COOK Lo-Pro - Manual

Low Profile Centrifugal Exhaust Fans
INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Storage
If the fan is stored for any length of time prior to installa-
tion, store it in its original shipping crate and protect it from
dust, debris and the weather.
Installation
To prevent damage to the fan during shipping, motors 5
HP and larger, and extremely heavy motors (cast iron or
severe duty) are shipped loose and must be field mounted
by bolting the motor on the motor mounting plate in the
existing mounting slots.
Damper Installation
If your fan is supplied with dampers, follow the directions
below. If your fan does not include dampers, proceed to
Belt and Pulley Installation.
a. Place the damper inside the curb. Ensure the damper
will open freely for the correct direction of the airflow.
b. Secure to curb at the damper shelf.
c. Drill a hole in the curb shelf for conduit needed for
motor wiring.
d. Operate the dampers manually to ensure the baldes
move freely.
e. Install ventilator over curb.
The attachment of roof mounted fans to the roof curb
as well as the attachment of roof curbs to the building
structure must exceed the structural requirements
based on the environmental loading derived from the
applicable building code for the site. The local code
official may require variations from the recognized
code based on local data. The licensed engineer of
record will be responsible for prescribing the correct
attachment based on construction materials, code
requirements and environmental effects specific to
the installation.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in
death or serious injury.
