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 instructions could result in personal injury and/or property damage!

General Safety Information

Only qualified personnel should install this unit. 
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), the 
National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), where 
applicable. Follow the Canadian Electrical Code 
(CEC) in Canada.

2.  The rotation of the supply fan wheel 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 wheel faster than the maximum 

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 fan access doors while the fan 

is running.

DANGER

Always disconnect power before working 
on or near a unit. Use appropriate lockout 
tagout procedures to prevent accidental 
power up.

CAUTION

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

FOR YOUR SAFETY

If you smell gas:
• Open 

windows.

•  Extinguish any open flame.
•  Do not try to light any appliance.
•  Do not touch electrical switches.
•  Leave the building immediately.
•  Immediately call your gas supplier.
•  If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call 

the fire department.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

The use and storage of gasoline or other 
flammable vapors and liquids in open 
containers in the vicinity of this appliance 
is hazardous.

WARNING

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, 
service or maintenance can cause 
property damage, injury or death. Read the 
installation, operating and maintenance 
instructions thoroughly before installing or 
servicing this equipment.
