IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manu-
facturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.
Before beginning installation, read and understand all
instructions and safety information. Thoroughly review
all assembly information and drawings and be sure you
understand the assembly requirements.
Before installing, servicing, or cleaning unit, switch power
off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting
means to prevent power from being switched on acci-
dentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot
be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device,
such as a tag, to the service panel.
Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by
qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable
codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
Installation and wiring must be in accordance with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and all local
codes. If you are unfamiliar with or unable to comply with
these requirements, have ceiling fan installed by a licensed
electrician.
When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage
electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
If this unit is to be installed over a tub or shower, it must
be marked as appropriate for the application and be
connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) —
protected branch circuit.
Do not bend the blade brackets when cleaning the fan. Do
not insert foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.
Mount ceiling fan directly to a structural framing member or
to a metal outlet box marked “Acceptable for Fan Support
of 35 lbs. or less. For outlet box mounting, use mounting
screws provided with the outlet box.
When using an existing outlet box, make sure it is securely
attached to the building structure and can support the full
weight of the fan. Most outlet boxes commonly used for
the support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan
support and would therefore need to be replaced. Do not
use a plastic outlet box. Failure to follow this instruction
can result in serious injury or death.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons, install ceiling fan
so that the blade guard is at least 7 feet above the floor.
Ensure power is off before beginning installation. After
making the wire connections, wires should be spread
apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-
grounding conductor on one side of the outlet box and
the ungrounded conductor on the other side of the outlet
box. Splices should be turned upward and pushed care-
fully up into the outlet box.
Always turn fan off and allow to come to a complete stop
before reversing blade direction.
When installation is complete, make sure all connections
are secure to prevent ceiling fan from falling.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this product.
If you loan someone this product, loan them these
instructions also.
