3000270 05.12 2.2 Planning Ahead ! 1. Observe proper combustion air requirements. 2. Provide a firm support system for the chimney fan. 3. Determine the type of system involved. 4. Observe proper safety measures are taken to assure safe use of the wood burning appliances Combustion Air Requirements: Provisions for combustion air must be in accordance with applicable local codes.
3000270 05.12 3. Mechanical Installation 3.1 Transport Safety Device If a transport safety device is present, remove it from the vane and make sure that the vane can revolve without hindrance. RS 14/16: Before mounting, the transport safety device on the hinges must be removed. 3.2 Single Fan on Steel Chimney Step 1: Prepare fan location If a stack cap is already installed, it must be removed.
3000270 05.12 3.3 Single Fan on Brick Chimney Step 1: Prepare fan location The installation procedure is the same whether the flue is round or square. If a clay tile flue liner is installed, it might stick up a few inches. Cut it back so it is flush with or no more than 1/2 inch above the chimney crown. Measure the inside diameter of the flue, cut a corresponding hole in the fiber mat leaving a minimum distance of 3/4” to any side of the fiber mat.
3000270 05.12 3.4 Multiple Fans on Steel Chimney If two or more chimney fans are required to create sufficient draft, installation procedures are the same as for single fan installation on a steel chimney. The only difference is that the fans are sitting next to each other on the top of the chimney. A special adapter plate is required.
3000270 05.12 3.7 Wall Mounting of Chimney Fan When mounting the chimney fan on a wall, the installation instructions for installation on a steel chimney should be followed. Use of the adapter SCA can make the installation easier, but is not a requirement. To ease installation, detach the fan base by removing the bolts holding the hinges together. Center the fan base over the outlet and bolt the base onto the wall with the hinges pointing upwards.
3000270 05.12 4. Electrical Installation 4.1 General Danger: Turn off electrical power before servicing. Contact with live electric components can cause shock or death. All electrical wiring must be in accordance with requirements of authority having jurisdiction or, in absence of such requirements, with National Electrical Code NFPA 70 — latest edition.

3000270 05.12 5. Start-Up and Configuration 5.1 System testing Before any adjustments are made to the system, follow these procedures: 1. Turn the chimney fan ON and make sure that it is operating. Increase and decrease the speed of the fan by adjusting the fan speed control to make sure it is operating properly. 2. Turn the fan OFF and make sure the pressure switch opens, so the power to the circuit, it controls, is disconnected.
3000270 05.12 6. Maintenance & Troubleshooting 6.1 Prior to Cleaning Remove butterfly nut or screw from each hinge prior to cleaning. Remove Butterfly Nut or Screw from each Hinge 6.2 Care and cleaning The Chimney Fan System is designed for prolonged use. The fan should be inspected at least once a year when the chimney is inspected. Fuel residues and other deposits should be removed from the fan blades and the bottom of the motor housing.
3000270 05.12 6.4 Troubleshooting Observation Problem Solution There is no power going to the fan - The circuit breaker may be off - Fan speed control is off - Bad electrical connections - Check the circuit breaker - Bad electrical connections - The fan speed control’s low voltage setting is too low - The fan speed control is bad - Check and correct problems with connections. Pay special attention to the wiring in the junction box - The motor run capacitor may be bad.
