RECEIVING, HANDLING AND STORAGE

Our Panel Fans are carefully inspected before leaving

the factory. When the unit is received, on-site inspection

should be made. The unit is factory balanced, all compo-

nents (propeller, shaft, bearings, etc.) have been tested

prior to shipment. Units have been given an operating and

running test before leaving the factory. Units which are mis-

handled can void the warranty provisions. If units have been

damaged in transit, it is the responsibility of the receiver to

make all claims against the carrier. Triangle Engineering

of Arkansas, Inc. is not responsible for damages incurred

during shipment.

Units should be handled with care to prevent possible

damage. Avoid jarring and/or dropping. Units which are

supplied with special painted or coated finishes should be

handled with care to protect the surfaces. If the continuity of

the coating is scratched and damaged due to mishandling,

the protective coating may be adversely affected.

Long term storage requires special attention. All units

should be stored on a level, solid surface (preferably

indoors). If outdoor storage is necessary, provide protection

against moisture and dirt. Protect all bearings and shafts

with lubricant and encase the entire unit in plastic or some

similar weatherproof material. To prevent deterioration of

lubricants, special finishes, etc., periodic inspections should

be made. During these inspections, it is good practice to

rotate the propeller by hand to spread bearing lubrication.

It is advisable to remove V-belts if units are to be stored for

an extended period of time. V-belts which remain under ten-

sion in a stationary position for extended periods are likely to

have reduced operating life.

INSTALLATION

INSTALLING THE PANEL FAN: Wall openings must be

square and should be 1/4" to 1/2" greater than the outside

dimension of the panel fan housing when recessed within

the wall. Fan should be leveled and securely anchored to

the wall through holes in the mounting flange. The type, size

and number of fasteners depends upon the unit size and

wall construction. If the contractor removes ventilator parts

to facilitate installation and electrical connections, all parts

should be reassembled by placing all spacers, washers,

nuts, bolts, fasteners and components exactly as they were

found, prior to removal. All fasteners are to be drawn tight

and secure.

POSITIONING AND RUNNING POWER LINES: Normally,

power is brought up from within the building through proper

conduit lines to the wall opening. It is then fed to the (discon-

nect switch, if furnished, and) motor.

INSTALLING THE WALL SHUTTER: When required, the

wall shutter must be level and fastened to the wall through

the mounting holes provided in the shutter mounting flange.

Consult the diagram below for the proper mounting arrange-

ments. Shutters must be secured to the wall opening without

any twisting which may distort the frame. Check for free

operation. If shutters are motor operated type, ascertain the

proper voltage is impressed on motor terminals. The fan is

now ready for service.
