1. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well
as the National Electrical Code (NEC), the National
Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), where applicable.
Follow the Canadian Electric Code (CEC) in Canada.
2. All moving parts must be free to rotate without
striking or rubbing any stationary objects.
3. Unit must be securely and adequately grounded.
4. Do not spin fan wheel faster than maximum
cataloged fan RPM. Adjustments to fan speed
significantly effects motor load. If the fan RPM is
changed, the motor current should be checked
to make sure it is not exceeding the motor
nameplate amps.
5. Do not allow the power cable to kink or come in
contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces or chemicals.
Replace cord immediately if damaged.
6. Verify that the power source is compatible with
the equipment.
7. Never open access doors to the unit while it
is running.
