MAINTENANCE
Routine maintenance is required to keep this product
operating at its peak performance and efficiency. Over
time, the housing, air intake grille, air intake filter,
blower wheels and motor(s) will accumulate a build up
of dust, debris and other residue. It is imperative to
keep these components clean. Failure to do so will not
only lower operational efficiency and performance, but
also reduce the useful life of the product. The time
between cleanings depends on the application, location
and daily hours of use. On average, under normal use
conditions, the product should require a thorough
cleaning once every six (6) months.
To clean the product, perform the following:
1. Verify the product has been disconnected from the
power source.
2. Use a damp cloth and either a warm mild soapy water
solution or bio-degradable degreaser, to wipe down
the exterior components of the housing.
3. To access the interior of the product, remove the air
intake grille and/or air intake filter. This is
accomplished by removing the eight (8) self-tapping
screws on the face of each air intake grille/filter.
4. Thoroughly clean the air intake grille/filter.
5. Remove the motor fan assembly (MFA) from inside the
air curtain housing. This is accomplished by loosening
the watertight fitting and pulling the cord out (3 phase
power) or by the quick disconnect plug on the motor (1
phase power). Then remove the two (2) wing nuts on
the out board sides of the MFA pan. Care should be
taken to avoid the MFA from tipping over.
6. Remove the MFA from the unit and thoroughly wipe
down the motor, blower wheels and blower wheel
housings. Be careful not to submerge the motor in
water or spray it with a water hose.
7. The motor(s) require no additional lubrication. They
are permanently lubricated and feature double sealed
ball bearings.
8. To re-install the product, reverse the procedures
above.
9. Reconnect the power source to the product
10. If you have any questions regarding the maintenance
of the product, contact the manufacturer.

a control panel or an On/Off switch, open the door
to energize the product.
J. If heated products are installed, reference Heated
Products Supplement.
K. For three phase units, verify direction of rotation of
blower wheels (note direction arrows on the blower
wheel housing). Correct if needed by changing
polarity of three phase power.
L. VERY IMPORTANT Using a clamp meter, measure
the amperage to each motor and ensure that they
do not exceed the amperage listed on the product
label.
M. If applicable, adjust the air intake grille(s) such that
the output air stream reaches the floor. For
temperature control and environmental separation
applications, the air stream should reach the floor
with sufficient strength to create an air seal around
the door opening without creating turbulent mixing
of the inside and outside air. For flying insect
control applications, the air stream should reach the
floor with maximum strength. If after proper
installation and adjustment, the product appears to
be producing too little or too much air for the
application, contact the manufacturer.
WARNING
Prevent hazard of electrical shock. More than one
disconnect switch may be required to de-energize this
