3.This unit has an unguarded impeller. Do not use in locations readily accessible to people or animals.
4.Fan is equipped with a thermostat which may start fan automati- cally.To reduce risk of injury or electric shock while servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock service panel to prevent power from being switched on accidentally.

6.Your attic fan installation will create a screened opening into your attic space. During a heavy rain storm there could be a light spray of rain into this attic space. This is a normal condi- tion with all attic ventilators and will not cause any damage to the structure. We recommend that you do not store any valu- able articles directly under the fan opening in the roof. During extreme rain and wind storms you may want to turn on your attic ventilator to prevent excess moisture accumulation in your attic.
7.Records show, under ideal conditions, exposed galvanized steel can remain rust free up to 100 years. For best protection, the exposed portion of the roof sheet should be painted, especially in areas of unusually high industrial air pollution. Follow paint manufacturer's instructions for good adhesion.
