3 | Safety Precautions
Before Operation
Before starting for the first time: DO NOT START fan if there are any signs of shipping damage, particularly to blade, guards, or housing. If ANY damage is suspected, STOP and call your dealer immediately.
Keep children away: Do not allow children to play with or around the unit, which could result in injury. Be sure the unit is inaccessible to children when not attended.
Keep unit grounded: Always operate the unit with a grounding plug and a grounded electrical outlet. A grounding plug is an essential safety feature that helps reduce the risk of shock or fire. Always ensure the switch is in the OFF position prior to connecting to power.
Protect power cord from damage: Use cords of suitable size for amperage load. Never operate a unit with a damaged power cord, as this may lead to electrical or fire hazards.
Extension Cords: Extension cords must be grounded and able to deliver the appropriate voltage to the unit.
Do not use speed control device: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use fans with a solid- state speed control device.
Handle with care: Do not drop or throw the unit. Rough treatment can damage the components or wiring and create a hazardous condition.
Run on stable surface: Start only if blower is sitting in a stable and upright position. While on level surface and running at full speed, the blower should not move around. If unit is moving, check rubber feet for damage and replace if necessary.
Secure during transport: When transporting in a vehicle, secure the unit to prevent sliding and possible injury to vehicle occupants.
During Operation
Airflow Direction: When using the blower, note the directional airflow indicator on the external housing.

Keep out of water: Never operate the unit in pooled or standing water, as this may create a risk of injury from electrical shock. Do not store outdoors. If electrical wiring or components become wet, thoroughly dry them before using the unit.
Safety: Proper ear and eye protection must be worn while blower is running. Keep fingers and hands clear of blade. Do not move blower while it is running.
Keep air intakes clear: Do not clog or block air intakes, this may occur if operated to close to loose lightweight objects such as clothing or leaves. This can cause the unit to overheat and result in a fire or electrical hazard.
Keep away dust and dirt: Do not allow dust, dirt, or other particles to be drawn into the air intakes. Dirt in the motor can cause it to overheat, resulting in a fire or electrical hazard. If the motor gets dirty, clean it using an air hose.
Allow repair only by qualified person: Immediately stop the unit upon hearing excessive mechanical noise or vibration. Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the unit if you are not qualified to do so. You can perform regular maintenance or troubleshooting, however complex problems need to be repaired by an authorized service technician.
For information about authorized repair, call Euramco Safety Customer Service at +1 (619) 670-9590.

5 | Maintenance
LOCK-OUT / TAG-OUT: When performing any maintenance, always follow all additional safety precautions that your company may have for lock-out / tag-out procedures.

CLEAN AIR INTAKES: Clean off any accumulated lint or other materials from the finger guards. A build up will reduce the airflow and may cause the motor to overheat and become a fire hazard. NEVER operate fan with damaged or missing finger guards.
CLEAN EXTERIOR: Clean fan periodically to remove accumulated dust or particles using a commercially available biodegradable cleaning solution. DO NOT use solvents containing chlorinated hydrocarbons (i.e. MEK, Acetone)
EXTERIOR INSPECTION: Evaluate exterior components and make sure they are properly installed. Inspect the fan for loose fasteners at least once every 6 months depending on frequency of use. Tighten any loose fasteners immediately. DO NOT overtighten fasteners.
Listen to the unit for abnormal sounds. Check rubber feet for excessive wear or breakage. Contact Euramco Safety for replacement parts and installation instructions.
DO NOT WET MOTOR OR WIRING: To prevent damage to electrical components, do not use a duct or pressure washer to clean a blower. If electrical components do become wet, dry them immediately.
