Electrical Safety
An adequate and safe power supply to the Direct Drive Box Fans is essential for safety. A competent
and qualified electrician must undertake all electrical wiring. All wiring is to be installed according to the
National Standards and Regulations relevant to your Country and Region.
We recommend that the electrical supply to the Direct Drive Box Fans be provided with a single lockable
isolator (not supplied) in accordance with the requirements of IEC 60204-1: 1997. The isolator should meet
the requirements of IEC 60947-3. An isolator is essential for safety. This should be installed as indicated
on the motor diagrams and in accordance with the relevant codes and directives.
Users Manual
This manual contains information and instructions essential to the safe installation and use of the fan.
Read this manual thoroughly before attempting any installation or use of the fan. Keep this manual in a
location where it can be readily accessed. Failure to read this manual and its safety instructions is a
misuse of the equipment.
Structural Safety
Mounting the Direct Drive Box Fans in a poultry house imposes additional load on the building. It is
essential that the building is able to bear this additional load. Consult a structural engineer to verify the
building’s load capacity. Estimated weights of the Direct Drive Box Fans are provided in this manual.
Maintain Equipment and Work Area
• Do not attempt maintenance or repairs on the fan unless you
are competent to do so. Understand service procedures
before doing work.
• Use only genuine Cumberland parts when maintaining the
fan. Use of other non-genuine parts is a misuse and can lead
to dangerous situations.
• Be aware that the fan may operate under automatic control
and may start without warning.
• Lock-out power source before making adjustments, cleaning,
or maintaining equipment.
• Keep area clean and dry.
• Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from moving parts.
• Keep the fan in proper working condition. Replace worn or
broken parts immediately.
• Keep the fan clean. Do not allow debris to collect around
motors, belts, pulleys or bearings.
