objects from the device.
1.5 Safety and protective features
DANGER
Guard missing and guard not functioning
Without a guard, hands may become caught up in the device
during operation for example, resulting in serious injury. Loose
parts or items of clothing could be drawn in.
→ The device is a built-in component. As the owner, you are
responsible for ensuring that the device is adequately
safeguarded.# Operate the device only with a fixed
protective device and guard grill.
→ Stop the device immediately if a protective device is
found to be missing or ineffective.
1.6 Electromagnetic radiation

Electrical or electromagnetic interference after installing
the device in customer equipment.
→ Verify that the entire setup is EMC-compliant.
1.7 Mechanical movement
DANGER
Rotating device
Risk of injury to body parts coming into contact with the rotor or
the impeller.
→ Secure the device against accidental contact.
→ Before working on the system/machine, wait until all
parts have come to a standstill.
DANGER
Ejected parts
Missing protective devices may cause balancing weights or
broken fan blades to be ejected and cause injuries.
→ Take appropriate safety measures.

→ Take appropriate technical safety measures.
→ Protect operating personnel with appropriate safety
equipment such as hearing protection.
→ Also observe the requirements of local agencies.
1.9 Hot surface
CAUTION
High temperature on electronics housing
Risk of burns
→ Ensure sufficient protection against accidental contact.
1.10 Transport
WARNING
Transporting the fan
Injuries from tipping or slipping
→ Transport the fan in its original packaging only.
The fans must always be transported and handled so that
they cannot tip over. This is particularly important in the case
of devices that stand vertically (with horizontal axis).
→ Transport the fan lying flat, in other words with the axis
vertical.
→ Secure the fan(s) with appropriate equipment such as a
lashing strip so that nothing can slip or tip, especially when
stacking multiple fans.
→ Also take possible wind forces into consideration.
1.11 Storage
WARNING
Storing the fan
Injuries from tipping or slipping
→ The fans must always be stored and handled so that they
cannot tip over. This is particularly important in the case of
devices that stand vertically (with horizontal axis).
→ Store the fan lying flat, in other words with the axis
vertical.
→ Secure the fan(s) with appropriate equipment such as a
lashing strip so that nothing can slip or tip, especially when
