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.
