SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

DO NOT operate blower until the operator completely comprehends the contents of this manual.

The blower is a specialized type of powered equipment, designed for a specific job function and
requires adequate and thorough instruction BEFORE it is operated. Each person must receive
adequate professional instruction regarding proper operation. Read and understand this User
Manual and the material supplied by the motor manufacturer. Refer to OSHA 2207, for job
safety and health rules and regulations (1926 and 1910) covering construction.

DO NOT set-up or operate a blower without verifying the location classification and match or
exceed location requirements for blower type. Certain job site locations may be classified as
hazardous because of explosive concentrations of gas, vapor or dust in the atmosphere. The
National Electric Code (NEC) divides these locations into Classes and Groups according to the
type of explosive agent. For specific information, consult the NEC, Section 500-504 and 510-

517. Use Allegro Explosion-Proof Blowers for operation in an explosive or flammable
atmosphere that match or exceed location requirements. The use of any other blower not
designed for use in a Hazardous Location may result in personal injury or death.

DO NOT use an undersized wire size on electrical power cable or extension cords if used. This
will adversely limit the starting and load carrying capabilities of the motor. Always use minimum
AWG wire sizes for motor branch circuits. Consult the National Electric Code Tables, Article
400, for specific information.

DO NOT operate the blower without the inlet and outlet screens properly secured and in place.
Replace screens with factory replacements (OEM). The screen grid must comply with current
OSHA regulations regarding protective enclosures to prevent personal injury to the operator(s).
Ensure the structural integrity of the screens will allow them to serve their protective function.
Keep both screens free from obstructions and debris to allow maximum airflow.

DO NOT stand directly in front of and/or face the blower outlet. Personal injury may result from
debris being thrown from the blower fan at relatively high velocity.

DO NOT allow minors to operate the blower. Bystanders, children and animals should not be
allowed in the area where a blower is in use.

DO implement an operational safety program for this blower, to include but not limited to:
instructional requirements for operation, applicable OSHA requirements, local laws and
regulations, job site safety and blower maintenance. Operators must be fully instructed
regarding the specifics of this safety program. (Ref. 29CFR 1926.21 (b)(2)).

DO ensure the blower is in its original, factory configuration and has not been modified. Any
modifications may result in potentially dangerous configurations that can lead to property

damage and/or personal injury. As well as voiding the manufacturer’s warranty

DO ensure operator(s) are in adequate physical condition, mental health and not under the
influence of any substance (drugs, alcohol, etc.) which might impair vision, dexterity or
judgment. If you have any condition that might be aggravated by strenuous work, check with
your doctor before operating the blower. Guard against the possibility of back related injuries.
Always use proper lifting techniques when moving or carrying blower.

DO wear sturdy and snug fitting clothing. Never wear loose fitting clothing or anything that
could become caught on controls or moving parts. Wear long pants to protect your legs. To
improve your grip and protect your hands, wear heavy duty, non-slip gloves. Wear steel-toed
safety boots with non-slip soles. Sneakers or other similar type shoes do not provide adequate
protection.

DO wear an approved safety hard hat.
DO wear sound barriers (ear plugs or ear mufflers). Noise, generated by the blower, may

damage your hearing. Continuous and regular operators should have their hearing checked
regularly.

DO a visual inspection of the blower and check for damaged, worn, loose and/or broken parts.
Ensure all safety devices are operable and information decals are readable. Ensure the blower
and all related accessories are in good mechanical condition before use.

DO ground the blower securely. Ensure the “grounding” wire and/or device is properly
grounded. Failure to properly ground the blower may cause an electrical shock and/or
electrocution, resulting in personal injury or even death.

DO use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). A GFCI is a safety device that disconnects
power from a circuit to a load when a potentially dangerous condition occurs. The GFCI acts
like a fast-acting fuse or circuit breaker, sensing small imbalances in the circuit caused by
current leakage, and shutting off electricity within 25mS (milliseconds). Use of a portable GFCI
gives on-the-job protection from electrical shock hazards caused by ground faults in
commercial, industrial and residential applications. Electrically driven blowers are designed to
operate ONLY from a grounded 115 volt AC, 60Hz or 220V/60Hz (select models w/220V/50Hz),
single phase power source. All electrical wiring installations and connections must comply with
all applicable NEC statutes and with all applicable local codes and practices. (For specific

information, consult the NEC publications and OSHA publications 210-22D for construction sites
and 555-3 for marina’s or for use around any area containing water.)

DO know where the controls are, how they operate, and how to stop the blower in an
emergency.

DO place the blower on secure footing to prevent it from shifting while in use. Such movement
can cause injury to the operator(s) or damage to the blower itself.

DO ensure blower is operated in a horizontal position to meet the enclosure definition. The
blower is designed for operation in job site areas that are reasonably dry, clean and provide for
a continuous, dynamic source of air for cooling the motor. Any questions about operating
environments, contact the Allegro Technical Support at 1-800-622-3530, or e-mail at

[e-mail], before using the blower.
