1. Safety Precautions Warning Intake of hazardous gas and installation in a hazardous location are strictly prohibited. This blower does not have an explosion-proof structure. Intake of flammable gas or operating the blower in a location with an explosive atmosphere may lead to explosion due to a spark caused by static electricity or contact with an electric device, metal, etc.

Caution When installing piping, minimize the resistance to ducts, pipes, etc., for air to flow smoothly. If the blower is operated with the duct closed, it may enter stall operation status, which may cause the impeller blade to generate abnormal vibration, leading to an impeller damage accident.

The blower cannot take in solid material, dust or liquid. Intake of them may cause an accident resulting in damage. In the case of deceleration by an inverter, etc., a resonance between the main body and a duct around it may cause an increase in vibration or generation of sound at a specific frequency (rotation speed).
2. Overview of the Product 2.1 Types and meanings of model symbols Types and meanings of model symbols used for standard specifications are as shown in the table below. The model is indicated on the product nameplate (nameplate) affixed to the side face of the blower main body (casing).

4.3.2 Electric wiring • The electric wiring of the blower must be installed by a qualified electrical engineer, as per the “electrical equipment technical standards” and the “extension rules.” • Confirm the power supply specified on the product nameplate affixed to the side surface of the main body and then use the power supply for this blower.
5. Operation 5.1 Operation, Maintenance and Inspection After starting to operate the blower, perform the maintenance and inspection regularly. If daily inspection is performed on the following items from the beginning of the operation and the results are recorded, abnormalities can be detected early to prevent problems. During the maintenance and inspection, an experienced worker or trained worker should secure the safety.
Vibration allowance value with antivibration Vibration allowance value equipment 5.1.2 Vibration If vibration exceeds the allowable value, stop the operation and perform the inspection. Possible causes of vibration are as follows: • Unbalance of the impeller due to adhesion of dust to it •...
