GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

1. Make certain that the power source conforms to the electrical require­ments of the Fan.

2. The power cord is equipped with a three-prong grounded plug that must
be inserted into a matching receptacle. Under no circumstances must the
grounding prong be cut off the plug. Where a two-prong wall receptacle
is encountered, it must be replaced with a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code
(NEC) and all applicable local codes and ordinances. This work must be
done only by a qualified electrician, using copper wire only.

WARNING: USE OF A THREE-PRONG TO TWO-PRONG ADAPTER IS
NOT RECOMMENDED. IMPROPER CONNECTION MAY CREATE THE
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION. USE OF SUCH ADAPTERS ARE NOT
PERMITTED IN CANADA.

3. Where possible, avoid the use of extension cords. If they must be

used, minimize the risk of overheating by ensuring that they are UL
listed and of the proper gage and length. Never use a single extension
cord to operate more than one fan.

4. Do not insert fingers or foreign objects into the fan. Do not block or

tamper with the fan in any manner while it is in operation. Do not touch
the fan while in operation or just after it has been turned off, as some
parts may be hot enough to cause injury.

5. Unplug power cord before installing or servicing the fan.

WARNING: DO NOT DEPEND UPON THE ON-OFF SWITCH AS THE
SOLE MEANS OF DISCONNECTING POWER WHEN INSTALLING OR
SERVICING THE FAN. ALWAYS UNPLUG THE POWER CORD.

6. This fan is intended for general use ONLY. It must NOT be used in

potentially dangerous locations such as flammable, explosive, chemi­cal-laden or wet atmospheres.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO
NOT USE THIS FAN WITH ANY SOLID STATE SPEED CONTROL DEVICE.

CAUTION: BECAUSE OF SIZE AND WEIGHT OF THIS FAN, MAKE
SURE ALL PARTS ARE COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED ACCORDING TO
INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN FAN COM­ING APART DURING OPERATION AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.

7. Be sure Fan is mounted to a stable surface when operating.

8. DO NOT mount Fan near windows or bay doors. Rain may create an

electrical hazard.

9. Completely reassemble Fan, according to instructions before recon­necting to power supply.

I-BEAM MOUNT INSTALLATION

1. Locate the L-shaped pipe to the desired location on the I-Beam
flange. Install the 5/16 x 2" U-Bolt over the pipe and through the

I-Beam flange and the end with the slight bend goes against the
pipe. Install flat washers, lock washers and nuts. Finger tighten the
nuts on the U-Bolt. (

2. Slide the clamping plates onto I-Beam flange until U-Bolts contact flange.

3. Adjust L-shaped pipe so forward clamp plate is as close to the label at

the bend as possible.

4. Tighten nuts on bolt so pipe does not move.

5. Screw on the adapter mount as far as it will go onto the L-shaped pipe.
