Basic Mounting Kits (BMK), Hanging Mounting Kits (HMK), Swivel Hanging Mounting Kits (SHMK) or Wall Mounting Kits (WMK) are available for Ruffneck™ heaters. If the strength of the structure is not adequate to support the units, a suitable alternative such as the Ruffneck™ Pipe Mounting Kit (PMK) would be recommended to ensure safe and proper operation.

Electrical Wiring Ruffneck fan-forced unit heaters and heat exchangers may be thermostatically controlled if required. Usually the flow of heat transfer fluid is allowed to pass through the heat exchanger without interruption. The fan motor, in such cases, shuts on and off by an electrical thermostat. Air flow through the heater is thus controlled. A small amount of heat will radiate from the heat exchanger when the fan is inoperative but this is usually tolerable.
Repair and Replacement Procedures WARNING Disconnect heater from power supply before servicing or repairing heater. Lock the switch in the “OFF” (open) position and/or tag the switch to prevent unexpected power application. This heater should only be serviced by personnel with heating equipment experience. Some components of this heater are heavy and assistance will be required to remove them.
FAN MOTOR - REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION 1. Remove bolts holding motor to the motor mount. 2. Remove the two piece fan guard assembly. 3. Lift the motor assembly off the motor mount. 4. Before removing the fan, measure and record the location of the fan hub on the motor shaft. If fan is difficult to remove, use a gear puller on the fan hub.
