INTRODUCTIONCongratulations on your purchase of a new 12″ VELOCITY vane axial fan from CH Hanson. It is our goal to provide you with the highest quality air mover. The VELOCITY is durable and will provide years of trouble-free service when you follow the recommendations included in this manual.Please read this manual before operating the unit. If you do not understand any portion of this manual, please contact CH Hanson or an authorized dealer for additional assistance and guidance before operating the fan.
GETTING STARTED
- Read this owner’s manual to familiarize yourself with all warnings and precautions.
- Inspect the fan to confirm that it’s in its original factory configuration. If it is not, contact an authorized CH Hanson representative.
- Always use your legs to lift the fan to help prevent back injury.
- The fan should not be operated by a minor. Use caution when operating this fan around children.
- Inspect the fan on a regular basis for signs of any damage and lose or worn parts. Inspect all accessories as well.
- Understand how to turn the fan off in an emergency. Turn it off by pushing the ON/OFF switch which is located on the side of the unit or unplug it at the power source.
- The fan uses a NEMA 5-15P plug and is designed to work ONLY from a grounded, 115 volt nominal AC~, 60Hz, single-phase power source. This power source should utilize a NEMA 5-15R receptacle. Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) to further protect against electrical shock hazards caused by ground faults.
SAFETY INFORMATIONDO NOT operate the 12″ VELOCITY fan without first reading this owner’s Manual and understanding the fan’s operation.CH Hanson has endeavored to design and make the best ventilation equipment possible. How-ever, the possibility exists that the fan can be subjected to applications for which it was not designed. This misuse can lead to serious in-jury or death. Refer to current OSHA job safe-ty and health rules and regulations pertaining to the construction industry. Pay particular at-tention to the rules governing Permit-Required Confined Spaces for General Industry 29 CFR 1910.
DANGER!This fan is designed and made for air ventilation only. It is not designed to move/transport any sort of liquid or semi-liquid material.
Do not operate the fan in any explosive or flammable atmosphere. Neither the motor nor the fan is designed to work in such environments. Serious property damage, injury or death may result if used in an explosive or flammable environment.
Keep the unit grounded with a three pronged grounding plug and a grounded electrical outlet. Do not use an ungrounded extension cord or an ungrounded adapter.
DANGER!Always use caution before entering a confined space area. Test all confined space air with gas detection equipment that is appropriate for the job. Assume that a confined space is contaminated until it is proven otherwise.
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
- Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug. Discard fan or return to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
- Do not run the cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do not route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.
- Do not block the air intake grill.
- Do not put any object in the air intake grill.
- Do not place the fan in standing water because of extreme shock hazard.
- Do not operate the fan outside when it is raining. Only store the fan indoors.
- Do not discharge flammable solvents or chemicals through the fan air intake grill.
- Do not use the fan in areas where flammable or combustible liquids, gases, vapors, dust, fibers, or filings may be present.
- This fan is not toy.
- A properly grounded outlet should only be used with this fan.
- Unplug the fan from the power supply before servicing and when not in use.
- Do not handle the fan with wet hands. Do not pull or carry the fan by its cord, do not use cord as a handle, do not close a door on the cord, and do not pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Keep cord away from heated surfaces. Do not unplug the fan by pulling on the cord; grasp the plug and not the cord.
- Do not place hair, loose clothing, fingers, and any parts of the body near the air intake grill.
- Do not allow water inside the motor. Unplug the fan and let it dry thoroughly before using again, if the motor becomes wet.
- Do not remove ground from the power cord. Removing it may result in electrical shock or electrocution. Removing the ground will void the warranty.
- Inspect the fan if it has been dropped, left outdoors, or dropped into water, etc.. Thoroughly inspect it prior to use.
- Do not install ducting when the fan is in operation.
DANGER!DO NOT USE THE FAN IF THE INLET AND OUTLET GRILLS ARE NOT INSTALLED.If the Fan is not working or if you have a question about its safe operation, you should not operate it.Contact CH Hanson direct at (800) 827-3398 or www.chhanson.com
OPERATION
- When unpacking the fan, inspect it for any damage that may have occurred during shipping.
- Read this manual before connecting and operating the fan.
- Determine if your job is considered hazardous. The working environment may contain explosive gases or dust in explosive amounts.
- The outlet to be used must be grounded.
- Make sure that both grills on the fan are not obstructed in any way that may restrict the airflow. Do not operate the fan at anytime if the grills are not installed.
- The fan is marked with an arrow on either side. This is the direction of airflow.
- Never stand in front of the fan in the direction of airflow. Serious injury or death may occur from being struck with debris that are sucked into the fan and discharged at a high speed.
- Install duct when the fan is turned off and unplugged.
- Do not place the fan next to an obstruction such as a wall as this will decrease airflow.
- Keep in mind that using duct will decrease the airflow rate.
- Always test the atmosphere for explosive gases prior to turning on the fan. Be sure to continually retest the atmosphere.
MAINTENANCE
DANGER!Shut off the fan and unplug it before conducting any service or inspection. Accidental electrocution or shock may occur if the fan is not disconnected from a power supply. Confirm that the fan blade has stopped rotating before removing the grills and handling the fan blade.
- Check for any loose or broken fasteners or components. Replace, repair or tighten as needed with only factory approved parts.
- Clean the fan blade of any debris. A build up of debris such as paint, cement dust, dirt, etc can unbalance the fan blade and damage the unit.
