INTRODUCTION
This manual covers fan listed on the title page. It is source of
information necessary for safe and proper use. Read this manual
carefully before any use of the device, comply with it requirements
and keep it in place with easy access for users and service. If case of
any doubts about use of the fan, please contact with manufacturer.
After receiving the device - check
 whether the device is in compliance with order,
 whether the data on the rating plate are the same as desired
(voltage, frequency, power etc.)
 whether fan was not damged during transport (e.g. there are no
dents/cracks, no loos parts inside the fan)
In case of any irregularities, contact with yout dealer or Venture
Industries Sp. z o.o. SERVICE.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Information about device
 Fan is designed for use by trained, qualified adult persons, in
industrial applications. The fan is not designed for household and
similar use.
 The device is designed to transport clean air or air with low level of
contamination. Do not transport the explosive mixtures, liquids,
viscous substances, substances with high humidity, substances that
cause erosion, solid elements, chemically reactive compounds.
The range of transported medium temperature is -15°C to 40°C.
 Fan must be protected from the weather (eg. rain, excessive
sunlight, lightning). Fan surroundings cannot contain explosive
mixtures, chemically aggressive compounds, viscous substances,
liquids, substances with high humidity, substances causing abrasion.
The range of ambient medium temperature is -15°C to 40°C.
 Fan is supported with built-in speed regulator (more information -
chapter 3).
● Fan have following marks:
-fan nameplate with: logo and manufacturers name (Venture
Industries Sp. z o.o.); full fan name; basic information – supply
voltage and frequency, rated current, maximum temperatures of the
transported medium or ambient air (Temp. max. or Temp. ambient
max.), weight (Weight); type of fan motor (Motor); article no.(Art.
No.) serial no. (No.).
-direction arrows: information about correct direction of impeller
rotation.
1.2 General risk and guidelines
During entire fan life cycle pay particular attention to the risk and
guidelines presented below:
1.2.1 Mechanical risk and guidelines
 The fan has moving elements (e.g. impeller, motor impeller). Do not
use the fan without a factory-installed guards.
 The fan has high suction power. Clothing, hair, assembly elements,
items, and even body elements can be easily sucked in. Make sure
that before start and during operation of the fan there is no person
and items which can by sucked near the fan inlet. It is forbidden to
approach the fan in "loose" clothing or reaching toward inlet of
working fan. Use if necessary a relevant protective clothing (eg.
headgears). Warning: Risk of serious injury.
 The air at the outlet of the fan has high energy. Despite of built-in
guards elements sucked or placed inside the fan can be thrown with a
high speed. In case of damage or improper operation, parts (with
high kinetic energy) can be thrown out from fan. It is forbidden to
look into the fan, reaching toward inlet and outlet of the working fan.
Make sure that before start and during operation of the fan there is
no person in stream of transported medium.
Conveying equipments and fan support structures must by selected
proper to the fan weight and ensure that fan would not move. Do not
approach the hanging load during transport.

OPERATION MANUAL
No. AFK/U/2018
Before starting the fan , make sure that it is placed stable on a flat
surface (all elements of the base frame must touch the ground).
 Uncontrolled start of the fan can create hazard situation. Prevent
against unexpected start of the fan – see also 1.2.6.
1.2.2 risk and guidelines related with noise
 The sound pressure level is 69dB(A) - in range of 3m from the fan
working with maximal speed. If necessary use relevant hearing
protection.
1.2.3 risk and guidelines related with used materials
 In case of fire or transport of improper medium – fan parts can
generate fumes hazardous to health. See also 1.2.5.
1.2.4 risk and guidelines related with environment
 The fan can make over and under pressure. In areas where a
specified air pressure and the quantity of air are required (eg. in
places with combustion) make sure that there would be no
deficit/excess of air.
1.2.5 risk and guidelines related with temperature
 The housing and fan elements are not insulated and take the
temperature of the transported medium. During transport the
temperature of medium and fan components may increase. Electric
motor may heat up to high temperatures (especially when
overloaded/overheated – cased by eg. blocking the impeller, too low
supply voltage, too high medium temperature). The appropriate steps
should be made to prevent from fire and burns caused of high
temperatures. In case of fire – to extinguish a fire use fire
extinguisher approved for electrical
recommendation of fire department.
1.2.6 risk and guidelines related with electricity and guidelines related
with unexpected start / connecting power supply
 Before any work on the fan (e.g.: installation, maintenance and
review, dismantling) the power supply must be completely
disconnected (pull out the plug from the socket). Make sure that
power supply won't by connected during the work on the unit, and
that the moving parts do not move.
 After disconnecting power supply the fan rotating parts are still
rotating for period of time under the accumulated energy. Take it
into account when using the fan.
 Please be careful not to break the supply cord especially when
adjusting the angel of operation.
1.2.7 risk and guidelines related with use
 Improper installation and use may lead to damage of the device
and to the dangerous situation. The unit can by installed, maintained,
dismantled and used only by qualified and authorized personnel, in
accordance to safety rules and current regulations in the country of
use (including proper electrical authorization). Personnel need to be
familiar with reactions of the fan.
 If it is necessary to open/remove fan elements (eg. during
maintenance and reviews), users must be cautioned about the
potential danger. The components must be closed/mounted back
after maintenance and revision.
Do not use fan in disassembled /incomplete state.
 The device must not be exposed to radiation (such as microwave,
UV, laser, x-ray).
 Any modifications of the unit are forbidden. Complicated
maintenance work (such as dismantling the motor or impeller) need
to be made by Venture Industries Sp. z o.o. service or with it
permission. Improper assembly may lead to reduce the fan
parameters, damage the unit and lead to the dangerous situation.
 Do not damage the device and do not make any changes (eg. loose
of protective and connecting elements, loss of rotor balance, break
the rotor weights). In the case of irregularities the device must be
repaired.
1.2.8 risk and guidelines related with explosive atmospheres
Contact of the fan with explosive atmosphere may cause an ignition.
It is forbidden to use and store the fan in case of an explosive
atmosphere within and / or around the unit.
