SAFETY INFORMATION
DO NOT operate the 8” Whirl fan without first
reading this owner’s Manual and understand-
ing the fans operation.
Pearson has endeavored to design and make
the best ventilation equipment possible. How-
ever, the possibility exists that the fan can be
subjected to applications for which it was not
designed. This misuse can lead to serious in-
jury or death. Refer to current OSHA job safe-
ty and health rules and regulations pertaining
to the construction industry. Pay particular at-
tention to the rules governing Permit-Required
Confined Spaces for General Industry 29 CFR
1910.
This fan is designed and made for air ventila-
tion only. It is not designed to move/transport
any sort of liquid or semi-liquid material.
Do not operate the fan in any explosive or
flammable atmosphere. Neither the mo-
tor nor the fan is designed to work in such
environments. Serious property damage,
injury or death may result if used in an ex-
plosive or flammable environment.
Keep the unit grounded with a three pronged
grounding plug and a grounded electrical out-
let. Do not use an ungrounded extension cord
or an ungrounded adapter.
GETTING STARTED
1) Read this owner’s manual to familiarize your-
self with all warnings and precautions.
2) Inspect the fan to confirm that it’s in its original
factory configuration. If it is not, contact Buhin or
an authorized Buhin representative.
3) Always use your legs to lift the fan to help
prevent back injury.
4) The fan should not be operated by a minor.
Use caution when operating this fan around chil-
dren.
5) Inspect the fan on a regular basis for signs of
any damage and lose or worn parts. Inspect all
accessories as well.
6) Understand how to turn the fan off in an emer-
gency. Turn it off by pushing the ON/OFF switch
which is located on the side of the unit or unplug
it at the power source.
7) The fan uses a NEMA 5-15P plug and is de-
signed to work ONLY from a grounded, 115 volt
nominal AC, 60Hz, single phase power source.
This power source should utilize a NEMA 5-15R
receptacle. Use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) to further protect against electrical shock
hazards caused by ground faults.
Always use caution before entering a con-
fined space area. Test all confined space
air with gas detection equipment that is
appropriate for the job. Assume that a
confined space is contaminated until it is
proven otherwise.
