BIG ASS FANS Basic 6 Manuel D'installation page 4

WARNING—TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
WARNING: Disconnect power to the installation locations before installing the fan and controller!
WARNING: Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and
standards, including fire-rated construction. Incorrect assembly can cause electric shock or damage the motor and the controller.
WARNING: Installation must be in accordance with the requirements set forth by the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70, and
all national and local codes.
WARNING: The fan should not be installed unless the structure on which it is to be mounted is of sound construction, undamaged, and
capable of supporting the load of the fan and its method of mounting. A structural engineer should verify the structure is adequate prior
to installation. Verifying the stability of the mounting structure is the sole responsibility of the customer and/or end user, and Big Ass
Fans hereby expressly disclaims any liability arising therefrom, or arising from the use of any materials or hardware other than those
supplied by Big Ass Fans or otherwise specified in these installation instructions.
WARNING: The fan must be installed with parts that are marked (on their cartons) to indicate suitability with this model. Other similar
parts cannot be substituted.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, Big Ass Fans must be installed with Big Ass Fans-supplied
controllers. Other parts cannot be substituted.
CAUTION: For VFDs that do not contain fusing, power must be supplied via a dedicated circuit breaker, properly fused disconnect, or
other suitable means of branch circuit, short circuit, and ground fault protection. Refer to your national and local electrical codes for
requirements.
ATTENTION: If installing the fan in the United States, the fan must be installed per the following National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) guidelines:
• The fan must be centered approximately between four adjacent sprinklers.
• The vertical distance from the fan to the sprinkler deflector must be at least 3 ft (914 mm).
• The fan must be interlocked to shut down immediately upon receiving a waterflow signal from the alarm system.
WARNING: Ensure there are no persons below the fan during installation.
WARNING: When cutting or drilling into a wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
CAUTION: The main fan unit is heavy. Use caution when raising it. A suitable means for lifting the weight of the fan, such as a scissor
lift, and at least two installation personnel will be required.
WARNING: The fan VFD contains high voltage capacitors which take time to discharge after removal of mains supply. Before working
on the VFD, ensure isolation of main supply from line inputs at the VFD or fan controller's disconnect. Wait three minutes for capacitors
to discharge to safe voltage levels. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death. Darkened display LEDs are not an indication
of safe voltage levels.
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: Do not bend the airfoils when installing, servicing, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects between rotating airfoils.
CAUTION: Mounting of the suspension system and replacement of parts of the safety suspension system shall be performed by the
manufacturer, its service agent, or suitably qualified persons.
WARNING: Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.
WARNING: If unusual oscillating movement is observed, immediately stop using the ceiling fan and contact the manufacturer, its service
agent, or suitably qualified persons.
CAUTION: Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug. Discard fan or return to an authorized service facility for examination
and/or repair.
WARNING: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
WARNING: Risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons during cleaning and user maintenance. Disconnect the appliance from the
power supply before servicing.
WARNING: Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off 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 prominent
warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
WARNING: When service or replacement of a fan component requires the removal or disconnection of a safety device, the safety device
is to be reinstalled or remounted as previously installed.
CAUTION: The Big Ass Fans product warranty will not cover equipment damage or failure that is caused by improper installation or use.
