Correct Use of Your Direct Drive Box Fans
Only genuine Cumberland parts are to be used in the installation, maintenance and use of the Direct Drive
Box Fans. Use of other non-genuine parts is a misuse of the system and may lead to dangerous situations
imperilling the safety and health of you and others.
This machine is not designed for use in atmospheres where there is a risk of explosion. Such environments
may include enclosed areas of high dust concentrations, gas vapors and fumes. Use of the Direct Drive
Box Fans in such an environment is prohibited. If in doubt, contact Cumberland or your dealer.
Safety Guards
The Direct Drive Box Fans contain many moving and electrical parts, which will cause serious injury or
death if touched. Guards are placed on the units for your protection. Operating the units at any time with
guards removed or incorrectly fitted is a serious misuse of the machine and endangers safety.
Use Caution in the Operation of this Equipment
The design and manufacture of the Direct Drive Box Fans is directed toward operator safety. However,
the very nature of the fan requiring electrical power and possessing moving parts does present a hazard
to personnel which cannot be completely safeguarded against without interfering with efficient operation
and reasonable access to components.
Continued safe, dependable operation of automatic equipment depends, to a great degree, upon the
owner/operator. Follow the recommendations within this manual and make it a practice to regularly inspect
the operation of the unit for any developing problems or unsafe conditions.
Take special note of the safety precautions listed before attempting to operate the fan.
