Users Manual
This manual contains information and instructions essential to the safe installation and use of the
Cumberland Galvanized Fans. Read this manual thoroughly
before
attempting any installation or use of
the Galvanized Fans. Keep this manual with the Galvanized Fans or in a location where it can be readily
accessed. Failure to read this manual and its safety instructions is a misuse of the equipment.
Structural Safety
Mounting the Galvanized Fans in a poultry house imposes additional load on the building. It is essential
that the building is able to bear this additional load. Consult a structural engineer to verify the building’s
load capacity. Likely/estimated weights of the Galvanized Fans are provided in this manual.
Correct Use of Your Galvanized Fans
Only genuine Cumberland parts are to be used in the installation, maintenance and use of the Galvanized
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 Galvanized
Fans in such an environment is prohibited. If in doubt, contact Cumberland or your dealer.
Safety Guards
The Galvanized 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.
Safety in Handling the Galvanized Fans
Components of the Galvanized Fans require manual handling during assembly and installation. To
prevent injury, seek assistance where necessary.
Some items may have sharp, rough or abrasive edges. To prevent injury, use suitable hand protection
when manually handling the components of this system.
Safety in Maintenance
While the Galvanized Fans are designed to keep maintenance to a minimum, some repairs will be
necessary in the course of the life of the unit. Do not attempt any repairs on the unit unless you are
competent to do so. Never attempt any work on the Galvanized Fans without first isolating the unit from
the power and locking the isolator so that only you can turn the power back ON.
Take special care when approaching the belt or other driven components as there may be tension stored
up in the system which could cause injury when released. Approach these items with care using a suitable
tool rather than your hands until it is clear that the tension is released.
Before restarting the Galvanized Fans, ensure that all electrical enclosures are locked closed and all
guards and other safety measures are correctly fitted.
If in any doubt, contact your dealer or Cumberland for assistance.
