Type IIType I
General Safety Information
Only qualified personnel should install this system.
Personnel should have a clear understanding of these
instructions and should be aware of general safety
precautions. Improper installation can result in electric
shock, possible injury due to coming in contact with
moving parts, as well as other potential hazards. Other
considerations may be required if high winds or seismic
activity are present. If more information is needed,
contact a licensed professional engineer before moving
forward.
DANGER
Always disconnect power before working on or near a
fan. Lock and tag the disconnect switch or breaker to
prevent accidental power up.
CAUTION
When servicing the fan, motor may be hot enough
to cause pain or injury. Allow motor to cool before
servicing.
CAUTION
Precaution should be taken in explosive atmospheres.
1. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as
the National Electrical Code (NEC), the National Fire
Protection Agency (NFPA), where applicable. Follow
the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) and ULC-S650 in
Canada.
2. The rotation of the fan wheel is critical. It must be free
to rotate without striking or rubbing any stationary
objects.
3. Fan motor must be securely and adequately
grounded.
4. Do not spin fan wheel faster than maximum
cataloged fan rpm. Adjustments to fan speed
significantly affects motor load. If the fan RPM is
changed, the motor current should be checked to
make sure it is not exceeding the motor nameplate
amps.
5. Do not allow the power cable to kink or come in
contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces or chemicals.
Replace cord immediately if damaged.
6. Verify that the power source is compatible with the
equipment.
7. Never open access doors to a duct while the fan is
running.

Receiving
Upon receiving the product, check to make sure all
items are accounted for by referencing the packing
list and ensuring 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 filed with the Traffic Department.
If damaged upon arrival, file 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. Filters are shipped
on a separate skid in their original packaging. Do not
remove factory packaging or install filters until just prior
to commissioning. Remove all other shipping/packing
materials including fan tie down straps.
Handling
Units are to be rigged and moved by the lifting brackets
provided or by the skid when a forklift is used. Location
of brackets varies by model and size. Handle in such
a manner as to keep from scratching or chipping the
coating. Damaged finish may reduce ability of unit to
resist corrosion.
Storage
Units 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 unit 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.
INDOOR - The ideal environment for the storage of
units 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°F (-1°C)
and 110°F (43°C). Wide temperature swings may
cause condensation and “sweating” of metal parts.
All accessories must be stored indoors in a clean, dry
atmosphere.
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.
OUTDOOR - Units designed for outdoor applications
may be stored outdoors, if absolutely necessary. Roads
or aisles for portable cranes and hauling equipment are
needed.
The unit should be placed on a level surface to prevent
water from leaking into it. The unit 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 unit 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.
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 fan wheel by hand ten to fifteen
revolutions to distribute lubricant on motor. Every three
months, the fan motor should be energized. 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 lintfree cloths. Polish any remaining rust from surface
with crocus cloth or fine emery paper and oil. Do not
destroy the continuity of the surfaces. Wipe thoroughly
clean with Tectyl® 506 (Ashland Inc.) or the equivalent.
For hard to reach internal surfaces or for occasional
use, consider using Tectyl® 511M Rust Preventive or
WD-40
Removing from Storage
As units are removed from storage to be installed
in their final location, they should be protected and
maintained in a similar fashion until the equipment goes
into operation. Prior to installing the unit and system
components, inspect the unit assembly to make sure it
is in working order.
• Check all fasteners, set screws on the fan, wheel,
• Rotate the fan wheel(s), where applicable, by hand

