general Temperature Some fans, fan components and all motors operate at temperatures that could burn someone if they come in contact with them. If this potential hazard could exist in your installation, steps must be taken by the user to protect anyone from coming in contact with this equipment.
Safety Guards Cincinnati Fan offers guards, as options, to keep your fan in compliance with OSHA safety regulations. These include inlet or discharge guards and belt guards. It is the responsibility of the user to make sure this fan meets all local, state and OSHA safety regulations.
installation Dampers and Shutters (airflow control devices) If the fan is supplied with any type of air flow control device, it should be closed before initial start-up of the fan to minimize overloading of the motor. Any air- flow control device, with bearings, should be maintained in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
installation Electrical Disconnect Switches: All fan motors should have an independent disconnect switch located in close visual proximity to turn off the electrical service to the fan motor. Disconnects must be locked out in accordance with OSHA “lock out-tag out” procedures any time inspection or maintenance is being performed on the fan and/or motor assembly.

installation Location: On PF model fans, the motor is in the airstream. The standard motor is a totally enclosed type motor which is suitable in a clean, dry airstream below 104°F (40°C). If the airstream will be wet, dirty or reach temperatures above 104°F (40°C), a completely different type of fan should be used.
The maximum safe fan speed is shown on the data sheet shipped with the fan. If you have lost the data sheet, contact Cincinnati Fan or the sales office for your area. You must have the serial number from the fan name plate for us to determine the maximum safe fan speed.
