USER SERVICING

Please take a few moments each year to perform the following preventive maintenance inspection on your fan to

ensure its safe and ecient operation. If you have any questions, please contact Customer Service.

WARNING: Risk of ﬁre, electric shock, or injury to persons during cleaning and user maintenance!

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before servicing.

WARNING: When service or replacement of a component in the fan requires the removal or disconnection

of a safety device, the safety device is to be reinstalled or remounted as previously installed.

Annual preventive maintenance

The following are to be performed annually (see “Annual Maintenance Checklist”):

• Check the fan bolts and nuts to make sure they are tight and show no wear.

• Verify all bolts on the fan cage, fan base, and mount are tight and secure.

• Check the power cord and plug for damage. Ensure it is tightly attached with no fraying.

• Check safety cable and mounting system.

• Check guy wires (if installed) for fraying or damage.

Additional considerations

• Verify proper fan rotation. The fan should be turning counterclockwise when viewed from the front.

• To clean the fan blades and fan cage, remove the four bolts securing the cage to the housing as shown below.

Wipe the blades, motor, and motor housing with a soft cloth. If desired, use a gentle cleaner or degreasing

agent to polish the blades.

• Check the condition of the rubber bumper feet for abnormal wear

or damage. Replace if necessary. Contact Customer Service.

• Special attention should be paid to wall/column, I-beam, angle

iron, and concrete mounting applications to ensure the mounting

surfaces and all fan components are still in good working order and

do not show signs of damage. Perform this check every six months.

General troubleshooting

If the fan will not start:

• Make sure that all wires are securely connected and the fan is plugged

into a 100–125 VAC grounded outlet rated for 20 A or a 200–240 VAC

grounded outlet rated for 15 A.

• Make sure the speed control knob is in an ON position.

• Verify that supply power is adequate and functional.

• Verify there are no obstructions in the fan assembly or blades.
