Congratulations on your purchase of a Labconco Blower. Your
Labconco Blower has been specifically engineered to meet the
demanding requirements of most laboratory ventilation situations.
The outside steel housing of the blower encloses the motor, shaft,
and bearings.
The contaminated air plenum of the Coated Steel Blower has a
protective phenolic coating. The Fiberglass Blower features a
fiberglass reinforced polyester housing and an injection molded
polypropylene impeller. The PVC Blower housing is formed out
of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and the impeller wheel is injection
molded polyvinyl defloride (PVDF).
All blowers are available in both non-explosion proof and
explosion proof configurations. They feature cooling vents and
weathercovers that allow for unrestricted exterior roof mounting.
The blowers also feature forward curved impellers to ensure quiet
operation and optimum air delivery.
Your Labconco Blower offers many unique features to enhance
performance. To take full advantage of them, acquaint yourself
with this manual and keep it handy for future reference. If you are
unfamiliar with how blowers operate, review Chapter 4:
Performance Data and Safety Precautions before you begin
operating the blower. Even if you are experienced, review Chapter
5: Using your Blower.
