DANGER
THE FAN IS DESIGNED FOR PORTABLE AIR
VENTILATION PURPOSES ONLY. THE FAN IS
NOT DESIGNED FOR TRANSPORTING LIQUID
OR SEMI-SOLID MATERIALS.
THE ELECTRIC
MOTOR AND FAN HOUSING ARE NOT
DESIGNED FOR OPERATION IN AN
EXPLOSIVE OR FLAMMABLE ATMOSPHERE.
OPERATION OF THE FAN IN AN EXPLOSIVE
OR FLAMMABLE ATMOSPHERE MAY
RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL
INJURY OR EVEN DEATH.
INCORRECT USE
OF THE FAN CAN RESULT IN AN ELECTRICAL
SHOCK AND/OR ELECTROCUTION. ALWAYS
OPERATE THE FAN IN COMPLIANCE WITH
CURRENT OSHA AND NATIONAL ELECTRIC
CODE REGULATIONS.
DANGER
INCORRECT USE OF THE FAN CAN RESULT IN
PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR
EVEN DEATH. TO REDUCE THIS RISK, GIVE
COMPLETE AND UNDIVIDED ATTENTION TO
THE JOB AT HAND. AN ENVIRONMENT
ATMOSPHERE CONSTANTLY CHANGES.
THEREFORE, IT’S RECOMMENDED THAT AIR
MONITORING/ GAS DETECTION EQUIPMENT
BE USED FREQUENTLY. IF TESTS SHOW THAT
THE ATMOSPHERE QUALIFIES AS A
HAZARDOUS LOCATION
(AN AREA WHERE
THE POSSIBILITY OF EXPLOSION AND FIRE IS
CREATED BY THE PRESENCE OF
COMBUSTIBLE LIQUIDS, FLAMMABLE GASES,
VAPORS, DUST, FIBERS, FLAMES OR FILINGS.)
DO NOT USE THIS FAN.
READ AND
UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING
PREPARATION ITEMS AND GENERAL SAFETY
INFORMATION.
PREPARATION
1) Become familiar with the Fan operations before
utilizing this Fan. Read and understand all Cautions
and Warnings in this Manual. Refer to current OSHA
publications for complete job safety and health rules
and regulations (CFR 1926 and 1910).
2) Confirm that the Fan is in its original, factory
configuration and has not been modified in any manner.
3) Minors should not be allowed to operate the Fan.
Close attention is necessary when used, especially
when used near children or animals.
4) Guard against the possibility of back-related
injuries. Always lift the Fan with leg muscles and not

5) Periodically inspect the Fan visually for damaged
or worn parts. Check for loose and/or broken parts. Be
sure that the Fan and accessories are in good working
condition before operating.
6) Ground the motor securely . The (U.S.) Fan utilizes
a NEMA 5-15P plug. It is designed to operate ONLY
from a grounded, 115 volt nominal AC~, 60Hz, single
phase power source that utilizes a NEMA 5-15R
receptacle. The use of a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) gives additional on the job
protection from electrical shock hazards caused by
ground faults in commercial, industrial and residential
applications.
7) Know how to stop the Fan quickly in an
emergency. Turn unit off at (on/off) switch located on
side of unit or unplug Fan from power supply.
