General Safety Information
Only qualified personnel should install this unit.
Personnel should have a clear understanding of these
instructions and should be aware of general safety
precautions. Improper installation can result in electric
shock, possible injury due to coming in contact with
moving parts, as well as other potential hazards. Other
considerations may be required if high winds or seismic
activity are present. If more information is needed,
contact a licensed professional engineer before moving
forward.
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. The rotation of the propeller is critical. It must
be free to rotate without striking or rubbing any
stationary objects.
3. Motor must be securely and adequately grounded.
4. Do not spin fan propeller faster than the maximum
cataloged fan rpm. Adjustments to fan speed with
Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) may affect 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.

Always disconnect, lock and tag power source before
installing or servicing. Failure to disconnect power
source can result in fire, shock or serious injury.
When servicing the fan, motor may be hot enough
to cause pain or injury. Allow motor to cool before
servicing.
Precaution should be taken in explosive atmospheres.
Pour écarter les risques d'incendie, de choc électrique
ou de blessure grave, veiller à toujours débrancher,
verrouiller et étiqueter la source de courant avant
l'installation ou l'entretien.
Lors de toute intervention sur la soufflante, le moteur
peut être suffisamment chaud pour provoquer une
douleur voire une blessure. Laisser le moteur refroidir
avant toute maintenance.
Faire preuve de précaution dans les atmosphères
explosives.
