Fan Installation

1. DQC Series fans are compact, versatile and may
be mounted in any position. The recommended
mounting location of the fan is a minimum of 15
linear feet from the dryer exhaust port in order to
avoid moist or wet lint to gather in the fan. If a
lint trap is being used between the fan and the
dryer, the fan can be mounted closer than the
recommended 15 feet. The DQC fan warranty is
increased from three(3) to five(5) years if F anAm’s
2100 Series lint trap is used in conjuction with the
fan.

2. Because this unit has rotating parts, safety
precautions should be excercised during