Installation
Wall or Single Island Style Hoods
NOTE
If you have a back supply plenum (BSP), this must be
installed before the hood. Please see page 5.
The installation of the canopy hoods shall be in
accordance with NFPA 96 (latest edition) Standard for
Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial
Cooking Operations and ULC-S650 in Canada.
Greenheck does not recommend walking or standing
on the hood top as damage can result and may
void the warranty. If you must walk on the hood top,
protect the hood with additional support and planks
for flooring.
For wall/single island style hoods, prior to installation,
check with local authorities having jurisdiction on
clearances to combustible surfaces, etc.
With the hood still inside its packing crate, position the
unit beneath its installation location. Carefully remove
the packing crate. Place some protective material on
the floor next to the crate to avoid damaging the hood
as it is tipped on its side. Tip the hood carefully onto the
protective material. If you have filler panels, install them
now; refer to page 5, Filler Panel Installation. If you have
integral filler panels, no additional installation is needed.
Hanging the Hood
Before hanging the hood according to the hood
installation instructions, please check the following if
applicable:
1. Make sure the back supply plenum is properly
secured, as described on page 5.
2. If the ductwork for the back supply will not interfere
with the hood installation, it should be connected
now.
3. Any filler panels should be attached to the hood
before the hood installation. See page 5 for
instructions.
4. Lift the hood, and position it so the filler panels are
resting lightly on the top outside edges of the back
supply. The back supply is used to position the
hood only, it is not intended to hold any hood
weight.

Hood Installation Overview
If a back supply plenum is provided, install it first. Before
raising the hood, insert 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) diameter
threaded rod (by others) into hanger brackets on hood
top. Check the engineering drawings or UL label located
on the inside of the hood for proper hood height above
finished floor. Install filler panels if needed. Raise and
hang the hood from adequate roof or ceiling supports
All hanger brackets must be used and the hood must
be properly supported while lifting to prevent damage
or distortion to the hood. The hood must be hung level
to operate properly. After the hood is secured, make the
exhaust duct connections. The fire system distributor
must be contacted at this time. After the fire system has
been installed, mount the enclosures, then the supply
plenums. If a horizontal supply plenum is provided, it
should be installed before the enclosures. Finally, make
the electrical connections from the switches to the fans
and complete the fire system circuits as required by the
job specification.
5. Connect the remaining ductwork for the back supply
and the hood. It is recommended that caulk be
applied at the mating seams and surfaces of the
back supply, the hood, and the wall.

Exhaust Air Balancing Baffles (EABB)
This is a guide to assist in determining if multiple
hoods on one fan can be balanced to have equal static
pressure. For multiple hoods on one fan to achieve their
designed exhaust flow, all of the hoods must have equal
static pressure at their designed exhaust flow.
The laws of physics force the static pressure for each
branch of a duct system on one fan to always be equal.
This will happen by the flow rate increasing in low static
branches and decreasing in high static branches until
the static pressure is equal in all branches.
Checking for Balance
Every hood with exhaust air balancing baffles (EABB)
has a range for its static pressure. The low static
pressure number (when EABB is open) in this range is
given by the standard calculation for hood static and is
printed on the CAPS submittal page for that hood. The
high static pressure number (when EABB is closed) in
this range can be found by calculating the maximum
potential increase of static and adding that value to the
low static pressure number.
High static pressure number = low static pressure
number + maximum increase
The maximum potential increase in static is given in the
graph, or can be calculated from the following formula:
Maximum Increase = 0.00000036 x (Duct velocity)

