Greenheck CUBE-098 Installation guide

Upon receiving unit, check for any damage
and report it immediately to the shipper. Also
check to see that all accessory items are
accounted for.
Move fan to desired location and fasten
securely through mounting holes in base.
Shims may be necessary depending upon
roofing material thickness. The diagram
below shows dimensions for Model CUBE.
Access to the motor compartment is
accomplished by removing the screws
designated “R” in Fig. 1. The cover can then
be removed and placed on a flat surface in
an area protected from strong winds.
The motor’s amperage and voltage rating
must be checked for compatibility to the
supply voltage prior to final electrical
connection. For NFPA - restaurant CUBE
applications, the electrical supply must enter
the motor compartment through the breather
tube. For other non-flammable applications
the electrical supply can be routed through
the conduit chase between the curb cap and
the bottom of the motor compartment.
Consult local code authorities for your
specific requirements.
A drain trough is provided on all CUBE fans
for single-point drainage of water and
residue. Some means for collection of this
residue must be provided, either a container
directly under the trough or use of an
adapter and pipe to carry the residue to a
remote collection point. An optional grease
trap with water separator baffles is available
from your Greenheck representative.

Dimension “A” is the inside dimension of the curb cap. The roof curb should be 11/2in. less than
the curb cap to allow for roofing and flashing.
All dimensions are in inches. *May vary depending on motor size.

Direction of wheel rotation is critical. Reversed rotation will result in poor air performance, motor overloading and possible
burnout. Check wheel rotation (viewing from the shaft side) by momentarily energizing the unit. Rotation should be clockwise
as shown in Fig. 3 and correspond to the rotation decal on the unit.
If adjustments are made, it is very important to check the pulleys for proper alignment. Misaligned pulleys lead to excessive
belt wear, vibration, noise and power loss. (See Fig. 4 )
For all CUBE units belt tension can be adjusted by loosening four fasteners (marked “R”) on the drive frame. The motor plate
slides on the slotted adjusting arms and drive frame angles in the same manner (see Fig. 5). Belt tension should be adjusted
to allow 1/64 inch of deflection per inch of belt span. For example, a 15 inch belt span should have 15/64 inch (or about 1/4
inch) of deflection with moderate thumb pressure at mid-point between pulleys. (See Fig. 6). Overtightening will cause
excessive bearing wear and noise. Too little tension will cause slippage at startup and uneven wear.
The adjustable motor pulley is factory set for the RPM specified. Speed can be increased by closing or decreased by opening
the adjustable motor sheave. Two groove variable pitch pulleys must be adjusted an equal number of turns open or closed.
Any increase in speed represents a substantial increase in the horsepower required by a unit. Motor amperage should always
be checked to avoid serious damage to the motor when speed is varied.

Pre-Starting Checks
Check all fasteners for tightness. The wheel should rotate freely and be aligned as shown in Fig. 2. Wheel position is preset
and the unit is test run at the factory. Movement may occur during shipment, and realignment may be necessary. Centering
can be accomplished by loosening the bolts holding the drive frame to the shock mounts and repositioning the drive frame.
Wheel and inlet cone overlap can be adjusted by loosening the set screws in the wheel and moving the wheel to the desired
position.

MAINTENANCE
Belts tend to stretch after a period of time. They should be checked periodically for wear and tightness. When replacing
belts, use the same type as supplied with the unit. Matched belts should always be used on units with multigroove pulleys.
For belt replacement, loosen the tensioning device far enough to allow removal of the belt by hand. Do not force belts on or
off. This may cause cords to break, leading to premature belt failure. Once installed, adjust belts as shown in “Pre-Starting
Checks.”
Shaft bearings can be classified in two groups: relubricating and non-relubricating. All bearings on standard Model CUBE
fans are factory lubricated and require no further lubrication under normal use (between -20°F and 180°F in a relatively clean
environment). Units installed in hot, humid or dirty locations should be equipped with special bearings. These bearings will
require frequent lubrication. Caution should be employed to prevent overpacking or contamination. Grease fittings should be
wiped clean. The unit should be in operation while lubricating. Extreme care should be used around moving parts. Grease
should be pumped in very slowly until a slight bead forms around the seal. A high grade lithium base grease is
recommended.
Motor maintenance is generally limited to cleaning and lubrication (where applicable). Cleaning should be limited to exterior
surfaces only. Removing dust buildup on motor housing ensures proper motor cooling. Greasing of motors is only intended
when fittings are provided. Many fractional motors are permanently lubricated and should not be lubricated further. Motors
supplied with grease fittings should be greased in accordance with manufacturers’ recommendations. Where motor
temperatures do not exceed 104°F (40°C), the grease should be replaced after 2000 hours of running time as a general rule.
Wheels require very little attention when moving clean air. Occasionally, oil and dust may accumulate causing imbalance.
When this occurs, the wheel and housing should be cleaned to ensure smooth and safe operation.
The unit should be made non functional when cleaning the wheel or housing (fuses removed, disconnect locked off, etc.).
All fasteners should be checked for tightness each time maintenance checks are performed prior to restarting unit.
A proper maintenance program will help these units deliver years of dependable service.
CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION
System resistance too high Check system: Proper operation of
backdraft or control dampers,
obstruction in ductwork, etc.
Unit running backwards Correct as shown in Fig. 3.
Excessive dirt buildup on wheels Clean wheel.
Improper wheel alignment Center wheel on inlets.
Bad bearings Replace.
Belts too tight or too loose Refer to Fig. 6 and adjust tension.
