Important equipment-related safeguards
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed. If Retrotec equipment is
used in a manner that does not follow the information provided in this manual, safety to the operator and
equipment performance may be impaired.
The risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons may result during cleaning and user-maintenance of the
fan. To avoid these risks, unplug or disconnect the fan from the electrical power supply before servicing. Any
and all safety devices removed for any reason shall be reinstalled or remounted as previously installed before
plugging the fan into electrical power.
To protect against the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons during fan operation:
Do not operate any fan with a damaged electrical cord. Discard fan or return to an authorized service facility
for examination and/or repair.
Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do not
route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped
over.
Do not place this equipment or power cord in water or other liquid.
Use only the included power plug to operate the fan. Do not use ungrounded outlets or adapter plugs. Never
remove or modify the grounding prong.
Turn the unit off and unplug from electrical outlet before moving and when not in use, and when making any
adjustments to the fan motor, blades or electrical components.
For use under indoor conditions only, where there is no exposure to water or dusty substances or explosive
materials or flammable materials.
Do not use equipment for other than its intended use.
Equipment is intended for diagnostic testing and to be operated for brief periods under supervision by a
qualified operator. Not to be used in a role as a household appliance for the purpose of moving air. The fan is
designed to be used while mounted in the Door Panel.
At high-speed, the fan can tip over if not secured properly. The fan can cause damage or injury if it were to fall
on someone/something.
Do not stand on the fan, or use the fan to support the weight of another object.
Press the power plug firmly into the power receptacle on the fan. Failure to do so can cause over-heating of
the power cord and damage the fan.
Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep hands, hair and clothing away from fan at all times. Special attention
should be made to keep children and pets away from the fan when it is operating.
Do not insert anything into the fan casing while the fan is moving.
Ensure that no debris is inside the fan casing before operating the fan.
Ensure proper cooling of the fan motor.
If the motor gets too hot, the thermal overload protection will shut-down the fan. When this happens, turn
the controller off, so that the fan does not restart unexpectedly after it cools down.
During prolonged operation, such as when maintaining building pressure while air-sealing, use Range Ring A.
Failure to follow these instructions carefully may result in bodily injury, damage to property and/or equipment
failure. Failing to operate equipment as intended may void warranty and compliance with CE mark and other
listings.
