General Safety Information
Only qualified personnel should install this fan.
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, lock and tag power source before
installing or servicing. Failure to disconnect power source
can result in fire, shock or serious injury.
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) and
the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA),
where applicable. Follow the Canadian Electric
Code (CEC) in Canada.
2. The rotation of the wheel is critical. It must be
free to rotate without striking or rubbing any
stationary objects.
3. Motor must be securely and adequately
grounded.
4. Do not spin fan wheel faster than max cataloged
fan RPM. Adjustments to fan speed significantly
effects 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.
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
Move fan to desired location and fasten securely
through mounting holes in base. Shims may
be necessary depending upon roofing material
thickness. The following diagram depicts
dimensions for models NYD and NYB.
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.
A heavy-gauge stainless steel hasp allows the
unit to be padlocked for security. The hasp design
conceals the padlock beneath the housing skirt,
which keeps it out of sight and the weather.
The motor’s amperage and voltage ratings must
be checked for compatibility to supply voltage
prior to final electrical connection. Electrical lead-in
wires should be run through the conduit provided
between the curb 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. 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) (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.

(89mm) 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 touchup 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® 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 final location, they should be protected
and maintained in a similar fashion until the fan
equipment goes into operation.
Pre-Starting Checks
1. Check all fasteners and setscrews for tightness.
The wheel should rotate freely and be aligned
as shown in figure 2.

2. Wheel position is preset and the unit is test
run at the factory. Movement may occur during
shipment and realignment may be necessary.
3. Centering can be accomplished by loosening
the bolts holding the drive frame to the shock
mounts and repositioning the drive frame.
4. Wheel and inlet cone overlap can be adjusted
by loosening the setscrews in the wheel and
moving the wheel to the desired position.
5. Check wheel rotation by momentarily energizing
the unit. Rotation should be clockwise as shown
in figure 3 and correspond to the rotation decal
on the unit. Rotation is determined when the
unit is viewed from the motor or shaft pulley
side. If wheel rotation is incorrect reverse two
of the wiring leads or check motor wiring for
single-phase.
