6 PNEG-876 APP Series Fans
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.
Safety Guards
The APP Fan contains many moving and electrical parts, which will cause serious injury or death if
touched. Guards are placed on the machine for your protection. Operating the machine at any time with
guards removed or incorrectly fitted is a serious misuse of the machine and endangers safety.
Safety in Handling the APP Fan
Manual handling of the fans can be a cause of serious injury. Wherever possible, use mechanical lifting
equipment when lifting or moving fans during installation. Where manual handling is required, seek
assistance from other people.
To prevent injury, use suitable hand protection.
Safety in Maintenance
While the APP Fan is designed to keep maintenance to a minimum, some repairs will be necessary in the
course of the life of the machine. Do not attempt any repairs on the machine unless you are competent to
do so. Remember that the APP Fan may in cases operate under automatic control and start without
warning. Never attempt any work on the APP Fan without first isolating the machine from the mains power
and locking the isolator so that only you can turn the power back ON.
Follow all the guidelines given in the maintenance section on Page 11 of this manual.
Before restarting the APP Fan, ensure that all electrical enclosures are locked closed and all guards and
other safety measures are correctly fitted.
If in any doubt, contact your dealer or AP/Cumberland for assistance.
