INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
7.1 Pre-Installation Instructions
7.1.1 Select installation site. Check to see that in normal use no object can
come in contact with the rotating fan blades. The mounting site should
also meet the precautions listed in Step 7.3 below.
7.1.2 Installation hardware is included for a standard drywall or plaster ceiling.
You will need a 4" x 1-1/2" or a 4" x 1/2" outlet box and wire nuts (2),
which can be purchased from any hardware store or electrical supply
house.
7.1.3 The fan blades must be mounted
at least 7' above the floor. For
maximum efficiency, they should
not have any obstruction (walls,
posts, etc.) within 24" of the blade
tips. See Figure 1 for mounting
distances.
7.2 Inspection of Fan
7.2.1 Unpack the fan carefully to avoid any damage to the components.
7.2.2 Check for any shipping damage to the motor and the fan blades. If more
than one fan is being installed, keep the matched and balanced fan
blades in sets, as they were shipped. Should one of the fan blades
become damaged during shipment, return all blades in the set for
replacement.
7.2.3 Check contents to be certain it contains a bag of parts.
7.3 Installation of Outlet Box and Rough-In Wiring
CAUTIONS:
Your ceiling fan, when operating, can have a weight plus downdraft of up
to 35 lbs. The following precautions must be taken for safety and to
ensure that your fan is securely mounted to the ceiling.
Be certain electricity is “off” at fuse panel when inspecting or repairing
installation site.
All wiring must meet local and national electrical codes.

box. Mounting must support a total weight of 35 lbs.
