GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The fan must be connected to a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER:
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug
is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a
qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or if in doubt as to whether the fan is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug connected to
the fan - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
FOR GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED FAN RATED LESS THAN 15A AND INTENDED
FOR USE ON A NOMINAL 120V SUPPLY CIRCUIT.
The fan is for use on a nominal 120V circuit, and should be connected to a grounding outlet that looks like
that illustrated in sketch a. A temporary adaptor, which looks like the adaptor illustrated in sketch b, may
be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch b if a properly grounded outlet is
not available. The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed
by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adaptor must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a property grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor
is used, it must be held in place by the metal screw.
NOTE: IN CANADA, THE USE OF A TEMPORARY
ADAPTOR IS NOT PERMITTED BY THE
CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE.
Ensure that the fan is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS WITH FAN
Only use a grounded extension cord that is rated at least 15 amps and has a third-wire ground. When a
long extension cord is used to connect the fan, a voltage drop occurs. The longer the cord, the greater
the voltage drop. This results in less voltage being supplied to the fan and increases the amount of
current (amp) draw or reduces performance. A heavier cord with a larger wire size will reduce
the voltage drop. Be sure to choose a cord that will supply enough voltage to operate the fan. The table
below indicates appropriate gauge for extension cords.
