transport.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
1. The HA700 and HA700A unit requires a minimum of 110 volts AC, 60 Hz to operate properly; however,
maximum airflow performance requires 120 volts AC, 60 Hz.
2. Due to momentary start-up current surge, the unit requires a 15 amp circuit that is free of other loads.
3. Extension cords used for the HA700 and HA700A must be UL-listed, heavy duty No. 14/3 AWG SJTW
industrial grade 3-wire type. Use of larger numerical gauge (lower capacity wire) power cord(s) may
result in electrical shock, fire hazards and/or damage to unit. The cord(s) must be in good condition and
in continuous lengths (no splicing) and should not exceed a total of 50 feet in length. Make certain that
any extension cords used do not reduce power to the unit to less than 110 volts. Use of a voltmeter to
confirm adequate voltage is recommended.
4. Check to ensure that any circuit to which the unit is connected is protected by a 15 ampere circuit
breaker. The unit itself is equipped with a 12 amp circuit breaker.
5. The HA700 and HA700A should be connected to a three-prong, properly grounded electrical outlet
equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI) device. A GFCI is an electrical safety device that
will trip the circuit and stop the flow of electricity if leakage of current is detected.
Important Note: The HA700 and HA700A units should be plugged into a GFCI receptacle at the
power source to protect the power cord and the unit. This GFCI will trip the circuit if it detects
leakage of current from the power cord or unit.
6. To avoid personal injury, fire hazards and/or damage to the HA700 and HA700A electrical system and
power cord, do not connect or disconnect the power cord to an electrical outlet unless the motorized
impeller is “OFF”.
REQUIREMENTS FOR SAFE OPERATION
1. Never allow unauthorized individuals or children to operate the unit at any time.
2. Abatement Technologies urges anyone operating the HA700 and HA700A units to wear the proper
personal protective equipment and follow safe work practices in accordance with federal, state,
provincial and employer regulations.
3. Check the condition of power cord(s) before using them. Damaged cords can cause fatal electric shock
and/or motor failure.
4. Power cord(s) should never be exposed to water, heat, sharp, or abrasive objects; in addition, they
should never be kinked or crushed. Avoid tightly wrapping the cords to prevent kinking of the internal
wires. Always replace damaged power cords immediately.
5. Never pull the unit by the power cord.
6. Avoid running over power cords with utility equipment and vehicles.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the
equipment may be impaired.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
a.
Do not operate any unit with a damaged cord or plug. Discard unit or return it to an authorized service
facility for examination and/or repair.
b.
Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do
not route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not
be tripped over.
Caution:
As with any piece of electrical equipment, always make sure that the unit is turned “OFF” prior to
connecting the power cord to an electrical outlet or disconnecting it from an electrical outlet. Failure to do so
will cause “arcing”, and could result in personal injury, fire hazards and/or damage to the unit. Do not
disconnect the power cord from supply receptacle while the unit is operating.
Warning:
To reduce risk of electrical shock, do not expose this unit to water or rain. Do not touch the electrical
outlet or power cord(s) with wet hands or while standing on a wet or damp surface.
