WARNING
The following information is important to the proper and safe use of your BlowHard High Flow Jet
Series Positive Pressure Ventilation (PPV) Fan. Be sure to READ and UNDERSTAND the
Operating Manual in its entirety BEFORE operating the fan. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS COULD CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE or PERSONAL INJURY.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
It is the responsibility of the user to obtain and provide proper PPV/PPA training. Be sure to use
Adequate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) i.e. gloves and eye protection while handling this
and other electrical equipment.
This electrical equipment utilizes 110/220V-AC which can cause serious electrical shock if not
properly operated or maintained.
Use Rated and Approved Outdoor Electrical Extension Cord only with this equipment. If the plug
is not rated as waterproof, do not submerge under water. Do not come in contact with wet
electrical connections without proper personal protective equipment.
The operating fan is a high speed rotating mechanical device that can cause serious injury if body
parts come into contact with rotating surfaces or material thrown into moving parts. Although
safety grills are installed, they do not block all objects from coming in contact with the rotating
surfaces. Do not attempt to push body parts or foreign objects through the grill slots. Do not
allow any object, material, or fluid into the intake or outlet of the fan, or to come into contact with
the fan blade.
Pinch Hazards. The fan is made to fold in and out for storage and operation. Care must be taken
when setting up the equipment for operation, and for storing the unit. Pinch points are at the
hinged sections of the fan. Do not put body parts in the space between opposing parts that are
coming together upon closure or opening of the fan. Support shroud when releasing the brake.
Not doing so could result in the shroud falling to a horizontal position quickly and can collide with
the base or ground with significant force that could cause damage or physical harm.
Toe Hazards. This equipment may be stowed in elevated compartments and shelves. Safety
handles and shoulder strap are provided for lifting and transporting the equipment. Appropriate
footwear and gloves should be worn when handling equipment.
Practice Common Sense.
