The use of high-pressure cleaners is strictly prohibited
either in the motor area or in the vicinity of bearings
The fan is resistant to humidity, heat and cold (as better clarified
in the operation and maintenance manual). It has been designed
specifically to operate in highly corrosive environments or in
environments with abrasive substances. The fan is only to be
used for the purpose for which it is designed and in compliance
with current regulations. The user assumes full responsibility for
any improper use. Please refer to the operation and
maintenance manual for any further clarification.

1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a manufactured an air circulator fan by GIGOLA & RICCARDI S.p.A
(from here on simply referred to as “G&R”). In addition to expressing our gratitude to you for
having chosen our product, we are also pleased to inform you that the product you have
purchased has been designed in accordance with the provisions contained in the Machinery
Directive 2006/42/EC and respects all the regulatory and legislative requirements relating to
health and safety (Legislative Decree 9 April 2008, no. 81 – CONSOLIDATED LAW ON HEALTH
AND SAFETY AT THE WORKPLACE coordinated with Leg.Decree 3 August 2009, no. 106). The
components which make up the machinery have not only been exclusively produced using high-
quality materials, but have also been designed, shaped and manufactured in order to guarantee a
long service life. By drawing up an appropriate schedule for periodical checks, and carrying out
all necessary ordinary and extraordinary maintenance operations at set times and in set ways (or
immediately, should any operational issues arise), it will be possible to increase the effectiveness
and efficiency of the machine, as well as extending its general service life.
Considering that axial fans are MACHINES (though they may be simple constructions and their
operation easy to understand) they pose an intrinsic hazard and, therefore, we advise those who
are working and/or positioned in close proximity to the machine or its working range, either when
it has been shut down or (in particular) when it is in operation, to always proceed with caution,
take heed of the safety operating procedures and always use common sense during operation.
Finally, it is to be taken into consideration that the relative elementary nature of the fans does not
lessen the responsibility of those working on the machinery and does not give non-qualified
and/or non-authorised personnel the permission to perform operations on it. Prior to working on
the machine or any of its components, in order to prevent the occurence of dangerous or
potentially harmful situations (for the user, the machinery, those positioned in close proximity and
the installation itself) we categorically advise that this operation and maintenance manual be
read thoroughly.Should you require further or more detailed information about the machinery,
installation operations, startup, maintenance and/or disposal, we advise you to refer to our post-
sales technical assistance service [ Ref. Par. 1.O ], consult “our sales catalogue” or visit our
website: www.gigolariccardi.com
Before moving to another topic, we remind you that:
-the information contained in this document is in line with the technical and safety
specifications of the machine which the manual refers to;
-the instructions, drawings, diagrams, tables, technical data and other details included in
this manual are of a specific technical nature and are therefore subject to confidentiality;
-the drawings, diagrams, tables and technical data are up-to-date as of the publication
date of this document and exclusively refer to the machinery to which they are attached;
-the information contained in this operation and maintenance manual is not to be used for
purposes other than those for which the information has been prepared;
-this publication forms an integral and inseparable part of the documentation supplied with
the air circulator fan produced by G&R (STANDARD SUPPLIED KIT);
-the guarantee of proper functioning and full performance of the machinery is strictly
dependent on the correct implementation of all the instructions contained in this manual;
-the contents of this manual can be altered by G&R without prior notice and without
incurring any penalty.

1.A. General warnings
Certain illustrations included in this manual may depict the machinery (or its components) open and/or
dismantled. However, this is solely and exclusively for clarification of explanations. The machine must
NOT be used unless all the components are correctly positioned and secured in place.
We remind users that, whilst the information included in this document aims to highlight the
necessary measures to be taken by those working with the fan or operating on it to ensure they
do so in a safe manner, it is assumed in this manual that, in areas where the machinery is
destined to operate:
-the current regulations relating to occupational safety and hygiene be observed;
-personnel responsible for operating and maintaining the machinery possess a level of
instruction and training which enables them to correctly interpret and apply the
information provided.
1.B. Purposes and intentions of the manual
G&R has produced this document with the specific aim of immediately rendering all the
necessary information simple and accessible, so that those using the air circulator fan can
perform all activities related to the life cycle of the machinery in a safe manner.
Considering that failure to take heed of all the available information is an effective source of risk
and a clear cause of dangerous situations, those who come into contact with the machinery
mentioned in this document during their daily working activities, or even come into contact with it
in exceptional circumstances, are required to refer to this manual or, if necessary/in case of
doubt:
-contact the G&R post-sales technical assistance service [ Ref. Par. 1.O ]);
-consult the “sales catalogue”;
-visit our website: www.gigolariccardi.com.
G&R shall not to be held criminally or civilly responsible or liable for damages caused due to an
