Rotating Parts & Electrical Shock Hazard:
Disconnect electric power before working on unit. Follow proper lockout / tagout procedures to ensure
the unit cannot be energized while being installed or serviced.
A disconnect switch should be placed near the fan in order that the power can be swiftly cut off, in case of an emergency and in order that maintenance personnel are provided complete control of the power source.
Grounding is required. All field-installed wiring must be completed by qualified personnel. All field­installed wiring must comply with National Electric Code (NFPA 70) and all applicable local codes.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in death or serious injury.
Storage
If the fan is stored for any length of time prior to installation, completely fill the bearings with grease or moisture-inhibiting oil. Refer to Lubricants on page 6. Also, store the fan in its original crate and protect it from dust, debris and the weather.
CIC Storage
To maintain good working condition of a CIC when it is stored outdoors, or on a construction site, follow the addi­tional steps below.
• Cover the inlet and outlet, and belt tunnel opening to pre­vent the accumulation of dirt and moisture in the housing.
• Periodically rotate the wheel and operate dampers (if sup­plied) to keep a coating of grease on all internal bearing parts.
• Periodically inspect the unit to prevent damaging condi­tions.
UCIC Storage
To maintain good working condition of a UCIC fan when it is stored outdoors or on a construction site, always store in upright position. Also, if the dampers are not mounted, cover discharge.

Installation

Most motors are shipped mounted on the fans with belts and drives installed. However, extremely heavy motors and drives are shipped separately, and some motors are shipped separately due to height limitations. These motors and drives will require field installation. Please refer to page 3.
CIC Installation
Arrangements 1 and 9 (FM) are floor-mounted fans. They require a strong, level foundation of reinforced poured con­crete.
The foundation’s size is determined by fan size, motor size and position, and the specific location of the installation.
Use the following guidelines to calculate foundation size:
The overall dimensions of the foundation should extend at least 6 inches beyond the outline of the fan and its motor.
Receiving and Inspection
Carefully inspect the fan and accessories for any dam-
age and shortage immediately upon receipt of the fan.
• Turn the wheel by hand to ensure it turns freely and does not bind.
• Inspect dampers for free operation of all moving parts.
• Record on the Delivery Receipt any visible sign of
damage.
Handling
Lift the fan by the base or lifting eyes. NOTICE! Never
lift by the shaft, motor, windband, or housing.
CIC
Page 2
The weight of the foundation should be 2 to 3 times the
weight of the unit and its motor.
Arrangement 9 (CM) is a ceiling-mounted fan. Suspend the fan by steel rods strong enough to support the weight the fan.
UCIC Installation
The fan support (roof curb) should provide a level surface for installation. If the roof is pitched more than 1/2:12, a sloped curb must be used to correct for the incline. If the unit is installed on a non-level surface, the damper door pivot should be positioned perpendicular to the peak of the roof.
• Drill a hole in the curb shelf for conduit needed for motor wiring.
• Install the UCIC fan over the curb with the conduit loca­tion in line with the conduit hole in the curb.
• Firmly secure the unit to the curb.
NOTICE! Although a certain amount of vibration is inherent in operating centrifugal fans, extreme vibra­tion is a serious problem that may cause structural and mechanical failure.

Isolation

Floor Mounted Spring Isolators
a. Mount fan and motor on isolation base (if supplied). b. Elevate fan (or isolation base) to operating height and
insert blocks to hold in position.
c. Position isolators under the fan and vertically align by
inserting leveling bolt through mounting holes in the fan or the base. The isolator must be installed on a level surface.
d. Adjust the isolators by turning the leveling nut counter
clockwise several turns at a time alternately on each isolator until the fan weight is transferred onto the iso­lators and the fan raises uniformly off the blocks. Then remove the blocks.
e. Turn lock nut onto leveling bolt and secure firmly in
place against the top of the mounting flange or frame.
f. Secure isolators to mounting surface.
Ceiling Mounted Spring and Rubber-in-Shear (RIS) Iso­lators
a. Elevate fan to operating height and brace. b. Attach threaded rod to overhead support structure
directly above each mounting hole. Rod should extend to within a few feet of fan.
c. Attach isolator to end of threaded rod using a nut on
each side of isolator bracket.
d. Insert another section of threaded rod through the fan
mounting hole and isolator. e. Attach two nuts to threaded rod in isolator. f. Place adjusting nut and locking nut on threaded rod
near fan mounting bracket. g. Alternately rotate adjusting nut at each mounting loca-
tion until the fan weight is uniformly transferred to the
isolators. Remove bracing.

