2.7 Universal Mounting Hardware
We recommend mounting the fan to a horizontal structural beam, but this is not always possible in
buildings with pitched roof construction. For that reason, our universal mount is designed to swivel freely in order to allow
the fan to hang in a level position regardless of the angle of the beam it is mounted to. Our mounting hardware package
includes clamps for use with standard steel I-beams, shims for thicker steel I-
beams, and all necessary nuts and bolts. For buildings with glulam beams (laminated wood), an additional set of
brackets, available from the factory, is required (see figure 1 below).
Fig 1
Our standard mounting hardware will accommodate steel I-beams up to 5/8" thick by 10 3/4" wide. The glulam bracket
adapters will accommodate glulam beams up to 8" wide. Additional hardware for larger beams is available from the
factory.
2.8 Maintenance
Before servicing the fan or control panel ensure all POWER IS OFF and locked out to avoid injury. See Figure 2
below.

Control Panel
Occasional cleaning is advisable, especially when the panel is located in a dusty or dirty environment. A
can of compressed air, like that used for computer cleaning, works well to clean the inside of the panel. Simply wipe
down the outside of the enclosure with a cloth or duster periodically, if desired.
Power Unit
The gearbox is lubed for life, and we use thread locking compound on critical nuts and bolts. However, it
is a good idea to annually check that no nuts or bolts have vibrated loose. No other maintenance is required.
