OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Start fan and check rotation. Viewed from top (discharge), fan
blades should rotate clockwise.
Check motor power consumption to be sure fan is pulling desired
load
. CAUTION: If positive pitch is set in summer to use all
available motor amps (nameplate rating), motor could be over-
loaded in winter.
Design pitch angles usually do not use all of the
available motor horsepower. This ensures that the motors will not
be overloaded at low winter temperatures.