Wheel-to-Inlet Clearance
The correct wheel-to-inlet clearance is critical to proper fan performance. This clearance should be verified before initial start-up since rough handling during shipment could cause a shift in fan components. Refer to wheel/inlet draw­ing below for correct overlap.
Adjust the overlap by loosening the wheel hub and mov­ing the wheel along the shaft to obtain the correct value.
A uniform radial gap (space between the edge of the cone and the edge of the inlet) is obtained by loosen­ing the inlet cone bolts and repositioning the inlet cone.

Belt and Pulley Installation
Belt tension is determined by the sound the belts make when the fan is first started. Belts will produce a loud squeal which dissipates after the fan is operating at full capacity. If the belt tension is too tight or too loose, lost effi­ciency and possible damage can occur.
Do not change the pulley pitch diameter to change ten­sion. This will result in a different fan speed than desired.
a. Loosen motor plate adjustment nuts and move motor
plate in order that the belts can easily slip into the grooves on the pulleys. Never pry, roll, or force the belts over the rim of the pulley.
b. Adjust the motor plate until proper tension is reached.
For proper tension, a deflection of approximately 1/4” per foot of center distance should be obtained by
firmly pressing the belt. Refer to Figure 3. c. Lock the motor plate adjustment nuts in place. d. Ensure pulleys are properly aligned. Refer to Figure 4.

Pulley Alignment
Pulley alignment is adjusted by loosening the motor pulley
setscrew and by moving the motor pulley on the motor shaft.
Figure 4 indicates where to measure the allowable gap
for the drive alignment tolerance. All contact points (indi­cated by WXYZ) are to have a gap less than the tolerance shown in the table. When the pulleys are not the same width, the allowable gap must be adjusted by half of the dif­ference in width (As shown in A & B of Figure 4). Figure 5 illustrates using a carpenter’s square to adjust the posi­tion of the motor pulley until the belt is parallel to the longer leg of the square.

Use of Variable Frequency Drives
Motors -
Motors that are to be operated using a Variable Fre­quency Drive (VFD) must be VFD compatible. At a mini­mum, this must be a Premium Efficiency motor with Class F insulation. Motors that are not supplied by Loren Cook Company should have the recommendation of the motor manufacturer for use with a VFD.
Grounding -
The fan frame, motor and VFD must be connected to a common earth ground to prevent transient voltages from damaging rotating elements.
Wiring -
Line reactors may be required to reduce over-voltage spikes in the motors. The motor manufacturer should be

consulted for recommended line impedence and usage of line reactors or filters, if the lead length between the VFD and the motor exceeds 10 feet (3m).
Fan -
It is the responsibility of the installing body to perform coast-down tests and identify any resonant frequencies after the equipment is fully installed. These resonant fre­quencies are to be removed from the operating range of the fan by using the “skip frequency” function in the VFD programming. Failure to remove resonant frequencies from the operating range will decrease the operating life of the fan and void the warranty.

