1. To ensure the success of the installation, be sure to read the instructions and review the diagrams thoroughly
before beginning.
2. To avoid possible electric shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main power box before wiring. All elec-
trical connections 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.
3. Make sure that your installation site will not allow rotating fan blades to come in contact with any object. Blades
should be at least 7 feet from floor when fan is operating.
4. If possible, mount ceiling fan on a ceiling joist - the joist must be able to support the motion and weight of the
moving fan. If the fan will be mounted on a ceiling outlet box, a 4˝ x 2-1/8˝ deep METAL octagon box is required;
one UL listed as "suitable for fan support". The box and its supporting members must be able to support the
moving weight of the fan (at least 35 lbs.). The box must not be able to twist or work loose. DO NOT USE PLAS-
TIC BOXES. Installation on a concrete ceiling should be performed by qualified personnel.
5. *Blades should be attached BEFORE motor housing is hung and in place. To protect its finish, fan motor housing
should be kept in carton until ready to be installed. If you are installing more than one ceiling fan, make sure
that you do not mix fan blade sets.
6. After making 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 con-
ductor on one side of the outlet box, and the hot wire to the other side.
7. Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that are not packed with the fan must be UL listed and should
be installed per the light kit' s installation instructions.
8. After fan is completely installed, check to make sure that all connections are secure to prevent fan from falling
and/or causing damage or injury.
9. The fan can be made to work immediately after installation - the bearings are adequately charged with grease so
that, under normal conditions, further lubrication should not be necessary.
10. The fan must be turned off and stopped before reversing fan direction.
