10) Do not use the Fan with a damaged cord or plug.
Do not pull or carry the Fan by its cord, do not use
cord as a handle, do not close a door on the cord, and
do not pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Keep
cord away from heated surfaces. Do not unplug the
Fan by pulling on cord, grasp the plug and not the
cord. Do not handle the plug or cord with wet hands.

11) Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of
the body away from the air intake grill.

12) Do not allow water inside the motor. If the motor
becomes wet for any reason, unplug the Fan and
thoroughly dry it before using again.

13) Never remove the ground from the power cord or
plug, as this may result in electrical shock or
electrocution. Removing the ground would void the
warranty.

14) If the Fan has been dropped, left outdoors, or
dropped into water, etc…,please thoroughly inspect it
prior to use. If the Fan is not working or if you have a
question about its safe operation, do not operate it.

OPERATION

1) Your new Fan comes to you completely assembled
and ready to operate. Upon removing the Fan from its
carton, inspect it for any possible damage in transit.

2) Before operating the Fan, please read all the safety
Precautions and General Safety Information about the
proper and safe use of the Fan.

3)  Assess your job site, certain job site locations are
classified as being hazardous because the atmosphere
may contain gas vapor or dust in explosive quantities.  

DANGER THE ELECTRIC MOTOR AND

FAN HOUSING ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR
OPERATION IN AN EXPLOSIVE AND/OR
FLAMMABLE ATMOSPHERE OF ANY CLASS
OR GROUP. OPERATION OF THE FAN IN AN
EXPLOSIVE OR FLAMMABLE
ATMOSPHERE MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH.

4) Locate a properly grounded outlet.

5) Prior to plugging in the Fan into a grounded outlet,
inspect the inlet and outlet grills and remove debris

which may restrict airflow movement. Never operate
the Fan without the inlet and outlet grills properly
secured and in place. Never replace the grills with
other than factory supplied replacement units.

6) Note the directional 
airflow indicator on the 
external shell. This is the 
way the air moves.

7) Place the Fan on secure footing to prevent it from
shifting while in use.

8) Do not stand directly in 
front of and/or face the Fan 
outlet. Personal injury can 
result from being struck by 
debris thrown at a relatively

high velocity from the Fan blade.

9) When ducting is required, do not install duct while
Fan is in operation. Place duct lip over the Fan duct
adapter, secure firmly, and note direction of the
airflow.

10) When duct is used, be aware that the airflow rate
decreases as the length of duct increases. Airflow
rates will vary with specific duct types and
manufactures.

11) Position Fan air inlet away from walls and other
obstructions to allow for maximum air intake

12) 

For safe operation, use the Fan only in

combination with thorough gas detection tests  and
continual retesting.

DANGER

ALWAYS ASSUME A CONFINED SPACE
WORK AREA IS CONTAMINATED UNTIL IT
HAS BEEN PROVEN SAFE FOR WORK
PERSONNEL. NEVER ENTER A CONFINED
SPACE WORK AREA UNTIL IT HAS BEEN
THOROUGHLY TESTED WITH
APPROPRIATE GAS DETECTION
EQUIPMENT AND PROVEN SAFE FOR WORK
PERSONNEL.
