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 Denotes a potential hazard that could result in serious injury or

death.

CAUTION Denotes a hazard that could result in minor injury.

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.

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.

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

Not to be installed in a ceiling thermally insulated to a value greater than R40. (This is required

for installation in Canada only.)

Never place a switch where it can be reached from a tub or shower.

A statement to the effect that when the product is to no longer be used, it must not be left in

place but removed, to prevent it from possibly falling.

Do not disassemble the unit for reconstruction. It may cause fire or electric shock.

Ceiling joist must be subjected to static load more than five times the weight of the product.

This product must be grounded.

CAUTION

Do not install this In-Line Fan where the temperature may exceed 60℃(140°

F).

Make certain that the service supply voltage is 120V, 60Hz.

Follow all local electrical and safety codes as well as

the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupation

Safety and Health Act (OSHA).

Always switch the power source off before working on

or near the fan or motor.

Protect the electrical wires from sharp edges, oil, grease,

hot surfaces, chemicals, or other objects.

Do not bend the electrical wires.

Do not install the unit where ducts are configured as

shown in Fig.A.

Provide suction parts with proper ventilation.

For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust

hazardous or explosive materials or vapours.

Before installation, confirm that the unit is facing the

right direction. (Fig.B)

Do not drop the unit, put it on the hanger securely.

The special-purpose or dedicated parts, such as

mounting fixtures, must be used if such parts are

provided.

MAINTENANCE

PRACTICAL GUIDE TO INSTALLATION

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. Fig.10

Cleaner

Inspection panal

Fig.9

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.

Fig.11
