ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before switching the product on, make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply is
the same as that indicated on the rating plate. This product is designed to operate on
230VAC 50Hz. Connecting it to any other power source may cause damage.
This product may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is necessary to change the
fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover becomes lost or
damaged, the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained.
If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or due to
damage, it should be cut off and a replacement fitted, following the wiring instructions
shown below. The old plug must be disposed of safely, as insertion into a mains socket
could cause an electrical hazard.
If the colours of the wires in the power cable of this product do not correspond with the
markings on the terminals of your plug, proceed as follows.
•TheBlue wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked Nor
coloured Black.
•TheBrown wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked Lor
coloured Red.
•TheYellow and Green wire must be connected to the terminal which is
marked E or or coloured Green.
We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply
via a Residual Current Device (RCD)
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt any repairs yourself.

INSTALLATION
1. Before Installation, ensure that the impeller has not been damaged or
distorted during transit.
2. Check that the impeller rotates freely and is secured tightly to the shaft. If
the tip clearance of the blades is not sufficient slacken the motor boltsand
re-align.
3. Mount the fan securely using the 4 bolt holes provided in the outer casing.
4. Ensure that the installation is free from any vibration which could damage
the impeller or motor bearings.
5. Ensure that when installed the impeller side of the fan cannot be touched
i.e. if this is not covered by ducting or cowling, then the optional side guard
must be fitted.

IMPORTANT: If a fan (without louvre shutters) is used for a reversible airflow,
the fan must always be completely stopped before changing direction.
6. Refer to the section on electrical connection for guidance on wiring for air
flow direction.
MAINTENANCE
1. Check that the impeller and motor bolts and nuts are fully tightened within
the first 100 hours of use, and periodically after this.
2. Ensure that the impeller, motor and fan housing are kept clean. This is
important for the ongoing safe use of this fan.
3. Periodically check that the fan installation is free from corrosion.
4. Store in a dry place protected from the weather.
Your CLARKE fan has been designed to give long and trouble free service. If,
however, having followed the instructions in this booklet carefully, you
encounter problems, take the unit to your local CLARKE dealer.
