couldleadtoelectricalshock,reorotherinjuriesthatcouldbehazardousorevenfatal.
• DONOTconnectthisxturetoanelectricalsystemthatdoesnotprovideameansforequipment
grounding.Neveruseaxtureinatwo-wiresystemthatisnotgrounded.Installingaxtureinto
anelectricalsystemnothavingapropergroundingmeanscouldcausemetalpartsofthexture
tocarryelectricalcurrentsifanyofthexturewires,wireconnectionsorsplicesweretobecome
broken,cutorlooseduringthemountingornormaloperationofthexture.Underthiscondition,
anyonecomingincontactwiththexturewouldbesubjecttoelectricalshock,whichcouldcause
seriousinjuryordeath.
• DONOTconnectthebareorgreeninsulationxturegroundwiretotheblack(hot)current-carrying
wireorthewhiteneutralhousewire.Connectionofthebareorgreenxturegroundwiretothe
blackorwhitehousewiresmaycausemetalpartsofthexturetocarryelectricalcurrents.Under
thisconditionanyonecomingincontactwiththexturewillreceiveelectricalshock,whichcould
causeseriousinjuryordeath.
• DONOTdamageorcutthewireinsulation(covering)duringinstallationofthexture.DONOT
permit wires to contact any surface having a sharp edge. To do so may damage or cut the wire
insulation,whichcouldcauseseriousinjuryordeathfromelectricalshock.
WARNING:
• All electrical connections must be in agreement with local codes and ordinances, the National
Electric Code (NEC) and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. Contact your municipal building department to learn
aboutyourlocalcodes,permitsand/orinspections.Riskofre-mostdwellingsbuiltbefore1985
havesupplywireratedfor140°F.Consultaqualiedelectricianbeforeinstallation.
• Toavoidpersonalinjury,theuseofglovesmaybenecessarywhilehandlingxturepartswithsharp
edges.
• DONOTsuspendanyxturebythehousewires.Axturemustalwaysbemounteddirectlytoa
ceiling fan that is mounted directly to an outlet box. Wire connectors will not support the weight of a
xture.Suspendingaxturebythehousewiresandwireconnectorswillresultinthexturefalling,
withthepossibilityofpersonalinjuryandthedangerofelectricalshockorre.
• Toreducetheriskofre,electricalshock,orpersonalinjury,eachwireconnectorusedwiththis
light kit should accept only one 18-gauge wire from the light kit and one 18-gauge wire from the
ceiling fan. If there are three or more wires to connect or any of the wires is larger than 18 gauges,
consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.
