IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Grounding Instructions
This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine 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.
WARNING - 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 machine. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This machine is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in figure A. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in figures B and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in figure B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (figure A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only three-wire 12/3 or larger gauge approved extension cords that have three-prong grounding type plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the appliance’s plug. Replace or repair any damaged cords or plugs.
When servicing, refer to authorized person only. Use only identical replacement parts.
NOTE: Do not use adapters shown in figures B & C in Canada
OPERATION
Plug your air mover into a standard grounded outlet with the correct voltage and amperage. If you are unsure about the outlet, contact your supervisor. Turn on the switch and check that the unit operates properly before letting it run.
MAINTENANCE
1. Inspect the electrical cord and wiring for damage or discoloration.
2. Inspect for loose fasteners.
3. Clean screens on the side and front of the unit.
4. Listen for abnormal sounds.
5. Keep the unit clean.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Use compressed air or a vacuum to remove lint and other debris from the motor, screen and blower wheel. Do not use a pressure washer to clean the unit.