Wiring Installation
All wiring should be in accordance with local ordinances and the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. Ensure the power supply (voltage, frequency, and current carrying capacity of wires) is in accordance with the motor name­plate.
Leave enough slack in the wiring to allow for motor movement when adjusting belt tension. Some fractional motors have to be removed in order to make the connec­tion with the terminal box at the end of the motor. To remove motor, remove bolts securing motor base to power assembly. Do not remove motor mounting bolts.
Follow the wiring diagram in the disconnect switch and the wiring diagram provided with the motor. Correctly label the circuit on the main power box and always identify a closed switch to promote safety (i.e., red tape over a closed switch).
Wheel Rotation
Test the fan to ensure the rotation of the wheel is coun-
ter-clockwise as viewed from the drive side of the wheel.
115 and 230 Single Phase Motors
Fan wheel rotation is set correctly at the factory. Chang­ing the rotation of this type of motor should only be attempted by a qualified electrician.
208, 230, and 460, 3 Phase Motors
These motors are electrically reversible by switching two of the supply leads. For this reason, the rotation of the fan cannot be restricted to one direction at the factory . See Wiring Diagrams on page 4 for specific information on reversing wheel direction.
NOTICE! Do not allow the fan to run in the wrong direction. This will overheat the motor and cause seri­ous damage. For 3-phase motors, if the fan is running in the wrong direction, check the control switch. It is possible to interchange two leads at this location so that the fan is operating in the correct direction.
Tubular Centrifugal Wheel Rotation
Final Installation Steps
a. Inspect fasteners and setscrews, particularly fan
mounting and bearing fasteners, and tighten accord­ing to the recommended torque shown in the table
Recommended Torque for Setscrews/Bolts. b. Inspect for correct voltage with voltmeter. c. Ensure all accessories are installed.

Operation

Pre-Start Checks
a. Lock out all the primary and secondary power
sources. b. Ensure fasteners and setscrews, particularly those
used for mounting the fan, are tightened.
c. Inspect belt tension and pulley alignment. d. Inspect motor wiring. e. Ensure belt touches only the pulley. f. Ensure fan and ductwork are clean and free of debris. g. Inspect wheel-to-inlet clearance. The correct wheel-to-
inlet clearance is critical to proper fan performance. h. Close and secure all access doors. g. Restore power to the fan.
Start Up
Turn the fan on. In variable speed units, set the fan to its
lowest speed and inspect for the following:
• Direction of rotation.
• Excessive vibration.
• Unusual noise.
• Bearing noise.
• Improper belt alignment or tension
(listen for squealing).
• Improper motor amperage or voltage.
NOTICE! If a problem is discovered, immediately
shut the fan off. Lock out all electrical power and check for the cause of the trouble. See Troubleshooting.

Inspection

Inspection of the fan should be conducted at the first 30
minute, 8 hour and 24 hour intervals of satisfactory opera-
tion. During the inspections, stop the fan and inspect as per the Conditions Chart.
30 Minute Interval
Inspect bolts, setscrews, and motor mounting bolts. Adjust and tighten as necessary.
8 Hour Interval
Inspect belt alignment and tension. Adjust and tighten as necessary.
24 Hour Interval
Inspect belt tension, bolts, setscrews, and motor mount­ing bolts. Adjust and tighten as necessary.

Maintenance

Establish a schedule for inspecting all parts of the fan. The frequency of inspection depends on the operating con­ditions and location of the fan.
Inspect fans exhausting corrosive or contaminated air within the first month of operation. Fans exhausting con­taminated air (airborne abrasives) should be inspected every three months.
Regular inspections are recommended for fans exhaust­ing non-contaminated air.
It is recommended the following inspection be conducted twice per year.
• Inspect bolts and setscrews for tightness. Tighten as necessary. Worn setscrews should be replaced imme­diately.
• Inspect belt wear and alignment. Replace worn belts with new belts and adjust alignment as needed. Refer to Belt and Pulley Installation, page 3.
• Bearings should be inspected as recommended in the Conditions Chart.
• Inspect variable inlet vanes for freedom of operation and excessive wear. The vane position should agree with the position of the control arm. As the variable inlet vanes close, the entering air should spin in the same direction as the wheel.
• Inspect springs and rubber isolators for deterioration and replace as needed.
• Inspect for cleanliness. Clean exterior surfaces only. Removing dust and grease on motor housing assures proper motor cooling. Removing dirt from the wheel and housing prevent imbalance and damage.
Lubrication - Fan Bearings
CIC and UCIC fan bearings are lubricated through a grease fitting on the exterior of the fan housing and should be lubricated by the schedule, Conditions Chart.
For best results, lubricate the bearing while the fan is in operation. Pump grease in slowly until a slight bead forms around the bearing seals. Excessive grease can burst seals thus reducing bearing life.
In the event the bearing cannot be seen, use no more
than three injections with a hand-operated grease gun.

