GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

For Your Safety

To reduce the risk of injury, loss of life, electric shock, fire, malfunction, and damage to equipment or property, always observe the following safety precautions.

Explanation of symbol word panels

The following symbol word panels are used to classify and describe the level of hazard, injury, and property damage caused when the denotation is disregarded and improper use is performed.

WARNING

CAUTION

The following symbols are used to classify and describe the type of instructions to be observed.

This symbol is used to alert users to a specific operating procedure that must be followed in order to operate the unit safely.

This symbol is used to alert users to a specific operating procedure that must not be performed.

This symbol is used to alert users not to disassemble the equipment.

This symbol is used to alert users to make sure of grounding when using the equipment with the grounding terminal.

Denotes a potential hazard that could result in serious injury or death.

Denotes a hazard that could result in minor injury.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, observe the following:

Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer.

Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.

Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent backdrafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guidelines and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the American Society for Heating Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local code authorities.

When cutting or drilling into a wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

Do not use this unit with any solid-state control device.

Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting mains to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting mains cannot be locked, securely, fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING

Disconnect power line before proceeding with repairs or maintenance.

CAUTION

Never use benzene based thinner or similar chemicals for cleaning the In-Line Fan.

Do not allow water to come into contact with the motor.

Do not immerse resin parts in water where the temperature is over 60℃ (140°F).

1. Remove inspection panel (take off the screws and pull). (Fig.9)

2. Clean inspection panel (do not immerse in water), wipe dry with cloth.

3. Remove dust and dirt inside the fan’s body using a vacuum cleaner. (Fig.10)

4. Using a cloth dampened with kitchen detergent, remove any dirt from the fan’s body. Wipe dry with a cloth (do not wipe thermal insulation parts inside body with dampened cloth).

5. Replace inspection panel.

PRACTICAL GUIDE TO INSTALLATION

Properly insulate the area around the fan to minimize building heat loss and gain. (Fig.11) Loose fill or batt insulation can be placed directly over the fan housing in the attic. Our fans and fan/light combination units do not create excessive heat that is a common problem with recessed light fixtures or some competitor’s fan/ light combination. Our efficient, cool-running motors and our fluorescent lamps do not create enough ambient heat to be subjected to these limitations. The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect on the air flow, noise and energy use of the fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing possible for best performance, and avoid installing the fan with smaller ducts than recommended. Insulation around the ducts can reduce energy loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not achieve their rated air flow.

4, 6 or 8 inch roof jack, wall cap, or soffit vent with backdraft damper

Mechanically connect duct to termination and seal with mastic or approved foil faced tape

2-3 ft straight run before elbow

In attic installation, caulk box to drywall

A short piece of flexible duct helps alignment and absorbs sound. Use clamps plus mastic or approved foil faced tape at all flex joints.

Foil tape tightly covers all metal duct joints. (Glue PVC joints)
