GENERAL INSTALLATION & OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
1 To ensure the success of the installation, be sure to read the instructions and review the diagrams thoroughly before beginning.
To avoid possible electric shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main power box before wiring. All electrical connections
2
must be made in accordance with local codes, ordinances and/or the National Electric Code. If you are unfamiliar with the
methods of installing electrical wiring and products, secure the services of a qualified and licensed electrician as well as
someone who can check the strength of the supportive ceiling members and make the proper installation(s) and connections.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or other personal injury, mount fan only on an outlet box or supporting system
3
marked acceptable for fan support of 35 lbs (15.9 kg) or less and use 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.
Make sure that your installation site will not allow rotating fan blades to come in contact with any object. Blades should be at least
4
7 feet from floor.
Blades should be attached after motor housing is hung and in place. Fan motor housing should be kept in the carton until ready
5
to be installed to protect its finish. If you are installing more than one ceiling fan, make sure that you do not mix fan blade sets, as
each blade is part of a weighted set.
After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into outlet box. The
6
wires should be spread apart with the common conductor and the grounding conductor on one side of the outlet box, and the
"HOT" wires on the other side.
Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that are not packed with the fan must be UL listed and should be installed
7
per the light kit's installation instructions.
After fan is completely installed, check to make sure that all connections are secure to prevent fan from falling and/or causing
8
damage or injury.
The fan can be made to work immediately after installation - the bearings are adequately charged with grease so that, under
9
normal conditions, further lubrication should not be necessary for the life of the fan.
Do not operate the reverse switch while the fan blades are in motion. The fan must be turned off and the blades stopped before
10
reversing the blades direction.
