Motor Installation
All DQC units are shipped with motors mounted at
the factory.
Fan Installation
1. DQC Series fans are compact, versatile and may
be mounted in any position. The recommended
mounting location of the fan is a minimum of 15
linear feet from the dryer exhaust port in order to
avoid moist or wet lint to gather in the fan. If a
lint trap is being used between the fan and the
dryer, the fan can be mounted closer than the
recommended 15 feet. The DQC fan warranty is
increased from three(3) to five(5) years if FanAm’s
2100 Series lint trap is used in conjuction with the
fan.
2. Because this unit has rotating parts, safety
precautions
should be excercised during
installation, operation and maintenance procedures.
3. WARNING! Unless specifically built for hazardous
environments, do not use the fans where the elec-
trical system could ignite combustible or flammable
material.
4. Remove unit from package and inspect within 15
days after receipt. If damaged, report damage to
carrier. Do NOT operate this unit with visible damage
to the blower or impeller assembly. Turn centrifugal
impeller by hand to assure free rotation.
5. CAUTION: Before proceeding with installation, make
sure there is no electrical connection. All wiring should
be in accordance with local ordinances and the
National Electric Code.
WARNING: Check voltage to the fan to assure it
corresponds with the motor name plate.
6. CAUTION: Always vent this unit to the outside,
NOT into spaces within ceilings or walls, attics, crawl
spaces, garages, etc.
7. Keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc., off
and out of the impeller assembly to avoid motor bear-
ing damage, noise, or unbalanced impellers.
