Unpacking

1. When receiving the unit, inspect carefully for any damage
that may have occurred during transit.

2. Before installing, rotate the propeller to be sure there are no
obstructions which would interfere with proper operation. Adjust as
required.

Warnings

1. Do not depend on any switch as sole means of disconnecting power
when installing or servicing the fan. If the power disconnect is out-of­sight, lock it in the open position and tag to prevent application of
power. Failure to do so may result in fatal electrical shock.

2. Check the voltage on the fan faceplate to verify it corresponds to the
motor name plate rating.

3. Follow all local electrical and safety codes in the United States and
Canada, as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) in the United States, and
the Canadian Electric Code (CEC) in Canada.

4. DO NOT USE in explosive atmospheres.

5. Motor will restart without warning after protector trips.

6. Motor must be securely and adequately grounded. This can be
accomplished by wiring with grounded, metal-clad raceway system, by
using a separate ground wire connected to the bare metal of the
motor frame, or other suitable means.

7. Always disconnect power source before working on or near a motor
or its connected load. If the power disconnect point is out of sight,
lock it in the open position and tag to prevent unexpected application
of power.

8. Be careful when touching the exterior of an operating motor - it may
be hot enough to be painful or cause injury. With modern motors this
condition is normal if operated at rated load and voltage. Modern
motors are built to operate at higher temperatures.

9. Protect the power cable from coming in contact with sharp objects.

10. Do not kink power cable and never allow the cable to come in

contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces, or chemicals.

11. Make certain that the power source conforms to the requirements

of your equipment.

12. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with

any solid state speed control device.

13. In USA to reduce the risk of injury to persons, OSHA complying

guards are required when fan is installed within 8 feet of floor,
ground, or working level.

14. In Canada to reduce the risk of injury to persons, CSA complying

guards are required when fan is installed below 2.5 meters (8.2
feet) above floor or grade level.

Maintenance

Installation

1. Mount unit to a wooden frame or plywood panel. Opening for air flow
should be 1/2” to 1” larger in diameter than the propeller. Use wood
screws, sheet metal screws, or bolts and nuts for mounting.

2. Install any auxiliary equipment such as shutter, louver, motor starter,
etc.

3. Connect power to the unit in accordance with the local and national
electrical codes.

The fan frame and motor must be connected to a suitable
electrical ground such as a grounded water pipe, properly
grounded metallic raceway or ground wire system.

4. Unit is ready for operation.

Before activating the fan, double check to ensure that there
are no obstructions (framing, studs, shutters, etc.) which
would interfere with fan propeller.

Do not depend on any switch as sole means of disconnecting
power when installing or servicing the fan. If the power
disconnect is out-of-sight, lock it in the open position and tag
to prevent application of power. Failure to do so may result in
fatal electrical shock.

REMEMBER: All electrical connections should be made by a qualified

electrician.

Minor and Routine

1. Disconnect power source before servicing.

2. Lubricate shaded pole motors every six months using S.A.E. 20 non­detergent oil.

3. Relubricate split phase motors every 12 months using SAE 20 non­detergent oil for continuous duty or every 24 months for intermittent
duty.

4. Periodically clean the propeller, guards, and motor of any excessive
accumulation of dirt.
