Caution:
Fan systems include rotating components and electrical devices. Proper care must be taken during installation
and maintenance of all fan system components to protect personnel. This includes, but is not limited to the use
of protective enclosures, guards, locking devices to stop rotating parts, and electrical disconnect lock-outs. Refer
to applicable local codes to ensure compliance for all protective devices.
Fans create a suction at the inlet. Care should be taken around the inlet of the fan, whether it is in operation
or not. Make sure the inlet area is clear prior to energizing the system. This includes all personnel and loose,
foreign objects.
