YOU are responsible for the SAFE operation and

maintenance of your S3 AIR SYSTEMS Aeration Fan.

YOU must ensure that you and anyone else who is

going to operate, maintain, adjust, disconnect, or

work around the Aeration Fan understands all

procedures and related SAFETY information

contained in this manual.

Remember, YOU are the key to safety. Good safety

practices not only protect you, but also the people

around you. Make these practices a working part of

your safety program.

It is the equipment owner and the operator’s

responsibility to read and understand ALL

safety instructions, safety decals, and manuals

and follow them before operating, or

maintaining the Aeration Fan.

Equipment owners must give instruction and

review the information initially and annually
