1. To operate properly the fan must be installed correctly and have adequate intake and exhaust area. To install it you
must know how to use the necessary tools and equipment and understand electrical wiring and the potential hazards.
If uncertain in any of these areas please consult a professional.
2. To avoid injury always disconnect electric power to fan at fuse box or circuit breaker before working on or cleaning the
fan or it controls.
3. All wiring must conform to the National Electric code and applicable local codes. The electrical installation should be
approved by a licensed electrician.
4. This fan must be connected to a 120 volt 60 HZ grounded circuit only. Do not use an extension cord.
5. The fan should be supplied by an individual 15 amp protected circuit so that it may be disconnected for servicing and
during winter months when it may be covered to prevent heat loss.
6. Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use any solid-state speed control device with these fans. A
2-speed wall switch (*25W) is provided with the fan.
7. If a thermostat is used to control the fan, a manual timer or other switch with an "OFF" position must also be connected
in the circuit to assure that the fan will not automatically cycle on while the house is closed.
8. The fan has an unguarded fan blade and is intended for use in locations not really accessible. If fan is likely to be
accessible by people or animals, make a guard of wire mesh screen supported over a frame, which will assure a 4
inch clearance from the fan blades and belt.
9. ALWAYS INSTALL THE FAN BEHIND AUTOMATIC SHUTTERS FOR PROTECTION FROM BODILY INJURY AND
FROM RAIN IF IT IS INSTALLED ON A WALL.
10. Do not operate this fan without first opening house doors or windows to provide adequate ventilating air intake.
Inadequate intake area may impair flue gas ventilation of gas or oil fired equipment. Flames and soot may be
drawn into the house.
11. Do not operate the fan in an attic where gas or oil filled equipment is in operation as it may interfere with flue gas
ventilation.
