Pre-Installation Check of Shutter.
Before installation, carefully check for shipping damage which
may affect the operation of the unit. Concealed damage to the
shutter is possible. If damage is found, file a claim
immediately with the delivering carrier.
DO NOT
INSTALL FAN WITH MOVING PARTS WITHIN 8
FEET OF FLOOR OR GRADE LEVEL WITHOUT A GUARD
THAT COMPLIES WITH OSHA REGULATIONS.
DO NOT
USE UNLESS ELECTRICAL WIRING COMPLIES WITH
ALL APPLICABLE CODES.
DO NOT
WIRE WITHOUT
PROVIDING FOR A POWER SOURCE DISCONNECT AT
THE FAN ITSELF.
DO NOT
SERVICE EXCEPT BY A
QUALIFIED MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN AND ONLY
AFTER DISCONNECTING THE POWER SOURCE.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE PRECAUTIONS CAN
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
CAUTION
WARNING
Form No. 610-40-12 (June, 2019)
Fan Shutter Spacing.
For improved fan performance and extended fan and shutter
life, a space equal to one-half of the propeller diameter
between the fan and shutter is recommended. If job
conditions will not provide recommended space, the
following minimums should be observed:
S24 - S48 ............................ 5 inches
S54 - S84 .............................7 inches
Installation Procedures.
CAUTION: The Type S shutter is made up of many precision
made parts. For the shutter to function properly, care must be
taken when mounting and installing to avoid damage.
a) Do not twist the shutter frame or force shutter when
attaching it to the wall opening.
b) Caulk around the edge of flanges and wall to prevent
water leakage.
c) When face-mounting the shutter to a wall, caulk joint of
top flange and shutter frame. See Fig 1 and Detail 1.
d) When flush mounting the shutter, caulk joint of bottom
flange and shutter frame, and also under weep holes
(recommended bead of caulk along the bottom edge of the
shutter frame before flange is attached) see Figure 2 and
Detail 2. After the flange is attached, caulk under weep hole to
avoid leaking behind the flange. Do not block weep holes with
caulk.
Note
: When flush mounted, the bottom flange must
be behind the bent edge of the bottom filler strip
(see Detail 2). Wall opening should be a minimum
1/4” larger than the shutter frame.
Alternate Installation Methods.
All shutter models are shipped with flanges detached (but in
the same carton as the shutter). This allows the shutter to be
mounted either to the outside face of the wall opening
(Figure 1), or recessed into the wall opening and flush with the
outside wall (Figure 2). The shutter may also be mounted
without the use of flanges if desired.
e) If the shutter is mounted without the use of flanges, do not
attach to the wall opening through the side of the shutter
frame. Instead, use angle clips and holes through which flange
is normally attached.
f) On 42”- 60” shutters, the center flanges (two shortest
flanges) need to be mounted to the center frame rail of the
shutter in order to minimize air and water leakage. The rear
center flange, which has 5 holes, mounts to the tiebar (or
blade linkage) side of the shutter. The front center flange,
which has 3 holes, mounts on the opposite side of the shutter.
Note: When attaching the top and bottom flanges
to the top and bottom frame rails of the shutter,
make sure that the large hole on the corner of
the flange fits over the rivets on the corner of the
shutter frame. See Detail 2.
