Operation Guidelines
Fan Vibration Levels
Each unit as shipped is trim balanced to operate smoothly. To
provide satisfactory operation after shipping and installation,
use the accepted industry guidelines for field balancing fans.
See Table 10.
Note: Excessive vibration from any cause contributes to premature fan and
motor bearing failure. Monitor overall vibration levels every six months
of operation. An increase in levels is an indication of potential trouble.
