(6) Air Mover 1.1 Air Mover will not run This Air Mover operates on a 15 amp nominal 115V, 60 Hz, A.C. power circuit. The, amp, hertz and voltage ratings are listed on the motor spec label found on each Air Mover. Using voltages above or below those indicated on the spec label will damage the motor. Always check your local voltage requirements. 1.2 Grounding Instruction This Air Mover must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. This machine is built with a 3-wire cord and a 3-prong grounding-type plug (Figure 1) to fit a properly grounded receptacle. Before using this machine, make sure a properly grounded, 3-hole electrical outlet is available. If not available, as in some older facilities, use an adapter for connecting a 3-prong plug to a 2-prong receptacle (Figure 2) to ground the outlet chassis. IMPORTANT!! This adaptor may not be used in Canada. IMPORTANT!! Never cut off the grounding prong for use in a 2-prong outlet. By doing so, you have cut off your protection from electrical shock. Never assume that all 3-hole outlets are properly grounded. Check before use. Never assume that an adaptor connection (as in Figure 2) is properly grounded. Check the outlet with a ground fault interrupter device which quickly indicated if a ground is connected. Correct a faulty grounding before proceeding.
