Receiving and Inspection
Immediately upon receipt of the fan, carefully inspect the
fan and accessories for damage and shortage.
• Turn the wheel by hand to ensure it turns freely and
does not bind.
• Check dampers (if included) for free operation of all
moving parts.
• Record on the Delivery Receipt any visible sign of
damage.
Rotating Parts & Electrical Shock Hazard:
Disconnect electric power before working on unit.
Follow proper lockout / tagout procedures to ensure
the unit cannot be energized while being installed or
serviced.
A disconnect switch should be placed near the fan in
order that the power can be swiftly cut off, in case of
an emergency and in order that maintenance
personnel are provided complete control of the power
source.
Grounding is required. All field-installed wiring must
be completed by qualified personnel. All field-
installed wiring must comply with National Electric
Code (NFPA 70) and all applicable local codes.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in
death or serious injury.

INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Handling
Lift the fan by the shipping carton. NOTICE! Never lift by
the shaft, motor or housing.
Storage
If the fan is stored for any length of time prior to
installation, completely fill the bearings with grease or
moisture-inhibiting oil (refer to Lubricants on page 6).
Rotate the wheel several revolutions every three to five
days to keep a coating of grease on all internal bearing
parts.
Store the fan in its original crate and protect it from dust,
debris and the weather.
To maintain good working condition of the fan when it is
stored outdoors, follow the additional instructions below.
• Coat the shaft with grease or a rust preventative
compound.
• Wrap bearings for weather protection. Cover the inlet
and outlet to prevent the accumulation of dirt and
moisture in the housing.
• Periodically rotate the wheel and operate dampers (if
supplied). Periodically inspect the unit to prevent
damaging conditions.
Installation
If the fan was delivered with the motor unmounted, see
the maintenance section for belt and pulley installation.
