the manual are not meant to cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense and caution are necessary
factors in the installation and operation of this fan.

Tip: Seek the help of another person to hold the
stepladder in place and to lift the fan up to you once
you are set on the ladder.
Find a secure attachment point (wood ceiling joist
highly recommended) and secure safety cable. It will be
necessary to use a heavy duty wood screw, washer and
lock washer (not supplied) with the safety cable loop. If
necessary, adjust the loop at the end of the safety cable.
The loop at the end of the safety cable should just fit
over the threads on the wood screw. Test safety cable by
pulling on loose end of cable with pliers. If the safety cable
slips,the loop must be adjusted tighter. Extra cable slack
can be left in ceiling area.
6.Wiring.
