Operation Guidelines

Operation Guidelines

Startup Checks 

When performing startup and service, always take thorough 
safety precautions. Only trained, experienced personnel should 
perform these functions.

Before Starting the Unit:

Before entering fan section, make sure that fan electrical 
power source is disconnected and locked in the OFF position.

1

Check that the unit is completely and properly installed 
with ductwork connected. 

2

Check that construction debris is removed/filters are clean.

3

Check that all electrical work is complete and properly 
terminated.

4

Check that all electrical connections are tight and that the 
proper voltage is connected. Phase imbalance must not 
exceed 2%.

5

Check that ball bearings on the fan shaft and motor are 
prelubricated and do not need grease before startup. 

6

Check tightness of setscrews in bearings and fan wheel(s). 
If retightening is needed, position the fan wheel(s) per 
Table 2 or Table 3 on page 17. Torque set screws per 
Table 6 on page 18.

7

Check alignment of fan and motor sheaves and belt tension. 
Adjust if necessary. Check tightness of sheave setscrews 
and/or capscrews. See Figure 36 and Figure 37 on page 27.

8

Leak test the thermal system to verify that connections are 
tight.

9

Check that the condensate drain is trapped.

10

Rotate the shaft by hand to be sure it is free.

Fan Startup:

Start and run fan. Observe the rotation. If the fan operates 
backward, reverse two legs of the three-phase motor 
connections.

Note: 

Variable pitch fan drives usually are provided for 
operation in the mid-speed adjustment range. However, 

WARNING

Rotating fan. 

Can cause severe injury or death. Before 

servicing fans, lockout and tag out power.

AVERTISSEMENT

Ventilateur en rotation.

 Peut causer des blessures sévères 

ou même la mort. Avant d’effectuer l’entretien des ventilateurs, 
bloquer et couper la tension.

WARNING

Fire/electric shock hazard

. Can cause property damage, 

personal injury or death. Wire fan power supply and ground 
motor frame in accordance with local electric codes.

AVERTISSEMENT

Risques d´incendie et d’électrocution pouvant causer des 
dommages matériels, des blessures et même la mort.

 

L’alimentation électrique du moteur du ventilateur de même 
que la mise à la terre du chàssis du moteur doivent être faits 
conformément aux codes d’installations électriques en 
vigueur.

WARNING

Fan motor requires overload protection. 

Failure to provide 

motor overload protection can result in fire, property damage, 
electric shock, personal injury, or death. Connect motor to an 
overload protective device rated in compliance with local 
electric codes.

AVERTISSEMENT

Risques d’incendie et d’électrocution pouvant causer des 
dommages matériels, des blessures et même la mort. 

Connecter au moteur du ventilateur électrique un dispositif de 
protection contre les surcharges conforme aux codes 
d’installations électriques en vigueur.

CAUTION

Do not overheat fan motor. 

High air temperatures in the fan 

section can cause the fan motor to burnout. On draw-through 
air handlers or air handlers with the fan section down the air 
stream from the heating section, the discharge air temperature 
of the heating section must not exceed 104°F (40°C).

ATTENTION

Risques de dommages dans le moteur du ventilateur 
électrique.

 Si Ia température de l’air a proximité du 

ventilateurest élevée, le moteurdu ventilateur électrique peut 
chauffer et brûler. Sur les transmetteurs d’air à circulation 
transversale ou les transmetteurs dont le ventilateur est en 
aval de l’unité de chauffage, régler la température de l’air 
sortant de l’unité de chauffage à 40°C (104°F).

CAUTION

Equipment damage due to loose fasteners represents 
improper start-up and equipment abuse. It is not covered by 
the warranty.

ADVERTISSEMENT

Les dommages dus à des attaches installées de façon 
inappropriée représentent un démarrage inadéquat et un 
abus d’équipement. Ceci n’est pas couvert par la garantie.
