Important Safety Precautions
2
LOCATION AND INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS FOR YOUR FAN
MECHANICAL ISSUES
To provide adequate clearance from the floor the lowest point on the fan blade must be at least 2.1m (7’)
from the floor.
Note: For a fan mounted directly to the ceiling, the lowest point of the fan blade is approximately 365mm
(14 ½”) below the ceiling.
Make sure that the chosen location of the fan will not allow the rotating fan blade to come into contact with
any object.
Ensure ceiling joists are sound and of adequate size and strength to support a 35Kg (77lb) load.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, ensure that the fan mounting bracket is
supported directly from the building structure. DO NOT mount to an outlet box.
The mounting bracket must be firmly screwed to a load bearing structure e.g. a concrete ceiling, steel
structure or timber frame. If a timber frame is to be added it must be securely nailed or screwed between
two beams.
Do not remove the fan from the ceiling after installation.
Do not attach the Fan Blade before the Fan Motor Housing is installed and secured. To protect the finish,
the Fan Blade and the Fan Motor Housing should be kept in their cartons until ready to be installed.
After the fan is completely installed, check to make sure that all connections are secure to prevent the fan
from falling and/or causing damage or injury.
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend or damage the motor Drive Shaft or Fan Blade when
handling or installing them.

Important Safety Precautions 3
ELECTRICAL ISSUES
Do not attempt to control the operation of this fan from any wall controller that is not approved
by Hunter Pacific International Pty Limited for use with this fan. DO NOT use a solid state wall
controller. The use of an unapproved wall controller voids the warranty.
NOTE
The fan and hanger bracket must be earthed.
The fan can be used in conjunction with some home automation systems. For further information please
contact Hunter Pacific International Pty Limited.
To avoid possible electric shock during installation, be sure electricity is turned off at the main power box
before commencing work. Disconnect power by removing fuse or turning off circuit breaker before
installing the fan. Ensure all spliced connections are adequately insulated.
Nothing in this manual is intended to instruct or assist untrained or unqualified persons to install this
product. Additionally, it is the responsibility of the installer and user to apply common sense and care at all
times.
