ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION.
CAUTION - Before carrying out any maintenance or servicing,
ensure the unit is disconnected from the main power supply.
FOR GENERAL VENTILATION USE ONLY.
DO NOT USE TO EXHAUST HAZARDOUS OR EXPLOSIVE VAPORS.
WARNING- TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR
INJURY, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
• Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer.
• Afterburner™fans are designed for use in up to 95% relative humidity.
The fan is not suitable for use in corrosive or explosive environments.
• Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at service panel
and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from
being switched on accidentally.
• When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely
fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
• Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified
person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards,
including fire-rated construction.
• When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical
wiring or other hidden utilities.
• Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
• NEVER place a switch where it can be reached from a tub or shower.
• To reduce risk of electrical shock, do not expose to water or rain.
• Afterburner™fans have an unguarded impeller. Do not use in locations
readily accessible to people or animals.
WARNING- The fan must be isolated from the power supply during
installation and maintenance. The fan must be grounded in accordance
with local regulations.
INSTRUCTIONS
• Upon receipt, the fan equipment should be visually inspected to check
for any damage. Ensure that the impeller is free to rotate.
• If you have any questions about the fan equipment, contact your
retailer prior to installation.
• Use the mounting brackets supplied with the fan to mount the fan in
the desired position. See Figure 1 and Figure 2 on the next page for
different mounting options. The fan can be mounted at any angle.
• The fan should be mounted directly to a stud or other framing
member. If this is not possible, make sure to use lag bolts or other
inserts capable of supporting at least 25 lbs.
• Check the details on the motor 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
fan motor and will void the warranty.
• Means for electrical disconnection must be incorporated in the
wiring installation in accordance with relevant wiring and electrical
regulations.
WARNING- This fan is fitted with a non self-resetting thermal cut-out
that switches the fan off in the event of a fault condition. To reset, turn
the power off for one minute, then back on. Only a suitably qualified
and competent person may carry out maintenance after the electrical
supply has been isolated.
MAINTENANCE
The fan bearings are sealed for life and therefore do not require any
lubrication. We recommend inspection of the product at least once
every twelve (12) months to ensure that the motor, fan blades, and
supporting guards are clean. All fasteners should be checked and tightened
if necessary. In addition, all rotating items should be checked. To inspect
the unit, disconnect from electrical supply and remove from ducting.
If any debris is evident on the impeller, clean with a damp (not wet) cloth.
DO NOT USE any detergents or abrasive materials for cleaning.
