5 MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
5.1 INSTALLATION OF THE FAN
The fan is secured to a base by M8 pin bolts and nuts (4 pcs) in
mounting holes across antivibration mountings, included in deliv-
ery (see 3.1 Design, part 5). The base must be level and stable.
The fan must only be mounted to a horizontal plane.
The fan has three possible outlet directions (left/right/up), up-
wards as standard. Outlet direction can be changed by detaching
the standing skids (see 3.1 Design, part 4) and placing them to
desired side of fan casing (fixed with M8 bolts). Lower cleaning
hatch handle must be removed.
5.1.1 DISMANTLING THE FAN
If the final installation site is difficult to access, the fan has a split
casing as standard for easier transport.
If the fan has been in use and will be removed and dismantled,
make sure that the fan is disconnected from mains (supply- and
control cables detached) and ducting before beginning the dis-
mantling work.
1. Install support stands to back plate and standing skids with
M8 bolt and self-drilling screw. Stands are delivered loose with
the fan.
2. Detach the outlet connection by removing self-drilling screws.

3. Detach both cleaning hatches, fastened with M8 bolts. Mark
the overlap between impeller&inlet cone.

impeller and inlet
cone
4. Remove M8 fixing bolts from the front plate end of the standing
skids. Lift the fan up a little. Make sure that the fan can’t fall
down.

5. Remove M8 socket cap fixing bolts from back plate and M8
fixing bolts from both side members.
6. The front section can be lifted off now.
7. Remove impeller locking screw and washer from the motor
shaft end and pull the impeller out, if necessary use the ex-
traction tool.
8. Detach the motor cable from speed controller. Remove M8
bolts from both sides of the motor bracket and lift the motor
(with bracket still intact) away. Speed controller can be re-
moved by detaching the mounting bracket screws (both sides
of the bracket) and lifting it away with bracket still intact.

If needed for easier motor and speed controller removal, the
back plate can be laid face down by detaching the self-drill-
ing screws from the standing skids, loosening standing skid
M8 bolts and turning the standing skids 90° to side. Standing
skids can also be completely removed.
When disassembling the front section, it could be useful to mark
part positions for easier reassembly.
9. Detach the cut-off by removing the M8 socket cap fixing bolts
from front plate and M8 bolts from side member.
Loosen standing skid bolt
11. Detach side members by removing the M8 bolts.
10. To detach the front plate, remove the M8 socket cap fixing
bolts from front plate and M8 bolts from both side members.
5.1.2 REASSEMBLING THE FAN
Note that there is a glass fiber sealing installed between panels,
side members and outlet connection. Remember to inspect the
glass fiber sealing from defects and replace if necessary.
Remember to check that the overlap is the same as measured
before and the inlet cone is precisely aligned with the impeller!
1. Reassemble the front section in reverse order. Insert all bolts,
but don’t tighten them yet.

2. Reattach motor and speed controller with mounting brackets.
Check that the motor height position is the same as it was.
Tighten bolts and screws.
3. Reattach standing skids, if they were removed. Lift the back
plate up, turn the standing skids to original position and reat-
tach the standing support screws.
4. Insert the impeller and tighten the end bolt.
5. Lift the front section back, insert all bolts and check the gap
and the overlap between inlet cone and impeller. Tighten all
bolts while following that the gap and the overlap are staying
stable.
