1 - SAFETY
Only properly trained service personnel may perform
installation and service procedures. (In other words:
electricians, service personnel employed by or active in
an organization, business, or service).
Motor overload protection must be provided with
each single phase fan. A circuit breaker or slow-blow
motor type fuse must be used. A safety cut-off switch
must be located adjacent to each fan.
This fan is designed solely for the purpose of
ventilating agricultural buildings. Use of the system in
any other way is a misuse of the system and may
endanger the safety and health of you and others. This
fan is not designed for use in atmospheres where there
is a risk of explosion. Such environments may include
enclosed areas of high dusts concentrations, gas
vapors, and fumes.
All wiring is to be installed according to the National
Standards and Regulations relevant to your Country
and Region. Follow all local electrical and safety codes,
as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
Install and Operate Fan Properly
Lock out power source before making
adjustments, cleaning, or maintaining
equipment. Be aware that the fan may
operate under automatic control and may start
without warning. Do not operate fan unless the motor
is properly grounded. Do not operate the fan by
bypassing any safety device on the unit. Do not kink
power cables and do not allow cables to come into
contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces or chemicals.
Keep Hands Away from Moving Parts
Do not operate the fan with electrical or
mechanical guards removed. Serious injury
or death can result.
Sharp Edge Hazard
This product has sharp edges. Always use
proper protective clothing.
Explosion Hazard
The fan is not designed for use in
atmospheres where the risk of explosion
is present. Do not use the fan in enclosed
areas of high dust concentrations,
flammable gas, vapors or fumes.
Lifting Hazard
Single person lift can cause injury. Use a
mechanical lifting device to lift or move
the equipment during installation.
2 - INSTALLATION
1. Fans should be installed in an exterior wall located where there will be no obstructions to the flow of air into
or out of the fan.
2. Framing must be able to support the weight of the fan assembly. The load bearing portion of the bottom sill
should be rigid and properly supported.
3. Construct the framed opening to the correct size according to the chart. The frame should be constructed of
4" x 4" treated posts or double 2" x 4" treated studs.
4. If fans have plastic cones, a shelter is required as shown in Figure 1.
WARNING: You must provide shelter over cones in areas where snow or ice could cause damage to
the fan. The Warranty DOES NOT cover damage from external sources.
