General Safety Information

WARNING: DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE
INSTALLING OR SERVICING THIS EQUIPMENT.

1. All electrical wiring should be done by a qualified
electrician in accordance with applicable National
Electrical Code and local electrical codes.

2. Do not allow moving blades to come in contact with
any part of the body.

3. Mount fan so that fan blades are 7 feet or higher
from floor.

4. Make sure hanger hooks are mounted securely to
structural ceiling members.

5. Do not mount in an area which will allow the fan to
get wet.

WARNING: DO NOT USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE
ATMOSPHERE.

6. Make certain that the ground wire is connected to
the ground terminal and to a suitable electrical
ground.

NOTE: When mountedin cathedral ceilings, the blade tip
should be at least 12 inches from the angled roof line to
prevent air “blow back” causing possible fan sway.

CAUTION: Read and follow instructions carefully.
Failure to comply with instructions could result in
the risk of fire, shock and injury to persons.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL
INJURY DO NOT BEND THE BLADE BRACKETS
WHEN INSTALLING THE BRACKETS OR CLEANING
THE FAN. DO NOT INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS IN
BETWEEN ROTATING FAN BLADES.

Description

Leading Edge Fans are designed as a dual purpose
product. By minimizing temperature stratification in
winter, they can reduce heating costs in high bay
buildings. The summertime application provides a gentle
downward movement of air for general air recirculation
and evaporative cooling. A permanent split capacitor
motor and permanently lubricated ball bearings add to
the efficiency and quietness of the fans.

Unpacking

1. Remove fan components from carton carefully.

2. Check for shipping damage.

3. Check for missing parts against parts list.

RECOMMENDED MOUNTING HEIGHTS

For heat reclamation, this fan should be mounted on the
standard 2’ downrod included. In low ceiling applications,
the 8” downrod must be used in order to keep the fan
blades a minimum of 7’ from the floor. On installations
through drop ceilings, note the diameter of the downrod
hole in the ceiling should be 2

CAUTION: Fan blades should not be mounted lower
than 7 feet above the floor.

Assembly

This fan includes a “secondary support” safety cable fea­ture that complies with existing C.S.A. (Canadian
Standards Association) requirements and all other
proposed safety regulations for overhead air movement
equipment. To insure proper installation of this important
safety feature, please read and follow these instructions
carefully.

1. Carefully unwrap the coiled safety cable and motor
lead wires.

2. At the motor yoke assembly (A), remove the cotter pin
and loosen the hexagon nut. Carefully remove spring
washer and the hexagon screw (E).

3. Slide the upper canopy cover (B) (bell shaped) up the
rod. Slide the lower canopy cover (C) up to rod.

4. Feed the three motor lead wires and the safety cable
through the center hole in the steel yoke above the
motor housing and then continue feeding wires and
cable through the downrod until the wires and cable
come out at the upper (shackle) end.

5. Reconnect the downrod to the steel yoke and replace
the hexagon screw. Secure the spring washer, hexa­gon nut, and the cotter pin making sure cotter pin is
spread to secure in place.

NOTICE: The safety cable should be taped to one side
of the yoke with electrical tape to prevent the cable from
resting on top of motor during running operation.

(See Figure 2)

6. Slide the lower canopy (C) to allow a 1/4” minimum
height above the motor.

CAUTION: Do not allow the permanently installed
lower canopy to touch the revolving motor as dam­age will occur. Make sure all wires are securely
placed to avoid rubbing against the motor.

7.Attach the three blades, curved side down to the motor
with the insulation pad mounted between the blade
and the motor (See Figure 5). Make sure blade hold­er is flat against motor platform when tightening blade
nuts for secure fit.

CAUTION: Blades must be fastened to the motor as
shown in Figure 1. DO NOT reverse blades when
installing.

NOTE: Blades are weight balanced per set. DO NOT mix
on multiple fan installations.

NOTE:Do not bend fan blade brackets.

WARNING: DISCONNECT CIRCUIT POWER BEFORE
MAKING ANY ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury,
install the primary mounting directly from building
structure and use only the hardware provided with
the fan.

8. Before attaching the appropriate “J” hook to the
building structure member note the following:

IMPORTANT. WHEN MOUNTING THIS FAN, THE
SUPPORT BEAM MUST BE SUITABLE FOR A 50

(See Figure 1)

OUND LOAD LIMIT.

CAUTION: If Pilot hole is used with the wood thread
hook, the pilot hole should be drilled no larger than
the minor diameter of the screw threads on the hook.
Do not put lubricant on the “J” hook. At least 1
the screw threads should be inserted into the
structural wood joist. When the threaded bolt hook
is used, be careful to secure tightly with supplied
lockwashers and nuts. Attach the hook as instructed
and hang the fan.

9. This fan is equipped with the required “secondary
support” cable. This cable must be affixed to the
beam structures and securely clamped in such a man­ner to support the weight of the fan in the event the
mounting hook or other parts fail. After wrapping cable
around a structural member that will support 300
lbs., secure cable with supplied cable clamps as
illustrated in Figure 3. (Note: Any additional materials
needed for specific installations may be purchased
from your local distributor.)

NOTICE: Leave approximately 3” but no more than 5” of
slack on this safety cable to allow for possible fan
movement. Do not exceed more than 5” total slack.

IMPORTANT CAUTION: The safety cable must not be
placed between the rubber roller and hook but as
illustrated in Figure 3.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: It is important to note proper
installation position of the cable clamps as illustrated in
Figure 4. To obtain maximum holding power, install
U-bolt section of clip on dead or short end of cable and
saddle on long end of cable. Improper installation
reduces the efficiency of the connection by as much as
40 percent.

13. If a remote speed control is to be used refer to the
installation included with that control for proper in-

installation and wiring.

14. Restore power.

15. After completing installation, test run fan in normal
operating manner. Inspect for any possible shake or
wobble which may be caused by binding as a result
of “tight cable“. If this should happen, shut off power
supply and re-check instructions to correct problem.

NOTE: When any solid state motor speed control is
used, a humming noise will be present in the fan on low
speed. This hum in no way affects the operation of the
fan and is acceptable in most industrial installations. (Not
applicable to Models 4820-3 and 5600-3).

CAUTION: Do not flip switch from forward to reverse
or vice versa without waiting for motor to stop.
Damage to motor or driven equipment can result.

WARNING: DISCONNECT CIRCUIT POWER BEFORE
MAKING ANY ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.

11. Run the wires from the downrod assembly to the
electrical supply using appropriate wiring in accor­dance with the local code. Connect with listed wire
connectors available from your local distributor.
Connect black to black, white to white, and green
grounding lead to the grounded conductor of the
supply circuit. No loose strands or loose connections
should be present. After splices are made, the wires
should be spread apart so that the green and white
are on one side of the outlet box and the black is on
the other side. Turn splices upward and carefully
push all wiring into outlet box.

12. Slide the upper canopy (B) up the rod to within 1/4”
of the ceiling or beam and securely tighten the set
screw (F).

WARNING: THIS FAN HAS AN INTERNAL SELF­RESETTING THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTOR.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY
BEFORE SERVICING.

LUBRICATION

All bearings are permanently lubricated and do not
require further lubrication.

CLEANING

This fan may be wiped off with a damp cloth. Do not
allow the motor to get wet. Do not use solvents or harsh
detergent.

CAUTION: Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch
power off at service panel and lock service
disconnecting means to prevent power from being
switched on accidentally. When the service
disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely
fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to
the service panel.
