1.2 Warnings

1.Failure to install, maintain and/or operate the power vent in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions may result in conditions which can produce bodily injury and property damage.

4.Disconnect power supply when making wiring connections or when working around the fan blade and motor. Failure to do so may result in severe personal injury and equipment damage.

5.Make certain the power source is adequate for the fan motor requirements. Do not add the power vent to a circuit where the total load is unknown.

6.Locate the outlet receptacle as close to the vent motor as possible. Do not use an extension cord.
