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 electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main power box before wiring. All electrical
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 mounting on a ceiling outlet box, an approved box UL listed as "suitable for fan support" is required.
4.
The box and its supporting members must be able to support the moving weight of the fan's listed weight.
The box must not be able to twist or work loose. Installation on a concrete ceiling should be performed by
qualified personnel.
5. Blades should be attached after motor housing is hung and in place. Fan motor housing should be kept in the carton
until ready 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.
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 common conductor and the grounding conductor on one side of the
outlet box, and the "HOT" wires on 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 for the life of the fan.
10. The fan should be turned off and allowed to stop rotating before reversing fan direction.
ATTENTION: Under the Energy Policy Act of 2005, federal regulations require all ceiling fans with light kits manufactured
or imported after Jauary 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.
