SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install
the product. If you have any questions regarding the product, please call customer service at

Before you begin installing the fan, disconnect the power by removing fuses or turning off circuit
breakers.
Make sure that all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, or the National
Electrical code. Hire a qualified electrician or consult a do-it-yourself wiring hand-book if you are
unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.
Make sure the installation site you choose allows a minimum clearance of 7 ft. from the blades
to the floor and at least 30 in. from the ends of the blades to any obstruction.
If you are mounting the fan to a ceiling outlet box, use a METAL octagonal outlet box.
Secure the box directly to the building structure. The outlet box and its support must be able to
support the moving weight of the fan (at least 35 lbs.) Do NOT use a plastic outlet box.
After you install the fan, make sure that all connections are secure to prevent the fan from falling.
Instructions for supply connections: conductor of a fan identified as grounded conductor to be
connected to a grounded conductor of power supply; conductor of a fan identified for equipment
grounding to be connected to an equipment-grounding conductor.
Do not install or use fan if any part is damaged or missing.
WARNING
Read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan.
Review accompanying assembly diagrams.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, wire connectors provided
with this fan are designed to accept only one 12 gauge house wire and two lead wires
from the fan. If your house wire is larger than 12 gauge or there is more than one house
wire to connect to the two fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire
connectors to use.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, do not bend the blade arms
when installing them, balancing the blades, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign
objects between the rotating fan blades. Mount to outlet box marked “ACCEPTABLE
FOR FAN SUPPORT” and use mounting screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet
boxes commonly used for the support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan sup-
port and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
