2.0 Installation
WARNING – The fan must be isolated from the power supply during installation and maintenance. The fan must be earthed in
accordance with the local regulations.

2.2 If there are any queries concerning the fan equipment, Elta Fans Ltd should be contacted prior to the installation.
2.3 The fan must be securely mounted and the panels adjusted to suit the desired position to suit the application, straight through or 90°
airflow. The fan can be mounted at any angle.
2.4 Check the details on the motor/fan rating plate to ensure that the correct power supply (voltage, frequency and phase) is available.
An incorrect power supply will lead to permanent damage to the motor.
2.5 Refer to the appropriate wiring diagram. Ensure that all earth connections are made.
2.6 Means for electrical disconnection must be incorporated in the wiring installation in accordance with the relevant wiring and electrical
regulations.

3.0 Storage
3.1 The storage place must be vibration free, clean, dry and not subject to extreme temperature variations.
3.2 When storing for prolonged periods, whereby non rotation of motor occurs, we recommend electrical and bearing inspection, as they
may have incurred damage or require possible re-lubrication.

5.0 Fan Maintenance
5.1 Inspection of the fan at least once every 12 months is recommended to ensure that the motor, fan blades, and supporting guards, are
clean. Any build up of dust and deposits on the blades or guards should be removed using a non-abrasive cleaner.
5.2 ll fastenings should be checked for tightness. In addition, all rotating items should be checked.
5.3 Bearings are of the ‘sealed for life’ type and will not need a detailed inspection.
