FIGURE 2
DO NOT OVER TORQUE THE HEXAGON NUTS.
IMPROPER TORQUE VALUES CAN STRIP THE
CORRESPONDING THREADS, RESULTING IN
PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
DO NOT SUBSTITUTE STEEL FASTENERS FOR
ANY ALUMINUM TYPES PROVIDED. THE USE OF
STEEL FASTENERS IN CRITICAL LOCATIONS CAN
INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR A RANDOM
SPARK BEING THE CAUSE OF AN EXPLOSION.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL THE LIFTING
HANDLE FASTENERS MAY RESULT IN LOOSE
FASTENERS THAT CAN BECOME LODGED IN THE
BLOWER WHEEL AND EXIT THE OUTLET AT HIGH
SPEED. THE RESULT CAN CAUSE PROPERTY
DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
2) In the event that an aluminum hexagon nut
becomes damaged while installing the handle,
replacement units are provided. If these replacements
are not required, discard by a suitable method.
3) Check all fasteners for proper security. All external
fasteners (with the exception of the carry handle and
duct mounting studs) are constructed from aluminum
or stainless steel. Aluminum fastener torque values are
significantly less than that of steel. Consult a fastener
torque chart for the proper torque value if any fastener
is found to require retorquing. Visually inspect for loose
or damaged parts. Determine that all controls work
freely, all safety devices are operative and that
information plates are readable. It is essential that the
Blower and all related accessories are in good
mechanical condition before you attempt to use them.
Check all wiring for security. If the wiring appears not to
be proper for the installation and/or application, contact
the Customer Service Department for assistance
BEFORE utilizing the Blower. There is no charge for
this service.
OPERATION OF THE EP8HL BLOWER REQUIRES
A DIRECT CONNECTION TO A 115 VOLT NOMINAL,
SINGLE PHASE, ALTERNATING CURRENT (AC),
POWER SOURCE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR
HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS. FAILURE TO OPERATE
THE BLOWER FROM THIS POWER SOURCE CAN
RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY.
IN THE EVENT THAT A POWER SOURCE
DESIGNED FOR USE IN HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS
IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR DIRECT CONNECTION TO
THE EP8HL BLOWER, PROPERLY DESIGNED AND
INSTALLED EXTENSION CORDS CAN BE
UTILIZED TO OBTAIN ELECTRICAL POWER FROM
A SOURCE NOT LOCATED IN A HAZARDOUS
LOCATION. ALL EXTENSION CORDS MUST MEET
THE APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF THE
NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE®
Determine that all electrical installations meet the
applicable National Electric Code®, Federal, State
and local codes and regulations when the Blower
