SAFETY FIRST
ELECTRICAL
1. ALWAYS use qualified electrical and mechanical personnel for installation and maintenance of Sonic air blowers.
2. ALWAYS disconnect the electrical power at the motor starter, fuse box, or circuit breaker before working on the blower /
motor.
3. ALWAYS use proper electrical installation, wiring, and controls consistent with local and national electrical codes. A
lockable isolation switch should be provided.
4. Refer to the motor nameplate data for the proper power supply requirements. Be sure the junction box connections are tight
and well insulated to prevent shorts and to assure maximum protection against moisture.
MECHANICAL
NEVER run the Sonic Air blower without the belt guard installed.
NEVER run the Sonic Air blower with the outlet open to atmosphere as this can cause the motor to overload.
NEVER run the Sonic Air blower with the inlet open to atmosphere. Always connect your system piping, Sonic inlet filter,
or Sonic Inlet safety screen to the blower inlet to prevent personal injury or damage to the blower.
Keep tools, clothing and hands away from rotating or moving parts while the unit is running.
Use safety glasses and hearing protection when working around the blower / motor and / or air knife assembly while the
system is running.
