PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

My building structure is suitable for fan mounting.
The standard mount included with this fan allows the fan to be hung from angle irons mounted to
bar joists or from an I-beam. Do not mount the fan to a single purlin, truss, or bar joist. Consult a
structural engineer for mounting methods not covered in this manual.
A structural engineer approved the mounting structure.
The mounting structure must be able to withstand the torque forces generated by the fan.
I am familiar with the function of the safety cables.
The fan will be installed so that the airfoils are at least 10 ft (3 m) above the floor.
The fan will be installed so that the airfoils have a minimum of 2 ft (610 mm) of clearance from
obstructions and the building structure.
The distance of the fan from the obstruction should be measured from the edge of the winglets to
the obstruction.
The fan will be installed so that it is not subjected to high winds such as from a Heating,
Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system or near a large garage door.
If the fan is mounted at the same level or higher than a diffuser, the winglets must be at a distance
that is at least 1x the measure of the fan's diameter. If the fan is mounted below a diffuser, the
winglets must be at a distance that is at least 2x the measure of the fan's diameter.
The distance between multiple fans will be at least 2.5x the fans' diameter when measured from
the centers of the fans.
The airfoils and other fan components are those that were shipped with the motor unit.
If installing multiple fans, do not mix and match fan components.
The supply power circuit is the appropriate size and voltage, and power wiring is routed to the
fan's Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) installation site.
See Supply Power Guidelines for supply circuit requirements and power wiring guidelines.
If my fan's extension tube is 4 ft (1.2 m) or longer, if the fan is exposed to high winds or
crosswinds, or if the fan is installed near any building fixtures, I will secure the fan with the
provided guy wires as a safety measure.
The upper mount is the correct size for the mounting structure.
