2.1. Safety Alert Symbol and Signal Words
This safety alert symbol indicates important safety messages in this manual. When you see
this symbol, be alert to the possibility of injury or death, carefully read the message that
follows, and inform others.
Signal Words: Note the use of the signal words DANGER,WARNING,CAUTION, and NOTICE with the safety
messages. The appropriate signal word for each message has been selected using the definitions below as a
guideline.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in serious injury or
death.
Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.
Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may result in property damage.
2.2. General Safety Information
Read and understand all safety instructions, safety decals, and manuals and follow them when operating or
maintaining the equipment.
• Owners must give instructions and review the information initially and annually with
all personnel before allowing them in the work area. Untrained users/operators
expose themselves and bystanders to possible serious injury or death.
• Use for intended purposes only.

2.3. Fan Safety
• Keep away from fan impeller/blade; high suction can pull a
person toward the inlet. Contact with an unguarded
impeller/blade will cause severe injury.
• Keep the inlet screen in place at all times.
• Remove foreign material from the fan inlet before operating.
• Do not operate the fan if there is excessive vibration or noise.
• When the power is locked out, fans can still be dangerous
because of potential “windmilling.” Always block the
impeller/blade before working on any moving parts.
2.4. Drives and Lockout/Tagout Safety
Inspect the power source(s) before using and know how to shut down in an emergency.
Whenever you service or adjust your equipment, make sure you shut down your power
source and follow lockout and tagout procedures to prevent inadvertent start-up and
hazardous energy release. Know the procedure(s) that applies to your equipment from the
following power sources.
For example:
WARNING
• De-energize, block, and dissipate all sources of hazardous energy.
• Lock out and tag out all forms of hazardous energy.
• Ensure that only 1 key exists for each assigned lock, and that you are the only one that holds that key.
• After verifying all energy sources are de-energized, service or maintenance may be performed.
• Ensure that all personnel are clear before turning on power to equipment.
For more information on occupational safety practices, contact your local health and safety organization.

2.7.1 Decal Installation/Replacement
1. Decal area must be clean and dry, with a temperature above 50°F (10°C).
2. Decide on the exact position before you remove the backing paper.
3. Align the decal over the specified area and carefully press the small portion with the exposed sticky backing
in place.
4. Slowly peel back the remaining paper and carefully smooth the remaining portion of the decal in place.
5. Small air pockets can be pierced with a pin and smoothed out using the decal backing paper.
