1. Do not attempt to install, connect power to, operate or service your new fan without proper instruction and until you have been thoroughly
trained in its use by your employer.
2. Do not attempt to work on, clean or service the fan, or open or remove any protective cover, guard, grate or maintenance panel until the POWER
has been turned o and LOCKED OUT, and the fan rotor has come to a complete stop.
3. Do not manually override or electrically bypass any protective device.
4. Do not connect power to or operate the fan unless all moving parts are covered and all covers, guards, grates and maintenance panels are in
place and securely fastened.
5. Do not abuse, overload, mistreat or misuse the fan or attempt to operate the fan if it is in need of service, lubrication, maintenance or repair.
6. Never place any part of your body near rotating members or moving parts of the fan.
7. If the fan is not equipped with factory supplied drive and guard, then all rotating members and moving parts must be completely enclosed
before connecting power and before operation.
8. Free outlet of the product must be guaranteed at all times. Otherwise, blockage and severe damage may result, or a dangerous situation may
occur.
9. If the fan is equipped with a maintenance panel or access door incorporating a Protective Interlocking Limit Switch (PLS), the PLS must be
interlocked with all electrical controls. This is to prevent all motors or powered devices on the unit from being energized if any protective cover,
guard, grate or maintenance panel is open or removed. Never attempt to manually override or electrically bypass a safety device. The interlock
function of the PLS must be tested and logged daily by supervisory personnel.
10. The fan housing may have an inspection port which is fastened with captive hardware. In addition, the port has a device that keeps it open as
long as it is not fastened down. The port may only be opened when the fan wheel is motionless and the repair switch is turned o.
11. Many fans are installed and wired to start automatically or be controlled from remote locations. Keep clear of all moving parts on industrial
equipment at all times.
12. The fan must be equipped with a properly functioning Protective Interlocking Electrical Control Switch (PCS), a Padlockable Manual Power
Lockout Switch, and with the other basic safety equipment listed above. On-O, interlock and padlock functions of the PCS must be tested and
logged daily by supervisory personnel.
13. It is the owner’s and the employer’s responsibility to adequately train the employee-operator in the proper and safe use of the equipment.
Written safety programs and formal instruction are essential. All new employees must be made aware of company policies and operating rules,
especially the established safety and health procedures. Refresher training of experienced employees in the potential hazards of the job is
important. Up-to-date training records must be maintained at the job site.
14. Special attention must be devoted to outside contractors engaged to enter and perform work on equipment or in the workplace. Special care
must be exercised to insure all such personnel are fully informed of the potential hazards and follow plant rules – with special emphasis on
explosion proof electrical tools and cutting or welding in unsafe environments.
15. Keep the workplace cleaned up and free of dirt and dust at all times. Do not attempt to work on slippery or unsafe ladders or work platforms
when maintenance or repair work is being performed on the fan.
16. The operator must ensure that adequate lighting conditions are provided at the location of equipment operation.
17. Do not climb on ladders or work on platforms unless maximum load rating is posted. Do not exceed maximum load ratings when installing or
servicing the fan.
18. Never allow any kind of metal or other foreign objects to enter a fan while in operation. Examined raw materials (cleaned air) should be used
through the machine to ensure proper and consistent operation.
19. To prevent human access while the equipment is operating, all fan inlet and discharge openings must be completely enclosed and remain
enclosed until POWER IS TURNED OFF AND LOCKED OUT. Keep away from the moving parts of the fan during operation.
20. Kice fans must be operated at the airflow rates determined for the customer specific application(s). This is to insure that the fan will operate
normally and under its maximum surface temperature rating.
21. Unless otherwise specified or designed per customer requirement, Kice fans are designed not to exceed a light dust load through the internal
airstream.
22. Operate safely at all times. Use personal protective equipment when and where appropriate, such as hard hats, helmets, gloves, earplugs, dust
masks, and eye protection devices. Keep personal protective equipment in good repair and convenient to the operator.
