IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
WARNING: Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable
codes and standards.
WARNING: When cutting or drilling into a wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
CAUTION: The installation of a Big Ass Fan must be in accordance with the requirements specified in this installation
manual and with any additional requirements set forth by the National Electric Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70-2014, and all
local codes. Code compliance is ultimately YOUR responsibility!
WARNING: The fan VFDs contain high voltage capacitors that take time to discharge after removal of mains supply.
Before working on the VFD, ensure isolation of mains supply from line inputs at the VFD's disconnect. Wait three (3)
minutes for capacitors to discharge to safe voltage levels. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death. NOTE:
Darkened display LEDs are not an indication of safe voltage levels.
CAUTION: Exercise caution and common sense when powering the fan. Do not connect the fan to a damaged or hazardous
power source. Do not attempt to resolve electrical malfunctions or failures on your own. Contact Big Ass Fans if you have
any questions regarding the electrical installation of this fan.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, Big Ass Fans must be installed with Big Ass
Fan supplied controllers that are marked (on their cartons) to indicate the suitability with this model. Other parts cannot
be substituted.
CAUTION: When service or replacement of a component in the fan requires the removal or disconnection of a safety
device, the safety device is to be reinstalled or remounted as previously installed.
WARNING: Risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons during cleaning and user-maintenance! Disconnect the
appliance from the power supply before servicing.

CAUTION: Do not bend the airfoils when installing, adjusting, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects between
rotating airfoils.
WARNING: Stay alert and use common sense when installing fans. Do not install fans if tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while installing fans may result in serious personal injury.
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.

of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
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 (91.4 cm).
• The fan must be interlocked to shut down immediately upon receiving a waterflow signal from the alarm system.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount directly to a structural framing member.
Leave this installation guide with the owner of the fan after installation is complete.
