READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION
WARNING: Electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.
CAUTION: The installation of a Big Ass Fan must be in accordance with the requirements specified in this installation
manual and with any additional requirements set forth by the national electric code (NEC) and all local codes.
CAUTION: When service or replacement of a component in the fan requires the removal or disconnection of a safety
device, the safety device is to be reinstalled or remounted as previously installed.
CAUTION: Do not bend the blades when installing, adjusting, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects between
rotating blades.
CAUTION: Some fans can generate sound that could be hazardous to personnel. It is the responsibility of the user to
measure the sound levels of the fan and/or system, determine the degree of personnel exposure, and comply with all
applicable safety laws and requirements to protect personnel from excessive noise.
WARNING: In addition to normal dangers of rotating machinery, the fan can present additional hazards from the suction
of pressure created at the fan inlet or discharge. Suction at the fan inlet can draw materials into the fan where they can
become high velocity projectiles at the discharge and cause severe personal injury or death.
WARNING: Never operate the fan without the inlet and outlet cage guards in place. If these guards become defective or
are removed, the power to the motor should be turned off and locked out until the cage guards have been replaced and
inspected by the proper safety personnel.
WARNING: Some fans, fan components, and all motors operate at temperatures that could burn someone if they come
in contact with them. If this potential hazard could exist in your installation, steps must be taken by the user to protect
anyone from coming in contact with this equipment.
WARNING: No guarantee of any level of spark resistance is implied by spark resistant construction. Airstream material
and debris or other system factors can also cause sparks.
