General Safety Information

When Installing or Servicing the Fan

Do not depend on any switch as the sole means of

disconnecting power when installing or servicing the

fan. Always disconnect, lock and tag power source

before installing or servicing. Failure to disconnect

power source can result in fire, shock, or serious

injury. Motor will restart without warning after thermal

protector trips. Do not touch operating motor, it may be

hot enough to cause injury.
Do not place any body parts or objects in fan, motor

openings, or drives while motor is connected to

power source.
Do not use this equipment in explosive atmospheres!
1. Read and follow all instructions and cautionary

markings. Make sure electrical power source conforms

to requirements of equipment and local codes.

2. Ventilators should be assembled, installed and serviced

by a qualified technician. Have all electrical work

performed by a qualified electrician.

3. Follow all local electrical and safety codes in the United

States and Canada, as well as the National Electrical

Code (NEC), the Occupational Safety and Health Act

(OSHA), and the National Fire Protection Association

(NFPA) Bulletin 96 in the United States. Ground motor in

accordance with NEC Article 250 (grounding). Follow the

Canadian Electric Code

(CEC) in Canada.

4. Motor and fan must be securely grounded (bare metal)

to a suitable electric ground, such as a grounded water

pipe or ground wire system.

In United States, to reduce the risk of injury to persons,

OSHA complying guards are required when fan is

installed within 7 feet of floor or working level.
In Canada, to reduce the risk of injury to persons, CSA

complying guards are required when fan is installed

below 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) above floor or grade level.
1. Do not kink power cable or allow it to come in contact

with sharp objects, oil, grease, hot surfaces or

chemicals. Replace damaged cords immediately.

2. Make certain that the power source conforms to the

requirements for the equipment.

3. Never open access door to a duct with the ventilator

running.

4. Motor must be securely and adequately grounded. This

can be accomplished by wiring with a grounded, metal-

clad race way system by using a separate ground wire

connected to the bare metal of the motor frame, or

other suitable means.

Pre Starting Checks

1. Inspect for any damage that may have occurred during

transit.
