general Never operate a fan with a non-ducted inlet and/or discharge. If the fan Caution inlet and/or discharge is non-ducted, it is the users responsibility to install an inlet and/or discharge guard. Temperature Many fans, fan components and all motors operate at temperatures that could burn someone if they come in contact with them.

Improper fan installation can cause excessive vibration causing premature propeller and/ or bearing failure, that is not covered under warranty. Vibration eliminator pads or springs should be properly installed to prevent any fan vibration from transmitting to the foundation or support structure.
