Product Receiving
Upon receiving the product check to ensure all items are accounted for by referencing the delivery receipt or packing list. Inspect each crate or carton for shipping damage before accepting delivery. Alert the carrier of any damage detected. The customer will make a notation of damage (or shortage of items) on the delivery receipt and all copies of the bill of lading which is countersigned by the delivering carrier. If damaged, immediately contact your local representative. Any physical damage to the unit after acceptance is not the responsibility of the manufacturer.
Product Unpacking
Verify that all required parts and the correct quantity of each item have been received. If any items are missing, report shortages to your local representative to arrange for obtaining missing parts. Due to availability of transportation and truck space all items for the unit may not be shipped together. Confirmation of shipment(s) must be limited to only items on the bill of lading.
Handling
Lifting the fans must be done with care to avoid damaging the housing. Fans
are to be rigged and moved by the isolator holes on top of the unit or by
the skid when a forklift is used. Location of the isolator holes will always
be on the top four corners. Use a minimum of four lifting straps. Handle in
such a manner as to keep from scratching or chipping the coating (if
applicable). Damaged finish may reduce the ability of the fan to resist
corrosion.
Move fan to desired location and determine position of access panels,
discharge and motor. Make sure the inlet and outlet have at least 3 times the
wheel diameter of straight duct before any obstructions like an elbow or
transition. Attach the fan to a suitable framework as specified by others;
hanging or base vibration isolators are recommended. See Dimensional Data
(page 3) for physical dimensions. The motor’s amperage and voltage ratings
must be checked for compatibility to supply power prior to final electrical
connection. Electrical lead-in wires are then connected to the electrical
wires run to the external factory supplied junction box. All wiring must
conform to local and national codes.
Storage
Fans are protected against damage during shipment. If the unit cannot be installed and operated immediately, precautions need to be taken to prevent deterioration of the unit during storage. The user assumes responsibility of the fan and accessories while in storage. The manufacturer will not be responsible for damage during storage. These suggestions are provided solely as a convenience to the user .
Storage Environment
The ideal environment for the storage of fans and accessories is indoors, above grade, in a low humidity atmosphere which is sealed to prevent the entry of blowing dust, rain or snow. Temperatures should be evenly maintained between 30° to 110°F (-1° to 43°C) (wide temperature swings may cause condensation and “sweating” of metal parts). All accessories must be stored indoors in a clean, dry atmosphere. Remove any accumulations of dirt, water, ice or snow and wipe dry before moving to indoor storage. To dry parts and packages, use a portable electric heater to get rid of any moisture buildup. Leave coverings loose to permit air circulation and to allow for periodic inspection. The unit should be stored at least 3-1/2 inches (89 mm) off the floor on wooden blocks covered with moisture proof paper or polyethylene sheathing. Aisles between parts and along all walls should be provided to permit air circulation and space for inspection.
Inspection and Maintenance During Storage
While in storage, inspect fans once per month. Keep a record of inspection and maintenance performed. If moisture or dirt accumulations are found on parts, the source should be located and eliminated. At each inspection, rotate the wheel by hand ten to fifteen revolutions to distribute lubricant in motor. If paint deterioration begins, consideration should be given to touch-up or repainting. Fans with special coatings may require special techniques for touch-up or repair. Machined parts coated with rust preventive should be restored to good condition promptly if signs of rust occur. Immediately remove the original rust preventive coating with petroleum solvent and clean with lint-free cloths. Polish any remaining rust from surface with crocus cloth or fine emery paper and oil. Do not destroy the continuity of the surfaces. Thoroughly wipe clean with Tectyl® 506 (Ashland Inc.) or the equivalent. For hard to reach internal surfaces or for occasional use, consider using Tectyl® 511M Rust Preventive, WD-40® or the equivalent.
Removing From Storage
As fans are removed from storage to be installed in their final location, they should be protected and maintained in a similar fashion until the fan equipment goes into operation.

Operation
IMPORTANT
The fan has been checked for mechanical noises at the factory prior to
shipment. If mechanical noise should develop, suggested corrective actions are
offered in the Troubleshooting section (page 12).
