Upon receiving the product check to make sure all items are accounted for by referencing the bill of lading to ensure all items were received. Inspect each crate for shipping damage before accepting delivery. Notify the carrier if any damage is noticed. The carrier will make notiﬁcation on the delivery receipt acknowledging any damage to the product. All damage should be noted on all the copies of the bill of lading which is countersigned by the delivering carrier. A Carrier Inspection Report should be ﬁlled out by the carrier upon arrival and reported to the Trafﬁc Department. If damaged upon arrival, ﬁle a claim with carrier. Any physical damage to the unit after acceptance is not the responsibility of Greenheck Fan Corporation.

Unpacking

Verify that all required parts and the correct quantity of each item have been received. If any items are missing, report shortages to your local representative to arrange for obtaining missing parts. Sometimes it is not possible that all items for the unit be shipped together due to availability of transportation and truck space. Conﬁrmation of shipment(s) must be limited to only items on the bill of lading.

Handling

CUE Direct Drive

Lift unit on to the roof utilizing hooks under the horizontal supports. Evenly space the hooks using a minimum of four lifting straps. Use a spreader bar to ensure the straps do not come in contact with the unit (see figure 1).

CAUTION

Do not lift by the fan hood. Avoid lifting fans in a way that will bend or distort fan parts. Never pass slings or timbers through the venturi of fan. Fans with special coatings or paints must be protected in handling to prevent damage.

When CUE/CUBE unit is on the roof, move fan to desired location using lifting points and fasten securely through mounting holes in base. Shims may be necessary depending upon rooﬁng material thickness.

The motor amperage and voltage ratings must be checked for compatibility to supply voltage prior to ﬁnal electrical connection. For CUE/CUBE installations, the electrical supply should be routed through the conduit chase located between the curb cap and the bottom of the motor compartment. Wiring must conform to local and national codes.

Storage

Fans are protected against damage during shipment. If the unit cannot be installed and operated immediately, precautions need to be taken to prevent deterioration of the unit during storage. The user assumes responsibility of the fan and accessories while in storage. The manufacturer will not be responsible for damage during storage. These suggestions are provided solely as a convenience to the user.

CUBE Belt Drive

When lifting the unit on to the roof, use either the four lifting points on the drive frame or the two lifting points on the bearing plate if present (see ﬁgure 2 for lifting points). Access to the drive frame is accomplished by removing the screws pointed out in ﬁgure 3. The cover can then be removed and placed on a ﬂat surface in an area protected from strong winds.

Model CUE/CUBE Centrifugal Roof Exhaust Fan

Indoor

The ideal environment for the storage of fans and accessories is indoors, above grade, in a low humidity atmosphere which is sealed to prevent the entry of blowing dust, rain or snow. Temperatures should be evenly maintained between 30° to 110°F (-1° to 43°C) (wide temperature swings may cause condensation and “sweating” of metal parts). All accessories must be stored indoors in a clean, dry atmosphere.

Page 3

Remove any accumulations of dirt, water, ice or snow and wipe dry before moving to indoor storage. To avoid “sweating” of metal parts allow cold parts to reach room temperature. To dry parts and packages use a portable electric heater to get rid of any moisture buildup. Leave coverings loose to permit air circulation and to allow for periodic inspection.

The unit should be stored at least 3½ in. (89 mm) off the floor on wooden blocks covered with moisture proof paper or polyethylene sheathing. Aisles between parts and along all walls should be provided to permit air circulation and space for inspection.

Outdoor

Fans designed for outdoor applications may be stored outdoors, if absolutely necessary. Roads or aisles for portable cranes and hauling equipment are needed.

The fan should be placed on a level surface to prevent water from leaking into the fan. The fan should be elevated on an adequate number of wooden blocks so that it is above water and snow levels and has enough blocking to prevent it from settling into soft ground. Locate parts far enough apart to permit air circulation, sunlight and space for periodic inspection. To minimize water accumulation, place all fan parts on blocking supports so that rain water will run off.

Do not cover parts with plastic ﬁlm or tarps as these cause condensation of moisture from the air passing through heating and cooling cycles.

Fan wheels should be blocked to prevent spinning caused by strong winds.

Inspection and Maintenance During Storage

While in storage, inspect fans once per month. Keep a record of inspection and maintenance performed.

If moisture or dirt accumulations are found on parts, the source should be located and eliminated. At each inspection, rotate the wheel by hand ten to ﬁfteen revolutions to distribute lubricant on motor. If paint deterioration begins, consideration should be given to touch-up or repainting. Fans with special coatings may require special techniques for touch-up or repair.

Machined parts coated with rust preventive should be restored to good condition promptly if signs of rust occur. Immediately remove the original rust preventive coating with petroleum solvent and clean with lint-free cloths. Polish any remaining rust from surface with crocus cloth or ﬁne emery paper and oil. Do not destroy the continuity of the surfaces. Thoroughly wipe clean with Tectyl to reach internal surfaces or for occasional use, consider using Tectyl

506 (Ashland Inc.) or the equivalent. For hard

511M Rust Preventive, WD-40® or the

equivalent.

Removing From Storage

As fans are removed from storage to be installed in their ﬁnal location, they should be protected and maintained in a similar fashion until the fan equipment goes into operation.

Operation: CUE / CUBE

1. Before starting up or operating fan, check all fasteners for tightness. In particular, check the setscrews in wheel hub (and pulleys, if applicable).

