Operation and Maintenance

4.

1) 

INITIAL START-UP:

  With electrical power off, verify that the fan propeller 

turns freely and that all fasteners are secure. With shutter in place, turn on 
electrical power and confirm that the fan operates smoothly.

2) 

TEMPERATURE

 

ADJUSTMENTS

:  Set the fan control to the temperature 

shown on your Munters ventilation system drawing, or to a value which will 
provide the desired environmental conditions.

4.1 Operation

WARNING

!

Moving parts, disconnect 

power before servicing.

WARNING

!

High Voltage, disconnect 

power before servicing.

WARNING

!

Do not power wash 

electrical devices.

WARNING

!

Do not apply power 

with shutter out.

4.2 Maintenance

The following inspection and cleaning procedures should be performed 

monthly:

1) 

INSPECT PROPELLER

: Check that propeller is secure on drive hub and that 

 

there are no signs of damage. The blades are of a self-cleaning design and 
should not require maintenance.

2) 

CLEAN

 regularly for best results:

 

• FAN MOTOR:

 Remove any dust accumulation from motor using a 

brush or cloth. (DO NOT use a pressure washer). A clean motor will run 
cooler and last longer. At the same time, verify that the motor is secure in 
its mount.

 

• SHUTTER: 

Carefully clean dust from shutter and frame so that shutter 

opens and closes freely. A brush or cloth should be used.

 

• GUARD:

 Clean any dust or feathers from fan guards using a brush. 

Dirty guards can reduce airflow.

3) 

CHECK FASTENERS:

 For safety, all fasteners should be inspected. Tighten 

any  loose connections.

4) 

INSPECT FAN CONTROL: 

With power disconnected, inspect all electrical 

connections. Wiring should be secure and in good condition. Remove any 
dust build-up from control case and sensor using a soft brush or cloth.

 

NEVER CLEAN ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT WITH A PRESSURE WASHER!