-
After the fan is installed, disconnect and lock-out all power switches to fan.
-
Before connecting the fan to power, turn the fan wheel by hand to be sure it is not striking the inlet cone (venture) or any obstacle.
-
Start the fan and shut it off immediately to check rotation of the wheel, see Figure 2.
Wheel Rotation
Direction of wheel rotation is critical. Reversed rotation will result in poor air performance, motor overloading and possible burnout. Rotation should be counterclockwise when viewed from the fan inlet as shown in Figure -
If wheel rotation is incorrect, switch two of the wiring leads for 3 phase power supply or check motor wiring for single phase power supply. Fan rpm should be checked and verified with a tachometer.
-
When the fan is started, observe the operation and check for any unusual noises.
-
With the system in full operation and all ductwork attached, measure current input to the motor and compare with the nameplate rating to determine if the motor is operating under safe load conditions.
-
Keep inlets and approaches to fan clean and free from obstruction.
Inspection
Inspection of the fan should be conducted at the first 30 minute and 24
hour intervals of satisfactory operation. 30 Minute Interval – Inspect bolts,
setscrews and motor mounting bolts. Adjust and tighten as necessary. 24 Hour
Interval – Check all internal components.
Maintenance
DANGER
Always disconnect, lock and tag power source before servicing. Failure to
disconnect power source can result in fire, shock or serious injury.
WARNING
This unit should be made non-functional when cleaning the wheel or housing
(fuses removed, disconnect locked off).
Installation and maintenance are to be performed only by qualified personnel who are familiar with local codes and regulations and who are experienced with this type of equipment. Motor maintenance is generally limited to cleaning and lubrication (where applicable). Cleaning should be limited to exterior surfaces only. Removing dust buildup on motor housing ensures proper motor cooling. Greasing of motors is only intended when fittings are provided. Many fractional horsepower motors are permanently lubricated and should not be lubricated after installation. Motors supplied with grease fittings should be greased in accordance with manufacturers’ recommendations. As a general rule where motor temperatures do not exceed 104ºF (40ºC), the grease should be replaced after 2,000 hours of running time. Wheels require very little attention when moving clean air. Occasionally, oil and dust may accumulate causing imbalance. When this occurs the wheel and housing should be cleaned to ensure smooth and safe operation.
IMPORTANT
Uneven cleaning of the wheel will produce an out of balance condition that
will cause vibration in the fan.
All fasteners should be checked for tightness each time maintenance checks are performed prior to restarting unit. A proper maintenance program will help these units deliver years of dependable service.
Tapered Bushing Hub Installation and Removal
For wheel hubs utilizing a tapered bushing interface, follow this procedure for installation and removal.
Bushing Removal
- If present, loosen the setscrew holding the bushing and shaft key in place.
- Loosen and remove the socket head cap screws which fasten the bushing to the hub as shown in Figure 3.
- Take the socket head cap screws that were removed and install them into the visibly threaded holes on the wheel hub.
- Once socket head cap screws are installed, tighten them an eighth of a turn at a time, alternating until the bushing comes loose.
Bushing Installation
-
Clean all surfaces of hub and bushing to remove any oil or residue present and do not use any lubricant to install bushing into the hub.
-
Slide the bushing and shaft key onto the fan shaft followed by the wheel and hub assembly. If present, use the keyway setscrew to hold the shaft key and bushing in place but DO NOT overtighten as this can damage the bushing. Align the unthreaded holes
of the hub with the threaded holes of the tapered bushing. -
The socket head cap screws are adjustable from the inlet of the fan. Install the bushing socket head cap screws into the aligned holes by hand (or without excessive torque).
-
Adjust the axial location of the wheel in the fan relative to the inlet cone (venturi) as shown in Figure 1, page 9. Then tighten the socket head cap screws an eighth turn at a time in an alternating fashion and to a torque of 10 ft∙lbs for QT bushings and 9 ft∙lbs for SD bushings.
NOTE
QT or SD is labeled on the outer edge of the bushing. QT bushings have two cap screws and SD bushings have three cap screws.
