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.
2.8 Maintenance
Before servicing the fan or control panel ensure all POWER IS OFF and locked out to avoid injury.
.
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 occasionally check that no nuts or bolts have vibrated loose. No other maintenance is
required.
Mounting Hardware
Check all mounting bolts annually to be sure they have not loosened. Also, check the safety cable and
guy wires to be sure they are not loose or frayed. Loose guy wires are more likely to break than tight ones,
and broken guy wires may fall into the fan. If a guy wire is loose, carefully check to be sure it is not
damaged, and re-tighten it.
