General Safety Information

Only qualified personnel should install this fan.
Personnel should have a clear understanding of these
instructions and should be aware of general safety
precautions. Improper installation can result in electric
shock, possible injury due to coming in contact with
moving parts, as well as other potential hazards.
Other considerations may be required if high winds
or seismic activity is present. If more information is
needed, contact a licensed professional engineer
before moving forward.

1. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as

well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the
National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), where
applicable. Follow the Canadian Electric Code
(CEC) in Canada.

2. The rotation of the wheel is critical. It must be free

to rotate without striking or rubbing any stationary
objects.

3. Motor must be securely and adequately grounded.

4. Do not spin fan wheel faster than max cataloged fan

RPM. Adjustments to fan speed significantly affects
motor load. If the fan RPM is changed, the motor
current should be checked to make sure it is not
exceeding the motor nameplate amps.

5. Do not allow the power cable to kink or come in

contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces or chemicals.
Replace cord immediately if damaged.

6. Verify that the power source is compatible with the

equipment.

7. Never open access doors to a duct while the fan is

running.

DANGER

Always disconnect, lock and tag power source before
installing or servicing. Failure to disconnect power
source can result in fire, shock or serious injury.

CAUTION

When servicing the fan, motor may be hot enough
to cause pain or injury. Allow motor to cool before
servicing.

CAUTION

Precaution should be taken in explosive atmospheres.

DANGER

Pour écarter les risques d’incendie, de choc
électrique ou de blessure grave, veiller à toujours
débrancher, verrouiller et étiqueter la source de
courant avant l’installation ou l’entretien.

ATTENTION

Lors de toute intervention sur la soufflante, le moteur
peut être suffisamment chaud pour provoquer une
douleur voire une blessure. Laisser le moteur refroidir
avant toute maintenance.

ATTENTION

Faire preuve de précaution dans les atmosphères
explosives.
