PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

WARNING:
Use only extension cords that are rated for outdoor use. Extension cords in poor condition and shock hazards. To reduce the risk of these hazards when using an extension cord, be sure it is in good condition and that the connection does not come into contact with liquid. To keep power loss to a minimum, use the following table to choose the minimum wire size extension cord.

USER SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS

READ&SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• WARNING: Shock Hazard
  Use this fan only in dry environments. This fan is not intended for use in a bathroom, laundry area, or similar locations, or near sinks, washing machines, swimming pools or other sources of water. Never locate fan where it may fall into a bathtub or other water receptacle. Do not basements.

• WARNING: Hot Surfaces
  Do not touch fan motor when in use. This motor is hot when in use, to avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces.

• WARNING: Fire Hazard
  Fans have arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use near combustible materials or flammable gases or sources of heat. DO NOT USE in areas where gasoline, paint or flammable materials are used or stored. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock,

• WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard
  Do not use with damaged cord or plug. Use with adequate electrical system that is up to code.

• WARNING: To Prevent Electric Shock
  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 appliance- if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

• WARNING: To Reduce The Risk Of Electric Shock
  Do not use this product with any solid-state speed control device.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

• In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The fan must be connected to a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
• A DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the fan is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug connected to the fan – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• FOR GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED FAN RATED LESS THAN 15A AND INTENDED FOR USE ON A NOMINAL 120V SUPPLY CIRCUIT
• The fan is for use on a nominal 120V circuit, and should be connected to a grounding outlet that looks like that illustrated in sketch a. A temporary adaptor, which looks like the adaptor illustrated in sketch b, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch b if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
• Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by the metal screw.
• NOTE: IN CANADA, THE USE OF A TEMPORARY ADAPTOR IS NOT PERMITTED BY THE CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE.
• Ensure that the fan is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS WITH FAN

Only use a grounded extension cord that is rated at least 15 amps and has a third-wire ground. When a long extension cord is used to connect the tan, a voltage drop occurs. The longer the cord, the greater the voltage drop. This results in less voltage being supplied to the fan and increases the amount of current (amp) draw or reduces performance. A heavier cord with a larger wire size will reduce the voltage drop. Be sure to choose a cord that will supply enough voltage to operate the fan. The table below indicates appropriate gauge for extension cords.

Minimum Gauge for Extension Cord Sets

Ampere Rating

| Volts| Total Length of Cord in Feet (meters)
120V| 25(7.6)| 50(15.2)| 100(30.5)| 150(45.7)
240V| 50(15.2)| 100(30.5)| 200(61.0)| 300(91.4)
More Than| Not More Than| AWG
0| 6| | 18| 16| 16| 14
6| 10| 18| 16| 14| 12
10| 12| 16| 16| 14| 12

WARNING: Keep electrical cords in good condition. Do not use worn, bare, or frayed cords because they can cause electric shock.
WARNING: Operating equipment at low voltage can cause it to overheat. Using an excessively long extension cord can cause the cord to overheat.

FAN OPERATION
