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.
