3. SAFETY RULES
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, insure
electricity has been turned off at the
circuit breaker or fuse box before
beginning.
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.
3. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical
shock and fire, do not use this fan with
any solid-state fan speed control device.
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.
5. The outlet box and support structure must
be securely mounted and capable of
reliably supporting a minimum of 50
pounds. Use only CUL Listed outlet boxes
marked "FOR FAN SUPPORT".
6. The fan must be mounted with a minimum
of 7 feet clearance from the trailing edge
of the blades to the floor.
7. Do not operate reversing switch while fan
blades are in motion. Fan must be turned
off and blades stopped before reversing
blade direction.
8. Avoid placing objects in the path of the
blades.
9. 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.
11. After marking electrical connections,
spliced conductors should be turned
upward and pushed carefully up into
outlet box. The wires should be spread
apart with the grounded conductor and
the equipment-grounding conductor on
one side of the outlet box.
12. Electrical diagrams are reference only.
Light kit that are not packed with the fan
must be CUL Listed and marked suitable
for use with the model fan you are
installing. Switches must be CUL General
Use Switches. Refer to the Instructions
packaged with the light kits and switches
for proper assembly.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT FAN
TO OUTLET BOX MARKED "ACCEPTABLE
FOR FAN SUPPORT".
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY,
DO NOT BEND THE BLADE BRACKETS (ALSO
REFERRED TO AS FLANGES) DURING
ASSEMBLY OR AFTER INSTALLATION. DO NOT
INSERT OBJECTS IN THE PATH OF THE BLADES.
ATTENTION
Under the Energy Policy Act of 2005,
federal regulations require all ceiling fans
with light kits manufactured or imported
after January 1, 2009, to limit the total
wattage consumed by the light kit to 190
watts. Therefore, this product is equipped
with a 190W limiting device. If lamping
exceeds 190 watts, the light kit will shut
off automatically until the proper wattage
of bulbs are installed. Reset the light kit by
turning it off, replacing the bulbs with the
correct wattage, and then turning the
light kit back on.

4. MOUNTING OPTIONS
If there isn't an existing CUL listed
mounting box, then read the following
instructions. Disconnect the power by
removing fuses or turning off circuit
breakers.
Secure the outlet box directly to the
building structure. Use appropriate
fasteners and building materials. The
outlet box and its support must be able to
fully support the moving weight of the fan
(at least 50 lbs). Do not use plastic outlet
boxes.
Figures 1,2 and 3 are examples of different
ways to mount the outlet box.
Note: You may need a longer downrod to
maintain proper blade clearance when
installing on a steep, sloped ceiling. (Fig. 3)