23. Drive components must be inspected and adjusted after transportation and periodically as required by operating conditions. Check sheaves
and coupling alignment and spacing, V-belt tension, set screws, keys, fasteners, bearings, shafts and motor, as appropriate to job conditions.
24. High voltage and rotating parts can cause serious or fatal injury. Only qualified, trained, and experienced personnel should perform installation,
operation and maintenance of electrical machinery. During installation and operation, make sure that the motor and the frame of the fan is
eectively grounded in accordance with OSHA safety and health standards, the National Electric Code, local codes and EN ISO 60204-1 as
required for the classified area.
25. Never stand under any kind of hoist or lifting mechanism, whether or not it is loaded or in operation. Never stand under or near a fan or
component when it is being lifted.
26. Qualified personnel, before each use, must carefully inspect all lifting devices. Never use a lifting device to transport equipment. Never use a
lifting device that is damaged, deteriorated, or in any way in need of repair.
27. All protective covers, guards, grates, maintenance panels, switches and warning decals must be kept in place and in good repair. Any
equipment with a damaged, malfunctioning, defective, or missing protective device must be taken out of service until the protective device can
be repaired or replaced.
28. Any device powered by air or hydraulic pressure must be equipped with a properly functioning Padlockable Manual Pressure Lockout and
Internal Pressure Relief Valve (PRV).
29. Any equipment that is used in the processing of explosive materials in hazardous environments requires an evaluation on the part of the user
and operator of proper and adequate monitoring equipment, dust control, explosion relief venting, and electrical equipment enclosures. Do not
use your equipment in hazardous environments unless it has been properly equipped for the hazard.
30. It is ultimately the operator’s responsibility to implement the above listed precautions and insure proper equipment use, maintenance and
lubrication. Keep these instructions and list of warnings with your machine at all times.
31. It cannot be assumed that every acceptable safety procedure is contained herein or that abnormal or unusual circumstances may not warrant or
require future or additional procedures.
WORK SAFELY AT ALL TIMES
4. RECEIVING, HANDLING AND INSTALLATION
R I
Kice Industries, Inc., has prepared your new fan for shipment in accordance with the Uniform Freight
Classification. It has been thoroughly inspected at the factory and, barring damage in transit, should be in
excellent condition upon arrival.
The fan and accessories should be inspected upon receipt for any shipping damage or fan case
deformation. Turn the fan wheel by hand to see that it rotates freely and does not bind. If dampers or
shutters are provided, check these accessories for free operation of all moving parts, following all safety
protocols.
When a carrier signs the Kice Industries, Inc., bill of lading, the carrier accepts the responsibility for any
subsequent shortages or damage, evident or concealed, and the purchaser must make any claim against
the carrier. Evident shortage or damage should be noted on the carrier’s delivery document before
signature of acceptance. Inspection by the carrier of damage, evident or concealed, must be requested.
After inspection, issue a purchase order for necessary parts or arrange for return of the equipment to Kice
Industries, Inc., for repair.
H S
Kice fans are shipped completely assembled and skidded when size permits. These units may be handled
and moved using good rigging techniques, being careful to avoid concentrated stresses that will distort any
of the parts. Items or parts of the fan that are shipped knocked down will be clearly labeled for reassembly.
If the fan is not to be installed promptly, store it in a clean, dry location to prevent rust and corrosion of steel
components. If outdoor storage is necessary, protection should be provided. Cover the inlet and outlet to
prevent the accumulation of dirt and moisture inside the housing. Cover the motor with waterproof material.
Refer to the Fan Maintenance section of this manual regarding bearings (Section 5) for further storage
instructions.
Check dampers for free operation and lubricate moving parts prior to storage. Inspect the stored unit
periodically. Rotate the wheel by hand every two weeks to redistribute the grease on internal bearing parts.
Caution: Use proper equipment when lifting or moving the fan. Make sure all persons and obstructions are
clear from path and installation area.
