IMPORTANT NOTICE: If the fan is restarted following a power failure, or accidental switching off, be sure to verify
that the fan is running correctly. If the flapper valve doesnot close properly, or is missing, the deflation of the unit
may cause the fan to spin in the opposite direction when restarted. If this happens, the blower will not inflate the
unit properly.
