Safety
Adequate precautions appropriate for the installation and location of these products should be
taken to safeguard the equipment and the premises from damage, and the public from possible

When the fan speed of the unit is to be changed from the factory set speed, including the
use of a variable speed device, steps must be taken to avoid operating at or near the fan’s
“critical speed” which could result in fan failure and possible injury or damage. Refer to
“Fan Control” in the
