Step 11: Operation of Fan
A. Turn electrical service on at main panel.
B. Switch operates in this sequence: “high,” “medium,”
“low,” “off.” Pull chain slowly to operate. Also, release
the chain slowly so as to prevent chain from flying up
into blades, possibly resulting in damage to blades or
pull chain. The breakaway connector is designed to
separate from the chain at a predetermined force. If
this separation occurs, simply reinsert connector. It can
be reused again and again.
C. Motor is electrically reversible. When first operating fan,
determine direction of air flow. If you wish to change
direction, switch fan off and allow to stop. Slide revers-
ing switch to the opposite position and switch fan back
on.
