INSTALLATION
WARNING – The fan must be isolated from the power supply during installation and
maintenance. The fan is supplied pre-wired to a standard three pin plug and must be earthed
in accordance with the local regulations.
2.1 Upon receipt, the fan equipment should be visually inspected to check for any damage
.
2.2 Check the details on the motor rating plate to ensure that the correct power supply (voltage,
frequency and phase) is available.
An incorrect power supply will lead to permanent damage to the fan motor.
2.3 Pedestal fan - Undo the 4 bolts from the cast iron base frame. Position the outer leg onto the base
frame, fit and tighten the bolts. Fit the decorative cover ring over the base mounting flange. Fit the
inner leg fully into the outer leg and lock the legs in position using the locking knob.
2.4 Wall fan – Securely fix the wall plate to a structurally sound wall using suitable fasteners. Ensure
that the wall and wall plate are able to support the cantilevered fan weight. Fit the wall bracket into
the wall plate and lock in position.
2.5 Loosen the set screw in the motor mounting flange. Engage the motor support flange in the
mounting flange and tighten the set screw.
2.6 Take apart the guard front cover from the rear cover, and securely fasten the guard rear cover to
the motor using the four screws provided.
2.7 Fit the impeller to the motor shaft ensuring that the locking screw is securely fastened.
2.8 Fit the guard front cover to the rear cover using the clips and screw.
2.9 Check that all fasteners are tight and that the impeller rotates freely.
2.10 Secure the cable, ensuring that a generous loop of cable is allowed between the cable anchorage
point and the motor. This is to prevent excessive flexure of the cable caused by repetitive oscillation
of the fan.
3.0 START-UP
WARNING – The fan must be isolated from the power supply before adjusting any operating
conditions apart from altering the fan speed.
WARNING – The angle of tilt of the fan motor axis must not exceed 30 Degrees from the
horizontal to avoid straining the oscillation mechanism.
3.1 Before power is supplied to the unit, ensure that the impeller is free to rotate.
3.3
Check that the motor amperage draw does not exceed the nameplate rating.
3.4
Speed - The fan has three speed settings, 1 – 3, with 0 being the off position.
3.5 Oscillation
-
There are two adjustment settings to the oscillation plate. If the adjustment screw is set
to the middle of the oscillating plate, the fan will not oscillate. If the adjustment screw is not
positioned in the middle of the oscillation plate, the fan will oscillate through 90 degrees.
3.6
Airflow Direction - To change direction of airflow, hold the fan stationary and loosen the locking
knob. Rotate the motor to a suitable position and then re-tighten the locking knob. It is not
necessary to move the base frame.
3.7
Angle of Tilt - Hold the fan stationary and loosen the head holding screw. Adjust the angle of tilt and
re-tighten the screw.
3.8
Height - Hold the fan stationary and loosen the locking knob. Adjust the height and then re-tighten
the locking knob.
4.0 FAN MAINTENANCE
4.1
Inspection of the fan at least once every 12 months is recommended to ensure that the motor, fan
blades, and supporting guards, are clean. Any build up of dust and deposits on the blades or
guards should be removed using a non-abrasive cleaner.
4.2 All fastenings should be checked for tightness. In addition, all rotating items should be checked.
4.3 Bearings are lubricated for life and will not need a detailed inspection.
