Installation Checklist
Did a structural engineer approve the mounting structure? (See p. 11 for Big Ass Fans
approved mounting structures.)
Do you have the correct safety cable? Are you familiar with its use? (See p. 19 for
information on properly securing the safety cable.)
Will the fan be installed so that the blades are at least 10 ft (3.05 m) above the floor?
Will the fan be installed so that the blades have at least 2 ft (0.61 m) of clearance from
obstructions?
Will the fan be installed so that it is not subjected to high winds (such as from an
HVAC system) or near a large garage door? (The distance between the fan and the HVAC
equipment [or other air-moving equipment] should be no less than 2x the fan's diameter when
measured from the center of the fan to the equipment.)
Will the distance between multiple fans be at least 2.5x the fans' diameter when
measured from the centers of the fans.
If installing on an I-beam, is the upper yoke the correct size? (See p. 11 for more
information on installing the fan on an I-beam.)
If you ordered multiple fans, did you keep the parts of each fan together?
Some motors have the factory label, "This Unit Factory Wired for 460 VAC." If you have
a 200-250V or 100-125V controller, did you rewire the motor for proper use? (See wiring
diagrams on pp. 50-51 for additional information.)
Do you have the correct power circuit for the fan controller? (See p. 28 for information
on selecting the correct circuit/fuse for the fan controller.)
