Screw
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° to43°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.
Installation
WARNING
Installation, troubleshooting and parts replacement
is to be performed only by qualified personnel.

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.

Fan Inlet Connections
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.
