4. Safety Instructions
WARNING: Read and understand all labels and operating instructions
before attempting installation.
o
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK-
This fan is supplied with a grounding conductor.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. To reduce risk of electrical shock, connect only to a properly grounded,
grounding type receptacle.
o In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric
shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current. Install electrical
hookup in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Warning:
Check with a
qualified electrician if you are in doubt whether the fan is properly grounded.
o To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect power before servicing this fan.
o
SAFETY CABLE-
When suspending the fan using the C-Clamps, be sure to attach
the safety cable from the handle of the Hurricane around the pipe grid and attach the
cable to itself. It is mandatory to use a safety cable when suspending this unit!
o
C-Clamp-
Be sure the Baby Spud has a solid unscrewable connection to the Spud.
When tightening the baby spud in place, always use the washer and cotter key.
Tighten the side lock bolt on the knurled area of the baby spud. Never loosen this lock
bolt to swivel the fan. Always swivel by loosening of the swivel bolt on the side of the
C-Clamp and spinning the entire spud/baby spud together. Tighten the swivel bolt
when in place.

Unpacking the Hurricane II Fan
TM
w/DMX
Before removing from the box, note the position of the packing material and how the unit
is setting with the sprocket side down for future transport or boxing.
Pull the fan sprocket cover (foam block) and remove the clamping ring collar with an
Allen wrench. Slide collar over spindle toward fan until seated against the shoulder.
Once the bracket is completely slipped on, reapply the clamping ring collar until the shaft
is flush to the outside. Tighten securely with an Allen wrench.
5.2
Electrical Power Requirements
Check to see that the power switch on the handle is in the off position. Plug in the cord to
a grounded outlet with sufficient amperage. Current consumption is 13 amps at 120 VAC
and 6 amps for the 230 VAC model. Make sure you are using an adequate extension
cord. These fans need at least 12-gauge extension cord for sufficient amperage supply.
Because initial current surge is higher, the fan should have a dedicated circuit with extra
capacity (20 amp circuit at 120 VAC. 10 amp circuit at 230 VAC).
