AVERTISSEMENT:

ELECTRICAL:
In the USA this machine operates on a standard 15

amp 1 15V, 60 hz, A.C. power circuit . The amp, hertz,
and voltage are listed on the data label found on each
machine. Using voltages above or below those
indicated on the data label will cause serious damage
to the motors.

EXTENSION CORDS:
If an extension cord is used, the wire size must be at

least one size larger than the power cord on the
machine, and must be limited to 50 feet (15.5m) in
length.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunc-

tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and
grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordi­nances.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug in "Fig.
A". A temporary adaptor that looks like the adaptor in
"Fig. C" may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in "Fig. B", if a properly grounded
outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should
be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Fig. A)
can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green
colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the
adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground
such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place
by a metal screw.

Safety

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service person
if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance - if it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician. Use only GFCI protected receptacles.

Le raccordement incorrect du conducteur de terre
d'équipement peut entraîner des risques d'électro­cution. Vérifiez auprès d'un électricien qualifié ou
d'un responsable de l'entretien si vous avez
quelque doute que ce soit quant au ra ccordement à
la terre de votre prise murale. Ne modifiez pas la
fiche fournie avec l'appareil : si elle ne correspond
pas à la prise murale, faites installer une prise
adéquate par un électricien qualifié. Utilisez-le
uniquement sur des réceptacles protégés GFCI.

This fan can be operated in almost any position or
orientation.

The three main positions are; horizontal (sitting on it s
feet), vertical (sitting on its back exhaust pointed up),
and sideways (sitting on either left or right side). For
any position, do not block air intake.

• Horizontal position is used for blowing across
floor surfaces.

• Vertical position is used to direct airflow up to
blow on to ceiling.

• Side position is used to blow along a wall

Never allow anything to block intake airflow. Be
careful of objects which could be drawn against
intake. The fan must sit on a level surface. Always
position and orient fan before turning on.

Ne permettez jamais à quoi que ce soit de bloquer
l'entrée d'air. Faites attention aux objets qui pour­raient être attirés contre l'entrée d'a ir. Le ventilateur

Operations

!

ATTENTION:

Horizontal Operation

Place fan on its rubber feet with the int ake on top. Point
fans exhaust in desired direction. Turn on fan.

Never allow anything to block intake airflow. Be
careful of objects which could be drawn against
intake. The fan must sit on a level surface. In
vertical or side operation, to protect floor, add
barrier beneath fans soft polyethylene body. On
smooth slick floors the barrier will also keep fan in
place during operation. Without enough traction,
the fan could move from the force of air. Always
position and orient fan before turning on.

Vertical Operation

Place fan on its back with the exhaust pointing straight
up. Turn on fan.

Side Operation

To operate on its side, which is normally against a wall,
point rubber feet toward wall, with intake vent away
from wall and other possible obstructions. Turn on fan.

Ne permettez jamais à quoi que ce soit de bloquer
l'entrée d'air. Faites attention aux objets qui pour­raient être attirés contre l'entrée d'air. Le ventilateur
doit reposer sur une surface de niveau. Dans un
fonctionnement vertical ou latéral, afin de protéger
le plancher , ajoutez une barrière s ous le corps mou
en polyéthylène des ventilateurs. Sur des
planchers lisses et luisants, la barrière aidera
également à maintenir le ventilateur en place lors
du fonctionnement. Sans une traction suffis ante, le
ventilateur pourrait se déplacer en raison de la
force d'air. Dirigez et orientez toujours le ventila­teur avant de l'allumer.

Back Draft Prevention

Exhausting too much air from a space with Open
Combustion Devices ( e.g. furnace, fireplace or
water heater) can cause those devices to back draft.
This can contaminate the space with potentially
fatal gases.

Évacuer trop d'air d'un espace avec des app areils à
combustion ouverte ( p ex., fournaise, foyer ou
chauffe-eau) peut entraîner un refoulement de ces
appareils. Cela peut contaminer l'espace avec des
gaz potentiellement mortels.

Use the fan as a recirculating unit only. Exhausting no
air from the space and thus causing no negative
pressure or back drafting.

OR

Exhaust a very limited amount of air, wh ich does not
cause back drafting.

OR

Direct one or more outlet ducts from the fan to the room
with combustion devices. This will positively pressurize
the room, thus preventing back drafting.

When exhausting air from a space, always check
Combustion Devices with the fan running to
guarantee that back draft prevention measures are
working.

En évacuant l'air d'un espace, toujours vérifie r que
le ventilateur des appareils à combustion ouverte
est en marche pour garantir l'efficacité des
mesures de prévention antirefoulement.
