INTRODUCTION This Installation Manual is provided as a guide for the installation of fans manufactured by PennBarry.

Vibration isolators, bolts, foundations, etc, are subject to failure from corrosion, erosion, and other causes. Improper mounting can lead to poor operation characteristics, fan fatigue, and failure. Check components for corrosion, cracks, or other signs of stress. www.PennBarry.com...
