If this fan is to be used to ventilate a garage:
A. Use only in single family, residential garages
B. Install in a GFCI protected branch circuit
C. To help offset the risk posed by high concentrations of vapors from
paints, glues, solvents, and fuels, install fan at least 18 inches
(0.5m) above the floor
D. NEVER run a vehicle or use a fuel burning appliance inside of
a garage. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in the
area. Using this garage fan, or opening windows and doors, will
NOT supply enough fresh air to eliminate the danger.
E. Run regularly if exposed to salty air environments
F. Extra cleaning may be required due to possible dirty surroundings
