Pre-Installation Checks

IMPORTANT: Consult all applicable national, state
and local codes to ensure that all necessary code
requirements are met. It is the sole responsibility of the
installer to ensure compliance with applicable codes.
Prior to installing the fan, perform each of the following
checks:
1. Verify that fan components are undamaged. Do not
install or operate any damaged fan components,
fans, or fan accessories. Failure to comply with
this instruction may result in property damage,
personal injury and/or death.
2. Verify that the fan is to be installed in a location
where the airfoils will be a minimum of 7 feet
above the finished floor with a minimum of 3
feet of horizontal and vertical clearance to any
obstructions.
3. Verify that the fan is to be installed in a location
where the center of the fan is a minimum of 1.5 fan
diameters away from building walls and corners.
4. For best performance, the fan must be installed
with a two fan diameter minimum clearance to
radiant heaters and HVAC system discharges or
intakes.
5. Check that the fan will not be mounted in a location
near overhead doors or other building openings
where gusts of wind may occur. Fan should not
be installed or operated in locations where wind is
present.
6. Check to see if the intended placement of the fan
is directly below any building lights or skylights. If
possible, avoid installing fan directly below a light
source to prevent a strobing effect that can be
caused by fan rotation.
6 Overhead Ceiling Fans
7. If the building has a mezzanine or other elevated
spaces that may be occupied by people, verify that
no component of the fan can be reached from the
highest level or deck. The fan must be positioned
so that the tips of the airfoils are a minimum of 3
ft. away from the furthest point that a person could
reach or otherwise come in contact, to prevent
injury.
8. If the fan is to be mounted in an area where
materials or equipment may be elevated into its
path, ensure that the floor is marked or painted
to alert personnel of the overhead location of the
fan(s).
9. Before installation, it is important to verify that the
mounting surface will bear the operating weight
and maximum torque (twisting force) of the unit.
The Structural Engineer of Record (SEOR) must
perform a thorough evaluation of the mounting
structure and determine all final mounting
requirements before the fan is installed. It is the
sole responsibility of the installer to ensure that the
mounting structure and fan installation method are
adequate for safe operation of the fan.