2. While in the OFF position or before connecting the fan to power, turn the fan wheel by hand to be sure it is not striking the venturi or any obstacle.

3. Start the fan and shut it off immediately to check rotation of the wheel with directional arrow in the motor compartment, see ﬁgure 8.

4. When the fan is started, observe the operation and check for any unusual noises.

5. With the system in full operation and all ductwork attached, measure current input to the motor and compare with the nameplate rating to determine if the motor is operating under safe load conditions.

6. Keep inlets and approaches to fan clean and free from obstruction.

IMPORTANT

Adjust (tighten) belt tension after the ﬁrst 24-48 hours of operation.

Inspection: CUE/CUBE

Inspection of the fan should be conducted at the ﬁrst 30 minute and 24 hour intervals of satisfactory operation.

30 Minute Interval

Inspect bolts, setscrews and motor mounting bolts. Adjust and tighten as necessary.

24 Hour Interval

Check all internal components. On CUBE unit only, inspect belt alignment and tension. Adjust and tighten as necessary.

Maintenance: CUE / CUBE

Installation and maintenance are to be performed only by qualiﬁed personnel who are familiar with local codes and regulations and who are experienced with this type of equipment.

Motor maintenance is generally limited to cleaning and lubrication (where applicable). Cleaning should be limited to exterior surfaces only. Removing dust buildup on motor housing ensures proper motor cooling.

Greasing of motors is only intended when ﬁttings are provided. Many fractional horsepower motors are permanently lubricated and should not be lubricated after installation. Motors supplied with grease ﬁttings should be greased in accordance with manufacturers’ recommendations. Where motor temperatures do not exceed 104ºF (40ºC), the grease should be replaced after 2,000 hours of running time as a general rule.

Wheels require very little attention when moving clean air. Occasionally, oil and dust may accumulate causing imbalance. When this occurs the wheel and housing should be cleaned to ensure smooth and safe operation.

All fasteners should be checked for tightness each time maintenance checks are performed prior to restarting unit.

A proper maintenance program will help these units deliver years of dependable service.

WARNING

Always disconnect, lock and tag power source before servicing. Failure to disconnect power source can result in ﬁre, shock or serious injury.

CAUTION

Uneven cleaning of the wheel will produce an out of balance condition that will cause vibration in the fan.

WARNING

This unit should be made non-functional when cleaning the wheel or housing (fuses removed, disconnect locked off).

Belt/Bearing Maintenance CUBE Unit

1. Belts tend to stretch after a period of time. They should be checked periodically for wear and tightness. When replacing belts, use the same type as supplied with the unit.

2. Matched belts should always be used on units with multi-groove pulleys.

3. For belt replacement, loosen the tensioning device enough to allow removal of the belt by hand.

4. Once installed, adjust belts as shown in “Pre-Starting Checks.”

5. Shaft bearings can be classiﬁed in two groups: relubricating and non-relubricating. All non-relubricating bearings on standard Model CUBE fans are factory lubricated and require no further lubrication under normal use (between -20º to 180ºF (-29º to 82ºC) in a relatively clean environment).

6. On CUBE belt driven fans, the standard cast pillow block bearings are factory lubricated and are

provided with external grease ﬁttings. Annual lubrication is recommended, or more frequently if needed, see Table 2. Do not over-grease. Use only one or two shots of lubricant with a hand gun. Maximum hand gun rating is 40 psi. Rotate bearings during lubrication where good safety practice permits. Caution should be employed to prevent over packing or contamination.

7. Grease ﬁttings should be wiped clean. The unit should be in operation while lubricating. Extreme care should be used around moving parts.

8. Grease should be pumped in very slowly until a slight bead forms around the seal. A high grade lithium base grease should be used.

9. When installing restaurant exhaust applications follow NFPA 70 for cleaning fans.

10. Grease containers must be emptied at regular intervals to prevent overﬂow.

11. To ensure tightness, check pulley setscrews. Proper keys must be in keyways.

12. Fan RPM should not be readjusted. Only use pulleys of identical size and type when replacing pulleys.

13. During the ﬁrst few months of operation check bearing set screws periodically to ensure tightness.

14. If unit is to be left idle for an extended period, remove belts and store in a cool, dry place to avoid premature belt failure.

Recommended Relubrication Frequency in Months

NOTE: If unusual environment conditions exist (extreme temperature, moisture or contaminants) more frequent lubrication is required.

A good quality lithium base grease, conforming to NLGI Grade 2 consistency, such as those listed here may be used.

Poor

Good

In order to assure proper fan performance, caution must be exercised in fan placement and connection to the ventilation system. Obstructions, transitions, poorly designed elbows, improperly selected dampers, etc, can cause reduced performance, excessive noise and increased mechanical stress. For performance to be as published, the system must provide uniform and stable airflow into the fan.

Good

Poor

Dampers must open fully. Use motorized dampers in low airflow applications to reduce losses.

Poor

Avoid sharp turns or entrance conditions which cause uneven flow. Use turning vanes in elbows to reduce adverse effects.

Provide uniform airflow at fan inlet to assure optimum performance.

Good

Provide uniform airflow at fan inlet and through the damper to assure optimum performance. The curb cap should be three wheel diameters from the radius. Use turning vanes in duct when possible.
