1. Safety Safety Instructions Our foremost concern is your safety and the safety of others associated with this equipment. We want to keep you as a customer. This manual is to help you understand safe operating procedures and some problems that may be encountered by the operator and other personnel. As owner and/or operator, it is your responsibility to know what requirements, hazards, and precautions exist, and to inform all personnel associated with the equipment or in the area.
1. Safety Unpacking When receiving the unit, inspect carefully for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Shipping damage claim must be filed with carrier. Electrical Safety An adequate and safe power supply to the APP Fan unit 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.
2. Decals Safety Signs and Warnings The following pages show you exactly where the safety signs and warnings (decals) should be placed on your APP Fan. If a decal is missing, damaged or unreadable, please contact your dealer or AP/Cumberland for a free replacement. WARNING SHEAR POINT DANGER Keep hands clear of moving parts. Do not operate with guard removed. Disconnect and lockout power before servicing. WARNING STAY CLEAR OF ROTATING BLADE Blade may start automatically. May cause serious injury.
2. Decals DANGER WARNING STAY CLEAR OF ROTATING BLADE Blade may start automatically. May cause serious injury. Disconnect and lockout power sources before servicing. HIGH VOLTAGE Will cause serious injury or death. Lockout power before servicing. The GSI Group 217-226-4421 WARNING FLYING OBJECTS HAZARD Danger of eye injury. Wear eye protection. DC-1540 Left side DANGER WARNING STAY CLEAR OF ROTATING BLADE Blade may start automatically. May cause serious injury.
3. Installation Fans should be installed in an exterior wall located where there will be no obstructions to the flow of air into or out of the fan. Once a location has been determined, an opening should be made in the wall and framed to provide enough clearance around the fan housing. (See rough opening chart on Page 10.) Framing must be able to support the weight of the fan assembly. Manual handling of the fans may result in serious injury.

5. Maintenance Cleaning It is advisable to clean blade and shutter at regular intervals. This will remove any accumulated dirt, which would cause fan blade to become unbalanced and result in excessive vibration and poor performance. Lubrication Motor is pre-lubricated at factory and will not require any further lubrication.
6. Wiring Electrical Wiring All wiring should be installed in accordance with National, State and Local electrical codes. Fans used to ventilate livestock buildings or other rooms where continuous air movement is essential should be connected to individual electrical circuits, with a minimum of two (2) circuits per room. We strongly recommend the installation of supplementary natural ventilation as well as a back-up thermostat and an alarm system on at least one cooling stage.
6. Wiring Figure 6C Motor overload protection should be provided for each fan. A circuit breaker switch or slow blow motor type fuses must be used. NOTE: A safety cut-off switch should be located adjacent to each fan, such as “AP” #’s: E100-A1063 - 2-1/2 Amp E100-A1064 - 5.0 Amp E100-A1065 - 8.0 Amp E100-A1066 - 15.0 Amp Figure 6D Back-up thermostats such as the TH-1, should always be used in conjunction with the control system.
6. Wiring Figure 6E Propeller speeds for APP Fans stated in the table are the maximum permissible speeds. Exceeding these may result in damage to the fan and serious injury to the operator. CFM ratings listed below were all taken at 0.05 static pressure. Performer series fans use TEAO (Totally Enclosed Air Over) motors. Performer series fans use TEAO (Totally Enclosed Air Over) motors that require the air movement created by the fan to cool the motor as it passes over the motor housing.
