Model MSX Make-Up Air

Only qualified personnel should install this unit. 
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), the National 
Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), where applicable. 
Follow the Canadian Electric Code (CEC) in 
Canada.

General Safety Information

IMPORTANT

All factory provided lifting lugs must be used when 
lifting any unit. Failure to comply with this safety 
precaution could result in property damage, serious 
injury or death.

WARNING

Disconnect all electrical power to the fan and secure 
to the “OFF” position prior to inspection or servicing. 
Failure to comply with this safety precaution could 
result in serious injury or death.

WARNING

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service 
or maintenance can cause property damage, 
injury or death. Read the installation, operating 
and maintenance instructions thoroughly before 
installing or servicing this equipment.

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 maximum 

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 blower access doors while the fan is 

running.

DANGER

Always disconnect power before working on or 
near a unit. Lock and tag the disconnect switch or 
breaker to prevent accidental power up.

CAUTION

When servicing the unit, motor may be hot enough 
to cause pain or injury. Allow motor to cool before 
servicing.
