Receiving
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 notication 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 lled out by the carrier upon arrival and reported to the Trafc Department. If damaged upon arrival, le 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. Conrmation of shipment(s) must be limited to only items on the bill of lading.
Handling
The motor amperage and voltage ratings must be checked for compatibility to supply voltage prior to nal electrical connection. For CW/CWB installations,
2
Model CW/CWB • Centrifugal Sidewall Exhaust Fans
the electrical supply should be routed through the conduit chase located between the mounting plate and the bottom of the motor compartment. Wiring must conform to local and national codes.
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.
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. Greenheck Fan Corporation 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 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)

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.
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.
Installation
These fans exhaust directly away from the building, therefore their location and placement should be analyzed. Proximity to nearby buildings and people must be considered.
Access to the motor compartment is accomplished by removing the screws from the cover. The cover can then be removed and placed on a flat surface in an area protected from strong winds.
The motor’s amperage and voltage rating must be checked for compatibility to the supply voltage prior to final electrical connection. For NFPA Restaurant Applications, the electrical supply must enter the
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 lm or tarps as these
motor compartment through the breather tube. For other non-flammable applications the electrical supply can be routed through the conduit chase between the mounting plate and the bottom of the motor compartment. Consult local code authorities for your specific requrements. UL/cUL 762 Installations are for Restaurant Applications.
All CWB fans and CW fans with A, B and C motor RPMs are the only fans approved for this installation. All must include the suffix “G”.
All fans must be installed per NFPA 96 and meet all local code requirements. In addition, the maximum operating temperature at the fan must not exceed
375°F (191°C). 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.
Typical Wall Mounting Installation
1. Remove mounting plate from unit by removing the fasteners shown above marked by (1). Remove motor compartment cover by removing fasteners
Inspection and Maintenance During
marked by (2).
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 fteen 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 ne emery paper and oil. Do not destroy the continuity of the surfaces. Thoroughly wipe 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, WD-40 or the equivalent.
Removing From Storage
As fans are removed from storage to be installed in their nal location, they should be protected and maintained
2. Locate the mounting plate (3) at the desired position and check to avoid unit clearance problems. Cut the wall opening (4) as shown based upon dimensions obtained from the Dimensional Data Section. Locate top of mounting plate (decal) and attach to the wall construction. The fasteners must pass through the holes provided in the mounting angle clips (5) on the
®
mounting plate (3). For uneven surfaces, shims may be required. Sealant or caulking should be applied in the groove (6) formed by the mounting plate and the wall to prevent moisture leakage into the building.

3. Once the mounting plate has been attached to the wall, the unit can be installed. The unit should be aligned with the breather tube (7) pointing down. The electrical chase should be guided through the hole in the motor compartment. The horizontal support channels (8) should slide over the mounting angle clips (10) on the mounting plate until the holes in the windband and clips are aligned. Replace fasteners (9) and tighten. Wiring now can be done. Consult local code authorities for your specific requirements.
4. During shipping, wheel position may shift. Alignment should be as shown above (centered in the inlet) and can be accomplished by loosening the fasteners (11) located in the motor compartment. For belt drive units, additional vertical alignment can be accomplished by loosening the four fasteners on the drive frame support angles, and the 2 fasteners that hold the L-brackets to the support angles on top (13). Also, horizontal alignment can be made by loosening the bearings from the bearing plate. Removal of the entire power pack (motor, drives and wheel) for maintenance or cleaning can be accomplished by removing the breather tube (12) and fasteners (11).

13. The adjustable motor pulley is factory set for the RPM specied. Speed can be increased by closing or decreased by opening the adjustable motor pulley. Two groove variable pitch pulleys must be adjusted an equal number of turns open or closed.
14. Any increase in speed represents a substantial increase in the horsepower required by the unit.
15. Motor amperage should always be checked to avoid serious damage to the motor when speed is varied.
Operation: CW/CWB
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 gure 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.

Inspection: CW/CWB
Inspection of the fan should be conducted at the rst 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 CWB unit only, inspect belt alignment and tension. Adjust and tighten as necessary.
IMPORTANT
Adjust (tighten) belt tension after the rst 24-48 hours of operation.
Maintenance: CW/CWB
A proper maintenance program will help these units deliver years of dependable service. Installation and maintenance are to be performed only by qualied 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 ttings are provided. Many fractional horsepower motors are permanently lubricated and should not be lubricated after installation. Motors supplied with grease ttings 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.
Belt/Bearing Maintenance CWB 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. Do not force the belts on or off. This may cause cords to break, leading to premature failure.
WARNING
Always disconnect, lock and tag power source before servicing. Failure to disconnect power source can result in re, 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).
4. Once installed, adjust belts as shown in “Pre-Starting Checks.”
5. Shaft bearings can be classied in two groups:relubricating and non-relubricating. All non-relubricating bearings on standard model CWB 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. Units installed in hot, humid or dirty locations should be equipped with special bearings. These bearings will require frequent lubrication. On CWB belt driven fans, the standard cast pillow block bearings are factory lubricated and are provided with external grease ttings. 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 ttings 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 overow.
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 rst 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.
