Warnings
DO NOT CONNECT POWER SUPPLY until fan is completely installed. Make sure
electrical service to the fan is locked in "OFF" position
1. All units are suitable for use with solid-state speed control.
2. This unit has rotating parts and safety precautions should be exercised dur-
ing installation, operation and maintenance.
3. CAUTION: "For General Ventilation Use Only. Do Not Use To Exhaust
Hazardous Or Explosive Materials And Vapors."
4. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons-
observe the following:
a. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you
have questions, contact the factory.
b. Before servicing or cleaning, switch power off at service panel and lock
service panel to prevent fan from being switched on accidentally.
c. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified
person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, includ-
ing fire-rated construction.

Electrical Connection

1. Remove the screws securing the terminal box
cover plate located on the side of the fan. All
fan motor connections are pre-wired to an
electrical terminal strip. A
cable restraint connector will be needed to
secure the wiring through the knockout pro-
vided on the side of the terminal box.
2. Bring incoming electrical service through the
romex connector and the fan knockout. Be
sure to place the connector nut over the wir-
ing coming into the terminal box. There are
two open ports on the terminal strip. Using a
small regular screwdriver, tighten the neutral
(white) wire of the incoming supply under the
open terminal strip port labeled "N". Tighten
the line (black) wire of the incoming supply
under the open terminal strip port labeled "L".
Since the fan motor is isolated within a plastic
housing, grounding is not necessary.
3. Secure the romex connector. Secure the
incoming supply with the romex connector.
Replace the fan terminal box cover. All fan
motor and capacitor connections have been
pre-wired from the factory. No additional fan
wiring is necessary.
Troubleshooting
If fan fails to operate, please check the following:
1. Consult wiring diagrams (see below) to insure proper connection.
2. Check motor lead wiring, capacitor leads and incoming supply leads to insure
definite contact.
3. If possible, use a meter to test for continuity across the fan motor leads. In
order to do this, the capacitor must be disconnected (do not test the
capacitor - it will not meter continuity). If motor leads show continuity, con-
sult factory for a replacement capacitor.

Maintenance Instructions

Since fan bearings are sealed and provided with an internal lubricating material,
no additional lubrication is necessary.