Step 1: Find the hood with the lowest static pressure
as shown on the CAPS submittal pages.
Step 2: Calculate the high static pressure number for
this hood as instructed above.
Step 3: Compare this high static pressure number to
the low static pressure number of the remaining hoods.
If the remaining hood’s low static pressure number is
lower than the high static pressure number calculated,
then the system can be balanced; if the low static
pressure number is higher than the calculated high
static pressure number, then the system cannot be
balanced. Refer to the examples.
Example 1:
Hood 1: Ps = 0.58 in. wg
Duct Velocity = 1900 ft/min.
Hood 2: Ps = 0.44 in. wg
Duct Velocity = 1800 ft/min.
Hood 2 has the lower Ps, at 1800 ft/min. the maximum
increase in Ps is 1.17. The range for Hood 2 is 0.44 to
1.61. Hood 1 is less than 1.61 so these hoods can be
balanced.
Example 2:
Hood 3: Ps = 2.00 in. wg
Duct Velocity = 2000 ft/min.
Hood 4: Ps = 0.44 in. wg
Duct Velocity = 1500 ft/min.
Hood 4 has the lower Ps, at 1500 ft/min. the maximum
increase in Ps is .81. The range for Hood 4 is 0.44 to
1.25. Hood 3 is higher than 1.25, so these hoods cannot
be balanced.
NOTE
For many systems, exhaust air balancing baffles may
not be needed on the hood that has the highest static
pressure. The exception to this is if the individual
ductwork has uneven static pressures.
NOTE
When sizing the fan, use the static pressure from the
highest hood and sum the CFM from all the hoods.
Balancing the Kitchen Exhaust
System
B. To determine proper kitchen air balance:
1. Refer to engineering drawings to determine total
exhaust from the kitchen area. (exhaust hoods,
dishwasher hoods, etc.)
2. Determine total CFM of make-up air supplied to
kitchen area. (make-up air hoods, heating and air
conditioning units, etc.)
3. Subtract #1 from #2 above. The result should be a
negative number. If the result is a positive number,
a positive pressure is present in the kitchen area.
Kitchen odors could be forced into the dining
area. Also, a positively balanced kitchen area can
adversely affect the performance of the exhaust
hood.
CAUTION
According to NFPA 96, Ch. 8-3 Replacement Air:
Replacement air quantity shall be adequate to prevent
negative pressures in the commercial cooking area(s)
from exceeding 4.98 kPa (0.02 in. wg).
NOTE
The airflow rates were established under controlled
laboratory conditions.
NOTE
Greater exhaust and/or lesser supply air may be
required for complete vapor and smoke control in
specific installations.
Testing Hood Air Volume - Rotating Vane
Method
Baffle Filter Style Hoods
A. Exhaust:
With all the filters in place, determine the total hood
exhaust volume with a rotating vane anemometer as
follows:
1. All cooking equipment should be on.
2. Measure the velocities. Velocity measurements
should be taken at five locations per filter. These
must be over a filter slot as in Fig. 6.
Fig. 6
A. To determine the proper dining room air balance:
1. Refer to engineering drawings to determine total
exhaust CFM from dining areas. (exhaust fans,
heating and air conditioning units, rest rooms, etc.)
2. Determine the total CFM of make-up air supplied
to dining area.
3. Subtract #1 from #2 above. If the result is a
negative number, a negative pressure is present in
the dining area. In this case, kitchen exhaust odors
could be drawn from the kitchen to the dining
area. Therefore, exhaust or supply air should be
adjusted to provide a slight positive pressure in
the dining area.

over openings. The conversion factor takes this
into account.
• For 20 in. (500 mm) high filters, position the grid
as shown in Fig. 15 and 16. Average the two
measurements.
• For 16 in. (400 mm) high filters position the grid as
shown in Fig. 17.
• For 20 in. (500 mm) wide filters, position the grid
over the left and right side of the filter. Average the
two measurements.
• Take velocity readings for each filter.
3. Calculate each filter’s volumetric flow rate as follows:
Calculate each filter’s average velocity by summing
the velocity readings and dividing by the number of
readings for each filter.
Multiply the average velocity by the conversion factor
to obtain the volumetric flow rate for each filter.
4. Calculate the hood’s total volumetric flow rate by
summing the volumetric flow rate of each individual
filter in the hood as calculated in Step 3.

Testing Hood Air Volume - Rotating Vane
Method
Short Circuit Hoods
A. Supply
All cooking equipment should be off. The hood exhaust
should also be off.
1. Measure Velocities
Velocity measurements should be made with a digital
2.75 in. (69.85 mm) rotating vane anemometer or its
equivalent.
One velocity measurement should be taken for
every 8 in. (203.2 mm) of short circuit opening
length, starting tight against one edge of the
opening, and finishing tight against the other edge.
The anemometer should be placed at the bottom
edge of the opening, flush with the bottom lip.
Both squareness and placement are important for
accuracy.
2. Calculate the average slot velocity.
3. Calculate the volumetric flow rate per linear foot by
dividing the average velocity by a conversion factor
of 5.52 per ft. If metric units are used, divide the
average velocity by a conversion factor of 1.68 per
meter.
4. Calculate the hoods supply volume by multiplying the
CFM per linear foot by the total hood length.
Example: 4 ft. (1.22 m) short circuit hood (36 inch (.914 m) short circuit opening
Number of readings = 36 in. / 8 in. => 6 readings (.914 m / .2 m => 6 readings)

