IMPORTANT: READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING

TO INSTALL, OPERATE OR SERVICE THIS FAN.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN

PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

Proper installation is required to
achieve maximum efficiency. It is nec­essary to provide adequate ventilation
to meet minimum intake air require­ments. This prevents pressure buildup,
which will reduce the fan's efficiency.
Inadequate intake air can also lead to
premature motor failure.

CAUTION - SAFETY RULES

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF

FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY,

OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

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

• Before servicing or cleaning unit,
switch power off at service panel and
tag service panel to prevent power
from being switched on accidentally.

• Installation 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 gasses
through the flue (chimney) of fuel­burning equipment to prevent back­drafting. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer's guidelines, along with
safety standards such as those pub­lished by the National Fire Protection
Agency (NFPA), the American Society
for Heating, Refrigeration & Air
Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE),
and your local code authorities.

• CAUTION Check for hidden electrical
wiring or utility lines before cutting or
drilling into a wall or ceiling.

• CAUTION For general ventilating only.
DO NOT use to exhaust hazardous or
explosive materials.

• Your GPX fan will operate only on 120
volt AC, 60Hz (cycle) current.

• A permanent, THREE-WIRE (ground-

ed) wiring must be used. DO NOT USE
AN EXTENSION CORD.

• To avoid risk of fire, electrical shock
and other injuries, switch power off
at service panel and tag prior to the
installation.

• Do not operate fan in areas where gas
or oil-fired equipment is in operation.

• Wear safety goggles when drilling,
hammering, or cutting materials.

OPERATING YOUR FAN

IMPORTANT Do not operate your fan
without first providing adequate ven­tilation (such as a door or window) to
provide the proper inlet airflow.

WARNING BEFORE PROCEEDING
WITH THE INSTALLATION, SWITCH
POWER OFF AT SERVICE PANEL. The
fan requires a 120-volt AC power source
with at least 5-amp capacity (10-amp for
24" and 30" GPX). All electrical work
must be done in accordance with local
building codes, using approved mate­rial. Follow the wiring diagram shown
on next page.
