ConZumer FAN
Installation and Technical Operations
Follow the Factory Mutual Insurance Company (FM Global) standards, Heating equipment manufacturer’s
guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and
the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and local code
authorities.
WARNING: A structural engineer will need to verify that the structure is suitable prior to the installation of the fan.
The fan should not be installed unless the structure on which the fan will be mounted is securely constructed, without
damages, and can support the load of the fan. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/end user to have the
stability
of the mounting structure verified. Go Fan Yourself
® hereby denies any liability resulting from the lack of verification
or from the use of any materials or hardware than those supplied by Go Fan Yourself
® or otherwise indicated within
these installation instructions.

3. Standard Mounting Applications
Note: The following mounting
applications are representations only and
are subject to change without notice.
Contact your sales
representative or the Go Fan Yourself
®
office for complete mounting instructions.
Insert optional shims to keep Beam
Clamp Plates near level if I-Beam is
thicker than the bend in the Beam
Clamp Plate. Shims insert on top of
the Upper Yoke Assembly and are
secured with the mounting hardware.

Determine mounting position on ceiling and
establish the angle between 45º-60º for the
cable. Determine correct location on the I-
Beam to anchor the eye bolt. If the guy wire
anchor points on the fan are 3' 4" (101.6 cm)
down from the I-Beam or Steel Angles the
cables should anchor at least 3' 4" (101.6 cm)
away from the fan
Fasten all eye bolts with nuts and washers as
per Fig. 14.
Measure the run of cable required and cut a
minimum of 2 FT longer. NOTE: runs longer
than 18 FT will require additional cable. Secure
it with 1 thimble and 2 cable clamps (Fig.16).
Repeat using the other 3 pieces of guy wire
cable, thimbles and cable clamps(Fig.15).
Guy wires should be tight. Allow fan to self-
level and recheck level as you tighten each guy
wire. They should also be approximately 90º
apart (Fig.17).

9. Leveling the Fan
1. After your fan is installed, check the level again by placing your level vertically on the
vertical post of the fan frame. Adjust as required.
2. Once leveled, tighten hardware to a mimimum 40 ft-lbs (54.2 Nm) to secure the Down Tube into
the Upper Yoke. Verify fan level once hardware is tightened.
For proper electrical connection, please consult the Wire Connections (Motor) page later in this document.
ATTENTION! YOU MUST REMOVE THE VENT STOPPER FROM THE GEARBOX!!!!!
Failure to remove the vent stopper will cause gearbox failure!!

Electrical Installation &
Operation Manual
All installation wiring must confirm to your National Electrical Code and local guides.
While we believe that using Go Fan Yourself controls and following our instructions will
result in an installation that meets those requirements, we cannot guarantee it. Code
compliance is ultimately the installer’s and/or user’s responsibility.
Subject to change without notification.
IMPORTANT
Contact GFY for all outdoor applications and any application where the
fan may be hit directly by the wind.
Safety Precautions
•All installations must be installed by a qualified person.
•Do not work on live equipment. Use lock out/tag out
procedures.
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT!!
Upon completion of the installation you MUST complete
the GFY Check In/Close Out Form and take two pictures:
1) The overall fan installation.
2) Close up of the fan mount clearly showing both safety cables routed properly, snug,
and secured with the hardware provided.
