OPERATION
1) Upon removing the Fan from its carton, inspect it
for any possible damage in transit. Install plug as
needed.
2) Before operating the Fan, please read all the safety
Precautions and General Safety Information about the
proper and safe use of the Fan.
3) Assess your job site, certain job site locations are
classified as being hazardous because the atmosphere
may contain gas vapor or dust in explosive quantities.
DANGER THE ELECTRIC MOTOR AND
FAN HOUSING ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR
OPERATION IN AN EXPLOSIVE AND/OR
FLAMMABLE ATMOSPHERE OF ANY CLASS
OR GROUP. OPERATION OF THE FAN IN AN
EXPLOSIVE OR FLAMMABLE
ATMOSPHERE MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH.
4) Prior to plugging in the Fan into a grounded outlet,
inspect the inlet and outlet grills and remove debris
which may restrict airflow movement. Never operate
the Fan without the inlet and outlet grills properly
secured and in place. Never replace the grills with
other than factory supplied replacement units.
5) Note the directional
airflow indicator on the
external shell. This is the
way the air moves.
6) Place the Fan on secure footing to prevent it from
shifting while in use.
7) Do not stand directly in
front of and/or face the Fan
outlet. Personal injury can
result from being struck by
debris thrown at a relatively
high velocity from the Fan blade.
8) When ducting is required, do not install duct while
Fan is in operation. Place duct lip over the Fan duct
adapter, secure firmly, and note direction of the
airflow.
9) When duct is used, be aware that the airflow rate
decreases as the length of duct increases. Airflow
rates will vary with specific duct types and
manufactures.
10) Position Fan air inlet away from walls and other
obstructions to allow for maximum air intake
11)
For safe operation, use the Fan only in
combination with thorough gas detection tests and
continual retesting.