Maintenance
FIG. 17
REMOVABLE AIR DIFFUSERS
Daily Maintenance
1. Wipe grease from exposed metal surfaces on the
hood interior using a clean, dry cloth.
2. Visually inspect the filters or cartridges for grease
accumulation.
3. Remove grease cup, empty contents and replace
cup.
Weekly Maintenance
1. Remove the grease filters or cartridges and wash in
dishwasher or pot sink.
Note: Filters installed over heavy grease
producing equipment may require more frequent
cleaning. See Filter Washing Frequency Guide,
page 28.
2. Before replacing filters, clean the interior plenum
surfaces of any residual grease accumulations.
Periodic Maintenance
1. Painted hood exterior surfaces should be cleaned
with a mild detergent solution.
2. Stainless steel hood exterior surfaces should be
cleaned with a mild detergent and then polished with
a good grade stainless steel polish to preserve the
original luster.
Note: Never use abrasive cleaners or chemicals
on hood surfaces. Never use chlorine based
cleaners or iron wool pads to clean the hood.
They may scratch or mar the material. Always rub
with the grain of the stainless.
3. To maintain optimum performance of your hood and
fan, duct cleaning should be performed as often as
the application and code requires.
4. Recaulk the hoods with an NSF Approved silicone
caulk, (GE SCS1009 or its equivalent) as needed.
5. Inspect the supply air discharge portion on external
supply plenums to ensure the airstream is free from
debris or other blockage.
Condensate Hood Baffle Installation,
Fig. 18 and 19
1. Grasp the baffle with drain holes facing down and lift
into the hood. For short hoods with only one baffle it
may be necessary to turn the baffle slightly diagonally
to fit it past the drain channel.
2. After the baffle clears the drain channel of the hood,
turn the baffle so it is lined up with the upper hanger
in the hood.
3. Hook the upper channel of the baffle over the upper
hanger of the hood and set the lower edge of the
baffle into the condensate gutter. Repeat until all
baffles are installed in the hood.
4. Center the baffle from side to side in the hood.

Step 3 Frequent Maintenance
NOTE
Required washing frequency is dependent on type of
cooking and quantity of food cooked.
- Remove filters from hood and place each filter in a
whirlpool sink or dishwasher.
- If using a whirlpool sink, cycle for 10 minutes. Use
standard dish wash soap. (3A)
- If using a dishwasher, cycle it three times to ensure
all grease is removed. (3B)
- If using standard sink, cover with hot water and
degreaser and soak for two hours. Rinse after
soaking.
3A3B
Whirlpool sink methodDishwasher method
NOTE
For hoods with large quantities of filters, it is
acceptable to wash three to four filters each day,
cycling all of the filters in three days.
NOTE
The beads will discolor. Standard cooking will turn the
beads yellow in color. Open flame cooking will cause
the beads to blacken. Neither affects the performance
of the filters.
Periodic Inspection
- Inspect filter fasteners. Verify they are not loose or
missing.
- Each filter may be soaked in hot soapy water for two
hours once a month prior to washing if grease buildup is found.
- Test for grease build-up by running water through the
filter. If water runs freely and no air gaps are in the
beaded pack, the filter is in working condition.
- Inspect the filters by holding it up to a light. Light
shining through more than six holes in a group
indicates filter damage.
- For filter replacement, call 1-800-355-5354
Step 4 Replace Grease Grabber™ filters in hood. Do
Step 2 in reverse order (2C, then 2B, then 2A).
Step 5 Replace the front Grease-X-Tractor filters. Do
Step 1 in reverse. Be sure to install filters in the
ends of the hood first, then install the filters in
the middle of the hood (1B, then 1A).
CAUTION
To prevent damage to filter media, do not wash
second stage filters in detergents that contain
hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide or potassium
hydroxide.
