IMPORTANT WARNINGS

1) Your Equalizer® EQ2 will be as warm as the air that is delivered from the
register of your forced air furnace and/or cooling system. The maximum
temperature for a register is 140° Fahrenheit or 60° Centigrade. Your Equalizer®
EQ2 should never be exposed to higher temperatures or temperatures below
freezing.

2) Do not in any way block the air grills of the Equalizer® EQ2.

3) Unplug the Equalizer® EQ2 when not in use. Turn the unit off before
unplugging.

4) Do not operate the Equalizer® with a damaged plug or cord, if the unit
malfunctions, becomes noisy when operating, has been dropped or otherwise
damaged, or if the housing is damaged or broken.

5) The Equalizer® should never be exposed to moisture. Do not use the unit in an
open window, bathroom, or laundry area where it may come in contact with water.

6) The Equalizer® is designed for indoor use only.

7) Place the Equalizer® and the electrical cord where it will not be tripped over, and
is out of the traffic pattern.

8) Never insert any object or allow any object to enter the Equalizer® through the
grills, as this may damage the unit or cause it to malfunction.

9) The motor of the Equalizer® is equipped with a thermal fuse. Blocking rotation
of the fan or airflow may cause the motor to overheat. Should the motor overheat
and the fuse open, the motor can not be reset.

10) Do not use the Equalizer® near flammables such as gasoline, paint, or natural
gas.

11) The Equalizer® is intended for use as described in the instructions only. Other
use may cause fire, electrical shock, damage to the unit, or injury to persons and will
void any warranty by the manufacturer.

12) The Equalizer® has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit into the outlet fully, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature.

13) If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use a heavy duty approved cord with
adequate wire size.

14) Pressure on the grills of the Equalizer® may cause the fan impeller to contact
these grills and damage the unit.

15) Do not use strong detergents or flammable liquids to clean the Equalizer®.

16) The housing of your Equalizer® is sealed at the factory. THERE ARE NO
SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. Attempting to open the housing will expose you
to dangerous electricity, may cause fire, and will void any and all warranty.

17) To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use the Equalizer® with any
solid state speed control device.