Before lubricating, the grease nipple and immediate vicinity should be thoroughly cleaned without the use of high pressure equipment. The grease should be supplied slowly as the bearing rotates until fresh grease slips past the seal. Excessive pressure should be avoided to prevent seal damage.
Maximum Interval
(operational hrs)
Exceptions to the greasing interval chart:
Periodic Applications (any break of one week or
more): it is recommended that full lubrication be performed
prior to each break in operation.
Higher Temperature: it is recommended to halve the intervals for every 30F increase in operating temperature above 120F not to exceed 230F for standard bearings; High Temperature bearings (optional) can operate up to 400F.
V ertical Shaft: it is recommended that the intervals should be halved.
Loren Cook Company uses petroleum lubricant in a lith­ium base. Other types of grease should not be used unless the bearings and lines have been flushed clean. If another type of grease is used, it should be a lithium-based grease conforming to NLGI grade 2 consistency.
A NLGI grade 2 grease is a light viscosity, low-torque, rust-inhibiting lubricant that is water resistant. Its tempera­ture range is from -30F to +200F and capable of intermit­tent highs of +250F.
Lubrication - Motor Bearings
Motors are provided with prelubricated bearings. Any lubrication instructions shown on the motor nameplate supersede instructions below.
Motor bearings without provisions for relubrication will operate up to 10 years under normal conditions with no maintenance. In severe applications, high temperatures or excessive contaminates, it is advisable to have the mainte­nance department disassemble and lubricate the bearings after 3 years of operation to prevent interruption of service.
For motors with provisions for relubrication, follow inter­vals of the table below.

Motors are provided with a polyurea mineral oil NGLI #2 grease. All additions to the motor bearings are to be with a compatable grease such as Exxon Mobil Polyrex EM and Chevron SRI.
The above intervals should be reduced to half for vertical shaft installations.
Motor Services
Should the motor prove defective within a one-year period, contact your local Loren Cook representative or your nearest authorized electric motor service representative.
Changing Shaft Speed
All belt driven fans with motors up to and including 5 HP are equipped with variable pitch pulleys. To change the fan speed, perform the following:
a. Loosen setscrew on driver (motor) pulley and remove
key, if equipped.
b. Turn the pulley rim to open or close the groove facing.
If the pulley has multiple grooves, all must be adjusted to the same width.
c. After adjustment, inspect for proper belt tension.

Troubleshooting
Problem and Potential Cause Low Capacity or Pressure
•Incorrect direction of rotation. Make sure the fan rotates in same direction as the arrows on the motor or belt drive assembly.
•Poor fan inlet conditions. There should be a straight clear duct at
the inlet.
•Improper wheel alignment.
Excessive Vibration and Noise

For a period of one (1) year after date of shipment, we will replace any parts found to be defective without charge, except for shipping costs which will be paid by you.
This warranty is granted only to the original purchaser placing the fan in service. This warranty is void if the fan or any part thereof has been altered or modified from its original design or has been abused, misused, damaged or is in worn condition or if the
fan has been used other than for the uses described in the company manual. This warranty does not cover defects resulting from normal wear and tear. To make a warranty claim, notify Loren Cook Company, General Offices, 2015 East Dale Street, Springfield, Missouri 65803-4637, explaining in writing, in detail, your complaint

This warranty gives only the original purchaser placing the fan in service specifically the right. You may have other legal rights which vary from state to state. For fans provided with motors, the motor manufacturer warrants motors for a designated period stated in the manufacturer’s warranty. Warranty periods vary from manufacturer
to manufacturer. Should motors furnished by Loren Cook Company prove defective during the designated period, they should be returned to the nearest authorized motor ser­vice station. Loren Cook Company will not be responsible for any removal or installation costs.
