Personal Safety
Disconnect switches are recommended. Place
the disconnect switch near the fan in order that
the power can be swiftly cut off in case of an
emergency, and in order that maintenance personnel are provided complete control of the
power source.

WARNING
This unit has rotating parts. Safety precautions
should be exercised at all times during installation,
operation, and maintenance.
ALWAYS disconnect power prior to working on fan.

Receiving and Inspection
Carefully inspect the fan and accessories for any damage and shortage immediately upon receipt of the fan.
• Turn the wheel by hand to ensure it turns freely and
does not bind.
• Check dampers (if included) for free operation of all
moving parts.
• Record on the Delivery Receipt any visible sign of
damage.
Handling
Lift the fan by the base or by the shipping carton. Never
lift by the shaft, motor or housing.
Damper Installation
If your fan is supplied with dampers, follow the directions
below. If your fan does not include dampers, proceed to
Belt and Pulley Installation.
a. Place the damper inside the curb. Ensure the dam pe r
will open freely for the correct direction of the airflow.
b. Secure to curb at the damper shelf.
c. Drill a hole in the curb shelf for conduit needed for
motor wiring.
d. Operate the dampers manually to ensure the blades
move freely. Dampers should be released from full
open position to check for proper closing.
e. Install fan over curb with the conduit location in line
with the conduit hole in the curb.
Belt and Pulley Installation
Belt tension is determined by the sound of the belts when
the fan is first started. The belts will produce a loud squeal,
which dissipates after the fan is operating at full capacity. If
belt tension is too tight or too loose, lost efficiency and dam age can occur.
Do not change the pulley pitch diameter to change ten-
sion. The change will result in a different fan speed.
Storage
If the fan is stored for any length of time prior to installation, store it in its original shipping crate and protect it from
dust, debris and the weather.
Installation
To prevent damage to the fan during shipping, motors 5
HP and larger, and extremely heavy motors (cast iron or
severe duty) are shipped loose and must be field mounted
by bolting the motor on the motor mounting plate in the
existing mounting slots.

GAP
a. Loosen the motor plate adjustment bolts on motor base
and move motor plate in order that the belts can easily
slip into the grooves on the pulleys. Never pry, roll, or
force the belts over the rim of the pulley.
b. Adjust the motor plate until proper tension is reached.
For proper tension, a deflection of approximately 1/4”
per foot of center distance should be obtaine d by firmly
pressing the belt. Refer to Figure 1.
c. Lock the motor plate adjustment bolts in place.
d. Ensure pulleys are properly aligned. Refer to Figure 2.
Pulley Alignment
Pulley alignment is adjusted by loosening the motor pulley
setscrew and by moving the motor pulley on the motor shaft.
Figure 2 indicates where to measure the allowable gap
for the drive alignment tolerance. All contact points (indicated by WXYZ) are to have a gap less than the tolerance
shown in the table. When the pulleys are not the same
width, the allowable gap must be adjusted by half of the difference in width. Figure 3 illustrates using a carpenter’s
square to adjust the position of the motor pulley until the
belt is parallel to the longer leg of the square.
Refer to the Wiring Diagrams, next page.
Lock off all power sources before unit is
wired to power source.
Leave enough slack in the wiring to allow
for motor movement when adjusting belt tension. Some fractional motors have to be
removed in order to make the connection with
the terminal box at the end of the motor.
Figure 3
Follow the wiring diagram in the disconnect switch and
the wiring diagram provided with the motor. Correctly
label the circuit on the main power box and always
identify a closed switch to promote safety (i.e., red tape
over a closed switch).
Fan Installation
The fan support (roof curb) should provide a level surf ace
for installation. If the roof is pitched more than 1/2:12, a
sloped curb must be used to correct for the incline. Place
fan over roof opening. Secure the fan with lag screws,
anchor bolts, or other suitable fasteners.
For easier installation larger size fans may be disassembled on the ground and transported to the roof in sections.
However, if the sections are not assembled properly the
wheel may rub against the fan inlet causing noise.
This can be prevented by:
• Ensuring the wheel is tightly fastened on the shaft.
• Ensuring the wheel is not dropped on the shaft before
the setscrews are tightened.
Should interference occur, disconnect the power source.
Refer to Bearing Replacement on page 5.
Wiring Installation
All wiring should be in accordance with local ordinances
and the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. Ensure the
power supply (voltage, frequency, and current carrying
capacity of wires) is in accordance with the motor nameplate.
Final Installation Steps
a. Inspect fasteners and setscrews, particularly fa n
mounting and bearing fasteners, and tighte n according
to the recommended torque shown in the table on page
4, Recommended Torque for Setscrews/Bolts.
b. Inspect for correct amperage and voltage with an
ammeter and voltmeter.
c. Ensure all accessories are installed.
d. Inspect wheel-to-inlet clearance on power roof fans.
e. Test the fan to be sure the rotation is the same as indi-
cated by the arrow marked Rotation.
Do not allow the fan to run in the wrong direction.
This will overheat the motor and cause serious damage. For 3-phase motors, if the fan is running in the
wrong direction, check the control switch. If is possible
to interchange two leads at this location so that the fan
is operating in the correct direction.
