®
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.
2. The rotation of the impeller 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 allow the power cable to kink or come in
contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces or chemicals.
Replace cord immediately if damaged.
5. Verify that the power source is compatible with the
equipment.
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.
Receiving
Upon receiving the product, check to ensure all items
are accounted for by referencing the delivery receipt or
packing list. Inspect each crate or carton for shipping
damage before accepting delivery. Alert the carrier of
any damage detected. The customer will note damage
(or shortage of items) on the delivery receipt and all
copies of the bill of lading which is countersigned by
the delivering carrier. If damaged, contact your local
representative immediately. Any physical damage to
the unit after acceptance is not the responsibility of the
manufacturer.
Unpacking
Verify that all required parts and the correct quantity of
each item have been received using the component list
on pages 5-6. If any items are missing, report shortages
to your local representative to arrange for obtaining
missing parts. Sometimes it is not possible that all
items for the unit be shipped together due to availability
of transportation and truck space. Confirmation of
shipment(s) must be limited to only items on the bill of
lading.
Storage
Fans are protected against damage during shipment. If
the unit cannot be installed and operated immediately,
precautions need to be taken to prevent deterioration of
the unit during storage. The user assumes responsibility
of the fan and accessories while in storage. The
manufacturer will not be responsible for damage during
storage. These suggestions are provided solely as a
convenience to the user.
Indoor -
The ideal environment for the storage of
fans and accessories is indoors, above grade, in a low
humidity atmosphere that is sealed to prevent the entry
of blowing dust, rain or snow. Temperatures should be
evenly maintained between 30° to 110°F (-1° to 43°C).
Wide temperature swings may cause condensation
and “sweating” of metal parts. All accessories must be
stored indoors in a clean, dry atmosphere.
Remove any accumulations of dirt, water, ice or snow
and wipe dry before moving to indoor storage. To avoid
“sweating” of metal parts, allow cold parts to reach
room temperature. To dry parts and packages, use a
portable electric heater to get rid of any moisture build
up. Leave coverings loose to permit air circulation and
to allow for periodic inspection.
The unit should be stored at least 31/2 in. (89 mm) off the
floor on wooden blocks covered with moisture proof
paper or polyethylene sheathing. Aisles between parts
and along all walls should be provided to permit air
circulation and space for inspection.
Inspection & Maintenance During Storage
While in storage, inspect fans once per month. Keep a
record of inspection and maintenance performed.
If moisture or dirt accumulations are found on parts,
the source should be located and eliminated. If paint
deterioration begins, consideration should be given to
touch-up or repainting. Fans with special coatings may
require special techniques for touch-up or repair.
Machined parts coated with rust preventive should be
restored to good condition promptly if signs of rust
occur. Immediately remove the original rust preventive
coating with petroleum solvent and clean with lint free
cloths. Polish any remaining rust from surface with
crocus cloth or fine emery paper and oil. Do not destroy
the continuity of the surfaces. Thoroughly wipe clean
with Tectyl
®
506 (Ashland Inc.) or the equivalent. For
hard to reach internal surfaces or for occasional use,
consider using Tectyl
®
511M Rust Preventive, WD-40
®
or the equivalent.
