3 Safety Instructions
3.1 Electrical
Always use qualified electrical and mechanical personnel for installation and maintenance
of Sonic air blowers.
No work should be performed on a Sonic air blower until the power has been turned off
and an isolation device has been applied. Disconnect the electrical power at the motor
starter, fuse box, or circuit breaker before working on the blower / motor. Double check
to be sure that the power is off and that it cannot be turned on while you are working on
the blower / motor assembly.
Use proper electrical installation, wiring, and controls consistent with local and national
electrical codes. A lockable isolation switch should be provided.
Refer to the motor nameplate data for the proper power supply requirements. Be sure the
junction box connections are tight and well insulated to prevent shorts and to assure
maximum protection against moisture.
3.2 Mechanical
Never run the Sonic air blower without the belt guard installed.
Never run the Sonic air blower with the outlet open to atmosphere as this can cause the
motor to overload.
Never run the Sonic air blower with the inlet open to atmosphere. Always connect your
system piping, Sonic inlet filter, or Sonic Inlet safety screen to the blower inlet to prevent
personal injury or damage to the blower.
Keep tools, clothing and hands away from rotating or moving parts while the unit is
running.
Use safety glasses when working around the blower / motor and / or air knife assembly
while the system is running.
Always use proper lifting techniques and equipment.
Observe good safety habits at all times and use care to avoid injury to personnel and
damage to the equipment.
