MAINTENANCE
SERIES CO-X EXHAUST PACKAGE
PREPARATION
1. Check to make sure all components are complete and that there is no
concealed damage. If there is concealed damage, notify carrier
immediately. Car-Mon will not be responsible for equipment not inspected
on receipt from carrier.
2. Review the instructions to make sure any materials needed for installation
not included by Car-Mon are provided by the installer.
3. The main components for the system include a wall or ceiling platform, a
CMW direct drive fan, a single or dual tubing assembly with swivel or
swivel socket, gaskets, and hardware. The optional equipment may
include the BA Balancer, tubing sling, pull-up set, or wall
storage brackets.
INSTALLATION
1. Make sure the mounting surfaces where the CO-X platform
and fan is to be mounted is level and plumb and can support
the weight of the entire unit. Wall mounted platforms are
installed "legs down" using the pre-drilled mounting holes.
Ceiling platforms should be securely attached to the building
structure using the mounting holes. Both units may also be
welded to the attached surface.
2. Position CMW fan on platform using a gasket between the
fan and the platform, lining up the holes and making sure the
fan is in the proper discharge direction. Drop the 5/16 bolts
through the bolt holes.
3. Attach the single or dual tube and swivel assembly to the
bottom of the platform using a gasket between the assembly
and the platform. Using the bolts from the fan above fasten
with the nuts provided. Attach the fan discharge to the
ductwork. For attachment of the optional balancer, see the
instructions at the end of this manual.
4. Wire the fan motor. See the fan wiring diagrams on Page 2.
Make sure the diagram matches the model number on the motor plate. If it
does not, consult the wiring diagram on the motor plate, or call customer
service at the factory. The installation is now complete and the system can
be tested. When testing briefly start and stop the motor to see if the rotation
of the fan is correct. If it is not, recheck the wiring of the fan. After checking
rotation, run system for several minutes to check for any vibration or excess
noise, and to see if there is good air flow through the tube(s).
OPERATION
1. Attach the exhaust adapter the vehicle tailpipe. The vehicle SHOULD NOT
be running while the attachment is made. Make sure the fan on the system
is running and air is going through the tubing before the vehicle is started.
Starting a vehicle with a exhaust adapter attached and the fan not running is
unsafe and may cause damage to the tubing drop. After servicing, shut off the vehicle, leaving the
tubing assembly attached and the fan running. Continue to run the fan for a short time to let the
ambient air running through the tube cool it down before detaching it. Care should always be taken
when removing the tubing assembly as it can remain hot for a period of time if not cooled with
ambient air.

WIRING DIAGRAMS FOR CMW FANS
Make sure the motor on the fan matches one of the model numbers listed in the single or three phase
wiring diagrams. In the event a special type of motor was ordered, please consult the motor plate for
the wiring diagram, or phone customer service at the factory.

SERIES BA BALANCER
INSTALLATION
1. Mount the balancer to the CO-X platform by attaching the
balancer clevis to the bracket on the bottom of the platform
and then attaching the safety chain to the ring provided. Never
use the same attachment points for both the clevis and safety
chain.
2. Attach the Tubing Sling to the tubing. (When Nu-Flex crush
resistant tubing is used, an outer sleeve of NE tubing is used to
sit in the sling.) Raise the sling to the balancer and attach to the
steel cable safety clip. DO NOT pull the cable down from the
balancer to attach to the tube assembly-damage or injury could
result!
3. If the balancer does not hang straight, try mounting the clevis in a
different hole on the bracket of balancer. Make sure to replace the
cotter pin on the clevis pin.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
FOR PROPER HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT, THE TUBING ASSEMBLY
MUST BE ATTACHED. If necessary, a small extension cable may be used between the balancer and
tubing assembly to adjust height of hanging assembly. This will also decrease the amount of tension
on the balancer when it is pulled down, making the tubing easier to handle and increasing spring life.
IF TUBING ASSEMBLY HANGS TOO LOW:
Turn ratchet lock to "off" position and increase tension by turning shaft counterclockwise with a
wrench until tube assembly is raised to desired height. Care must be taken to not overwind the spring
mechanism.
IF TUBING ASSEMBLY HANGS TO HIGH:
Turn ratchet lock to "off" position and decrease tension, by following these steps carefully.
1. Place wrench on flats of shaft to hold the shaft position.
2. While holding the shaft FIRMLY with the wrench, depress the spring coil on opposite side of
balancer. (CAUTION! As tension is reduced, tool will fall away from the balancer.)
3. Allow the shaft to turn SLOWLY in clockwise direction until tubing is lowered to desired working
height. (CAUTION! Do NOT allow the spring to unwind in an uncontrolled manner! This can result
in damage to the balancer and may result in personal injury.
RATCHET LOCK USE
1. Engage the ratchet lock by pulling cable out to desired position and letting it retract until lock
engages. To disengage the lock, pull cable out slightly - it operates like a window shade.
2. For constant tension use, the ratchet lock may be turned off by truning the on/off knob located on
the spring side counterclockwise. If ratchet lock is properly turnd off, the "clicking" of the ratchet
will no longer be present during use. To insure the knob is turned completely off, it may be
necessary to first pull out some cable and then turn the knob as you allow it to rewind (firmly
holding the cable so that it does not rewind in an uncontrolled manner.)
NOTE: If unit is equipped with Series LFT Retractor, refer to separate LFT O&M manual.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The CO-X Exhaust Package is designed for ease of use and low maintenance. The only real
maintenance needed is periodic cleaning and inspection. Keep adapters, tubing and fan surfaces free
of dirt and grime. Check motor plate for any lubrication requirements.

BA BALANCER-CONTINUED
MAINTENANCE
No regular maintenance is required, but in the interest of safety, the cable and hanger bracket should be
checked periodically for wear. If wear is detected, replacement parts should be ordered and replaced
immediately.
LUBRICATION
Balancer is factory lubricated-no additional lubrication is required.
SPRING, CABLE, AND RATCHET ASSEMBLY
Unit should be sent to factory for authorized repair. Call 847-695-9000 and ask for customer service and
you will be given a return goods authorization number. Send unit freight prepaid for repair.
Please note that over tensioning the unit can cause the spring mechanism to break. This condition is not
covered under the manufacturer's warranty.
PULL-UP SETS
Instead of using a retracting balancer to pull tubing out of the way, a more economical method is using a
pull-up set with or without a winch. If this option is used, a separate instruction sheet will be included with
shipment.
