General Safety Information

Only qualiﬁed personnel should install this fan.

Personnel should have a clear understanding of these

instructions and should be aware of general safety

precautions. Improper installation can result in electric

shock, possible injury due to coming in contact with

moving parts, as well as other potential hazards. Other

considerations may be required if high winds or seismic

activity are present. If more information is needed,

contact a licensed professional engineer before moving

forward.

1. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as

the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the National

Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), where applicable.

Follow the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) in

Canada.

2. The rotation of the wheel is critical. It must be free

to rotate without striking or rubbing any stationary

objects.

3. Motor must be securely and adequately grounded.

4. Do not spin fan wheel faster than max cataloged fan

rpm. Adjustments to fan speed signiﬁcantly effects

motor load. If the fan RPM is changed, the motor

current should be checked to make sure it is not

exceeding the motor nameplate amps.

5. Do not allow the power cable to kink or come in

contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces or chemicals.

Replace cord immediately if damaged.

6. Verify that the power source is compatible with the

equipment.

7. Never open access doors to a duct while the fan is

running.

DANGER

Always disconnect, lock and tag power source before

installing or servicing. Failure to disconnect power

source can result in fire, shock or serious injury.

CAUTION

When servicing the fan, motor may be hot enough

to cause pain or injury. Allow motor to cool before

servicing.

CAUTION

Precaution should be taken in explosive atmospheres.

DANGER

Pour écarter les risques d’incendie, de choc électrique

ou de blessure grave, veiller à toujours débrancher,

verrouiller et étiqueter la source de courant avant

l’installation ou l’entretien.

ATTENTION

Lors de toute intervention sur la soufflante, le moteur

peut être suffisamment chaud pour provoquer une

douleur voire une blessure. Laisser le moteur refroidir

avant toute maintenance.

ATTENTION

Faire preuve de précaution dans les atmosphères

explosives.

Receiving Upon receiving the product check to make sure all items are accounted for by referencing the delivery receipt or packing list. Inspect each crate or carton for shipping damage before accepting delivery. Alert the carrier of any damage detected. The customer will make a notation of damage (or shortage of items) on the delivery receipt and all copies of the bill of lading which is countersigned by the delivering carrier. If damaged, immediately contact your local sales representatives.
PAGE 3
Removing From Storage As fans are removed from storage to be installed in their final location, they should be protected and maintained in a similar fashion, until the fan equipment goes into operation. Prior to fully assembling and installing the fan and system components, inspect the fan assembly to make sure it is in working order. 1. Check all fasteners, set screws, wheel, bearings, drive, motor base and accessories for tightness. 2. Rotate the fan wheel by hand and assure no parts are rubbing.

Installation Installations with poor inlet or discharge configurations may result in reduced fan performance. Ducted Installations Inlet Duct Turns – Installation of a duct turn or elbow too close to the fan inlet reduces fan performance. Restricted or unstable flow at the fan inlet can cause pre-rotation of incoming air or uneven loading of the fan wheel, yielding large system losses and increased sound levels.

Installation for UL 762 Restaurant Exhaust - continued • Inline fans shall be connected to the exhaust duct by flanges securely bolted as shown in the figures below (NFPA 96 – Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations). Flexible connectors shall not be used. Units supplied with matching companion flanges are to have this part welded to the ductwork and then bolted to the fan.

Unit Start-Up DANGER High voltage electrical input is needed for this equipment. This work should be performed by a qualified electrician. DANGER Cet appareil nécessite une alimentation électrique sous haute tension. Confier ce travail à un électricien qualifié. DANGER Disconnect and secure to the “OFF” position all electrical power to the fan prior to inspection or servicing. Failure to comply with this safety precaution could result in serious injury or death.

Maintenance DANGER Disconnect and secure to the “OFF” position all electrical power to the fan prior to inspection or servicing. Failure to comply with this safety precaution could result in serious injury or death. DANGER Pour écarter les risques de blessure grave ou de mort, débrancher et verrouiller l’alimentation électrique en position « Arrêt » avant tout contrôle ou entretien. Once the unit has been put into operation, a routine maintenance schedule should be set up to accomplish the following: 1.

Maintenance - continued Motors Fan Bearing Lubrication Motor maintenance is generally limited to cleaning and lubrication. Cleaning should be limited to exterior surfaces only. Removing dust and grease build-up on the motor housing assists proper motor cooling. The bearings are carefully selected to match the maximum load and operating conditions of the specific class, arrangement and fan size.

Troubleshooting WARNING AVERTISSEMENT Before taking any corrective action, make certain unit is not capable of operation during repairs. Avant d’entreprendre toute action corrective, s’assurer que l’appareil ne pourra pas fonctionner durant les réparations. Problem Cause Corrective Action Wheel Rubbing Inlet Adjust wheel and/or inlet cone. Tighten wheel hub or bearing collars on shaft. V-Belt Drive Tighten sheaves on motor/fan shaft. Adjust belt tension. Align sheaves properly (see page 9).
