Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual

Please read and save these instructions for future reference. Read carefully before attempting to assemble, install, 
operate or maintain the product described. Protect yourself and others by observing all safety information. Failure 
to comply with these instructions will result in voiding of the product warranty and may result in personal injury 
and/or property damage.

Only qualified personnel should install this fan. 
Personnel should have a clear understanding of these 
instructions and should be aware of general safety 
precautions. Improper installation can result in electric 
shock, possible injury due to coming in contact with 
moving parts, as well as other potential hazards.  
Other considerations may be required if high winds 
or seismic activity are present. If more information is 
needed, contact a licensed professional engineer before 
moving forward.
  1.  Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as 

well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the 
National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), where 
applicable. Follow the Canadian Electric Code 
(CEC) in Canada.

  2.  The rotation of the propeller is critical. It must be  

free to rotate without striking or rubbing any 
stationary objects.

  3.  Motor must be securely and adequately grounded.
  4.  Do not spin fan propeller faster than max cataloged 

fan RPM. Adjustments to fan speed significantly 
affects motor load. If the fan RPM is changed, the 
motor current should be checked to make sure it is 
not exceeding the motor nameplate amps.

  5.  Do not allow the power cable to kink or come in 

contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces or chemicals. 
Replace cord immediately if damaged.

  6.  Verify that the power source is compatible with 

the equipment.

  7.  Never open access doors to a duct while the fan 

is running.

DANGER

Always disconnect, lock and tag power source before 
installing or servicing. Failure to disconnect power 
source can result in fire, shock or serious injury.

CAUTION

When servicing the fan, motor may be hot enough 
to cause pain or injury. Allow motor to cool 
before servicing.

CAUTION

Precaution should be taken in explosive atmospheres.

General Safety Information

Axial Propeller Wall Fans

Axial propeller wall fans are ideal for factory and warehouse applications where 
high volumes of air and low pressures are required. From general ventilation to 
industrial duty, the range of construction and performance capabilities offered 
represent the most comprehensive sidewall propeller fan line in the industry.
Wall mounted fans include both direct-driven fans with various for exhaust, 
supply, and filtered supply applications.
