Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Please read and save these instructions for future reference. Read carefully before attempting to assemble,
install, operate or maintain the product described. Protect yourself and others by observing all safety
information. Failure to comply with these instructions will result in voiding of the product warranty and may
result in personal injury and/or property damage.
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 seismic
activity is 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 propeller 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 propeller faster than max
cataloged fan RPM. Adjustments to fan speed
with a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) may affect
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.
