PREPARING THE WORK SITE

When surveying the work site, keep the following guidelines in mind.

Mechanical Installation

• The Yellow Jacket weighs, at maximum, 105 lbs (48 kg). Practice proper lifting techniques when assembling the

fan.

• If you ordered the oscillator, review the installation guide packaged with the oscillator before beginning

installation.

• If mounting the fan to an I-beam, the I-beam must have at least 65” (165 cm) of clearance below.

• The fan installation area must be clear of obstructions such as lights, cables, sprinklers, or other building

structure parts.

• Consult a structural engineer for installation methods not covered in this manual.

• If mounting the fan in the vicinity of an infrared/radiant heater, it is recommended that the fan be mounted

outside of the clearances recommended by the manufacturer of the heater and at a height equal to or above

the shielding on the heating element with the controller on the opposite side of the heater. If mounting the fan

below the heater shielding, all fan elements must be outside of the clearances recommended by the heater

manufacturer and the VFD must be remotely mounted. The installation manual for the speciﬁc model of heater

will typically provide the minimum clearance to combustibles (MCC).

Electrical Installation

• The installation of a Big Ass Fan must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-2011,

and all local codes.

• Refer to speciﬁcations on page 1 for appropriate circuit requirements.

• The fan may begin to operate upon connection to power source. Do not apply AC supply power to fan until it is

fully assembled and in an acceptable upright position.
