a. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and

standards.

b. When cutting or drilling into a wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring or other hidden utilities.

c. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.

d. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch off power at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent

power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a

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), ANSI/NFPA 70-2011, and all local codes. Code

compliance is ultimately YOUR responsibility! Failure to comply with these codes could result in personal injury or property

damage.

WARNING: The fan controllers contain high voltage capacitors which take time to discharge after removal of mains supply.

Before working on the fan controller, ensure isolation of mains supply from line inputs at the fan controller's disconnect (L1,

L2/N, L3). Wait three (3) minutes for capacitors to discharge to safe voltage levels. Failure to do so may result in personal injury

or death. NOTE: Darkened display LEDs are not an indication of safe voltage levels.

CAUTION: Exercise caution and common sense when powering the fan. Do not connect the fan to a damaged or hazardous

power source. Do not attempt to resolve electrical malfunctions or failures on your own. Contact Big Ass Fans if you have any

questions regarding the electrical installation of this fan.

Suitable for use with solid-state speed controls.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, Big Ass Fans must be installed with Big Ass

Fan-supplied controllers that are marked (on their cartons) to indicate the suitability with this model. Other parts cannot be

substituted.

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.

WARNING: Risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons during cleaning and user maintenance! Disconnect the appliance

from the power supply before servicing.

CAUTION: Do not bend the blades when installing, adjusting, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects in between

WARNING: Stay alert and use common sense when installing fans. Do not install fans if tired or under the influence of drugs,

CAUTION: The installation of this fan requires the use of some power tools. Follow the safety procedures found in the owner's

manual for each of these tools and do not use them for purposes other than those intended by the manufacturer.

CAUTION: The Big Ass Fans product warranty will not cover equipment damage or failure that is caused by improper installation.

CAUTION: The column mount must be installed before attaching the oscillator arm!

CAUTION: Select a location that is free from obstructions that may interfere with the fan's movement. Note that the bottom of the

column mount must be mounted at least 14 ft (4.27 m) from the ground so that the lowest point of the fan is at least 11 ft (3.35 m)
