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.

  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.

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.
