General Safety Information

GreenJet – Mixed Flow Jet Fan2

Receiving

Upon receiving the product, check to ensure all items

are accounted for by referencing the delivery receipt or

packing list. Inspect each crate or carton for shipping

damage before accepting delivery. Alert the carrier

of any damage detected. The customer will make

a notation of damage (or shortage of items) on the

delivery receipt and all copies of the bill of lading which

is countersigned by the delivering carrier. If damaged,

immediately contact your local sales representative. Any

physical damage to the unit after acceptance is not the

responsibility of the manufacturer.

Unpacking

Verify that all required parts and the correct quantity

of each item have been received. If any items are

missing; report shortages to your local representative to

arrange for obtaining missing parts. Sometimes it is not

possible that all items for the unit be shipped together

due to availability of transportation and truck space.

Conﬁrmation of shipment(s) must be limited to only

items on the bill of lading.

Handling

Handle in such a manner as to keep from scratching

or chipping the coating. Damaged ﬁnish to parts may

reduce ability of unit to resist corrosion.

Fans are to be lifted using a minimum of four (4) points

on the fan housing or attach two suitable chains / straps

around the entire fan housing.

Storage

Fans are protected against damage during shipment. If

the unit cannot be installed and operated immediately,

precautions need to be taken to prevent deterioration of

the unit during storage. The user assumes responsibility

of the unit and accessories while in storage. The

manufacturer will not be responsible for damage during

storage. These suggestions are provided solely as a

convenience to the user.

INDOOR - The ideal environment for the storage of

units and accessories is indoors, above grade, in a

low humidity atmosphere which is sealed to prevent

the entry of blowing dust, rain, or snow. Temperatures

should be evenly maintained between 30°F (-1°C) and

110°F (43°C) (wide temperature swings may cause

condensation and “sweating” of metal parts).

All accessories must be stored indoors in a clean, dry

atmosphere.

Remove any accumulations of dirt, water, ice, or snow

and wipe dry before moving to indoor storage. To avoid

“sweating” of metal parts, allow cold parts to reach

room temperature. To dry parts and packages use a

portable electric heater to eliminate any moisture build

up. Leave coverings loose to permit air circulation and

to allow for periodic inspection.

The unit should be stored at least 3-1/2 in. (89 mm) off

the ﬂoor on wooden blocks covered with moisture proof

paper or polyethylene sheathing. Aisles between parts

and along all walls should be provided to permit air

circulation and space for inspection.

Removing From Storage

As units are removed from storage to be installed

in their ﬁnal location, they should be protected and

maintained in a similar fashion, until the equipment goes

into operation. Prior to installing the fan and system

components, inspect the unit assembly to make sure it

is in working order. Check all fasteners and accessories

for tightness.

To ensure a successful installation, the instructions in

this manual should be read and adhered to. Failure to

comply with proper installation procedures may void the

warranty.

Unit and System Identiﬁcation Tags

Each fan has a permanently afﬁxed manufacturer’s

engraved aluminum nameplate containing the model

number and individual serial number.

The tag shown is

an example of an

identiﬁcation nameplate

on the fan. The

information provides

general details about the

fan, as well as containing

speciﬁc information unique to the unit. When contacting

your local sales representative with future needs or

questions, please have the information on this label

available. Tags are mounted in an area which is clearly

visible.

Pre-Installation Information

Before installation, it is important to be certain the

mounting surface will bear the operating weight of the

unit. For proper unit operation, it is also important that it

be operated in a completely level position.

For further details on safety practices involving

industrial and commercial fans, please refer to AMCA

Publication410.

Electrical Disconnects

Fan is provided with an integrated service disconnect.

Service disconnects shall be locked-out when

maintenance is being performed.

Moving Parts

All moving parts must have guards to protect personnel.

Refer to local codes for requirements as to the

number, type and design. The fan wheel may start

“free wheeling” even if all electrical power has been

disconnected. Before the initial start-up or any restart,

check the following items to make sure that they are

installed and secure.

• Do not spin fan wheel faster than the maximum

cataloged fan rpm.

Guards

Do not operate fans without proper protective devices in

place. Failure to do so may result in serious bodily injury

and property damage. Check local codes to ensure

compliance for all protective devices.

Air Pressure and Suction

In addition to the usual hazards associated with rotating

machinery, fans also create a dangerous suction at the

inlet. Special caution needs to be used when moving

around a fan, whether it is in operation or not. Before

start-up, make sure the inlet area is clear of personnel

and loose objects.

General Information

Clearances

For best airﬂow and throw distance, proper inlet and discharge clearances should be maintained.

Blocking the fan’s inlet or discharge; mounting the fan close to an obstruction or wall will inhibit proper airﬂow into

the fan, thereby reducing its effectiveness or causing performance issues.

NOTE

All field installation and wiring of electrical equipment

must be done to meet NEC, CEC and local codes.

Must use appropriately sized wire for the full load amp

draw.

The GJI fan requires single phase 115, 208-

277V 50/60Hz power. Amperage ranges

depending on voltage.

Particular attention should be given when

connecting power to the unit. Supply wiring

must be properly fused and conform to local

and national electrical codes.

Two electrical knockouts are located on the

side of the terminal box (Figure 4). Utilize one

knockout for motor power supply and the second for control wiring. Each set of wiring connections are to be run

separately into the unit.

To access the wiring terminal strip, remove the electrical access panel. Motor supply power and control wires are

connected to a terminal strip as shown in the wiring diagrams on the next page (Figures 7 and 8).

After the electrical connections have been made secure, reattach the access panel back into position.
