To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity 

is turned off at the main fuse box before hanging and

wiring. (Figure 1)

WARNING

The fan must be hung with at least 7´ of clearance

capable of withstanding a load of at least 35 lbs. 

Failure to verify that the screws are properly installed 

could result in the fan falling.

CAUTION

Do not connect fan blades until the fan is completely

installed. Hanging fan with blades connected may 

result in damage to the fan blades.
