Lifting
Fans should not be lifted by the motor, motor shaft, motor cover, belt guard, tie down points, belt tube, damper
frame, windband, or fan accessories.
Flanged Housing Only
Use a minimum of four bolt holes, two per flange, or attach two suitable chains / straps around the entire fan
housing, one near each duct flange when lifting large horizontal fans. Secure the fan housing to prevent the weight of
a top or side mounted motor from rotating the housing while being lifted.
For vertical hanging installations, attach a suitable lifting device to the fan housing or inlet/outlet flange.
With Mounting Brackets
Fans are to be rigged by either the optional brackets provided or by the skid when a forklift is used. Slings can be
attached as described above or to mounting brackets located at the ends of the fan housing.
Lifting Point
(4 places)
Roof Upblast
Attach a suitable chain or strap to the four (4) windband gussets located between the butterfly damper section of
the fan and the exterior windband unless welded lifting lugs are provided on fan housing. Carefully lift the fan to the
roof curb and install fasteners in all holes provided in the unit base. The windband need not be removed for the lifting
operation. A spreader bar is recommended to prevent damage to the damper section when lifting.
