4.0. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The GB/JetLine
®
blowers and Blo-Vac™ systems require a
120 V, 60 Hz, 15 A circuit; with the exception of the B3000
power unit which requires a 120 V, 60 Hz, 30 A circuit; and
must be grounded. If the power unit should malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
the electrical current to reduce the risk of electrical shock.
These power units are equipped with a cord that has a
grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be
inserted into an outlet that is properly grounded in
accordance with all codes and ordinances. See Figure 1.
CAUTION: Improper connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service
person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with
the Blo-Vac™. If it will not fit the outlet, have the correct
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
5.0 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
6.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
GB/JetLine
®
Blowers and Blo-Vac™ systems are designed to
provide a convenient means of installing pull line in a “sealed”
conduit. “Sealed” conduit for this purpose is considered EMT
conduit with compression type couplings, rigid conduit with
threaded joints, or PVC conduit with adhesive bonded joints.
Conduit with set screw type couplings does not effectively
seal joints and substantial air or vacuum loss occurs making it
difficult to maintain pressure or vacuum to place a line in
the conduit.
