2 Safety

2.1 Safety definitions

Warnings, cautions and notes are used to point out specially

important parts of the manual.

Warning

If you do not obey these instructions, there

is a risk of death or injury.

Caution

If you do not obey these instructions, there

is a risk of damage to the product, other

materials or the adjacent area.

Note:

Information that is necessary in a given situation.

2.2 Safety Instructions

Warning

This product is intended for general ventila-

tion use only. If you have questions, contact

Fantech. To decrease the risk of fire, elec-

tric shock, or injury, read and obey the fol-

lowing warning instructions before you do

work on the product:

• The ventilation contractor and the operator are responsible

for correctly installing the product.

• When installing the product, obey all applicable local condi-

tions and laws, and fire-rated construction codes and

standards.

• Because the product has rotating parts, exercise safety pre-

cautions when installing, operating, and maintaining the

product.

• Before installing, servicing, or cleaning, set the product’s

electrical power supply source in the OFF position, and lock

the service disconnecting means. If the service disconnect-

ing means cannot be locked, tightly attach a large warning

device to the service panel.

• When installing the product over a tub or shower, identify as

appropriate for the application and connect to a GFCI

(Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) – protected branch circuit.

• Do not place the switch where it can be touched from a

shower or tub.

Caution

To decrease the risk of product malfunction

or damage to the product or surrounding

finishes and walls, read and obey the fol-

lowing caution instructions before you do

work on the product:

• When cutting or drilling into walls or ceilings, watch for elec-

trical wiring and other hidden utilities to prevent damage.

• Ducted exhaust fans must always be released to the

outdoors

• Install screen guards within 7 feet (2.1 meters) from the

working area of the product.

• Do not release air into spaces within walls or into attics,

crawl spaces, or garages.

• Do a check of the voltage at the fan to see if it corresponds

to the motor name plate.

Ducting has a strong effect on the air flow, noise and energy

use of the fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing possi-

ble 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.

2.3 Personal protective equipment

Use personal protective equipment during all work on the

product.

• Approved eye protection

• Approved protective helmet

• Approved hearing protection

• Approved protective gloves

• Approved protective shoes

• Approved work clothing
