LOCATION
1. When fan is installed, you must allow a minimum of 10
feet between floor and bottom of fan blades.
2. For this model, the center of the fan must be located at
least 32" from any vertical surface – wall, doors, partitions,
etc. This allows minimum clearance for fan blades.
3. Do not mount fan below, next to or between air ducts,
beams or any other obstructions which may interfere with
the natural air flow pattern created by the fan.
4. Place fans near constantly opening doors and shipping
bays to produce and “air shield” effect that helps keep out
cold air in winter and dust, odors and insects in the
summer.
5. If desired, fans can be installed directly above heat
producing machinery to reclaim the heated air.
6. For maximum air flow, fans should be located above
aisles in warehouses and storage areas.
7. Make sure fan voltage is compatible with you electrical
system.
