General Safety Information
Only qualified personnel should install this fan.
Personnel should have a clear understanding of these
instructions and should be aware of general safety
precautions. Improper installation can result in electric
shock, possible injury due to coming in contact with
moving parts, as well as other potential hazards.
Other considerations may be required if seismic
activity is present. If more information is needed,
contact a licensed professional engineer before
moving forward.
1. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as
well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the
National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), where
applicable. Follow the Canadian Electric Code
(CEC) in Canada.
2. The rotation of the wheel is critical. It must be free
to rotate without striking or rubbing any stationary
objects.
3. Motor must be securely and adequately grounded.
4. Do not spin fan wheel faster than max cataloged
fan RPM. Adjustments to fan speed significantly
effects motor load. If the fan RPM is changed, the
motor current should be checked to make sure it is
not exceeding the motor nameplate amps.
5. Do not allow the power cable to kink or come in
contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces or chemicals.
Replace cord immediately if damaged.
6. Verify that the power source is compatible with the
equipment.

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
representative. Any physical damage to the unit after
acceptance is not the responsibility of 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
Fans are to be rigged and moved by the lifting
brackets provided or by the skid when a forklift is
used. Location of brackets varies by model and size.
Handle in such a manner as to keep from scratching
or chipping the coating. Damaged finish may reduce
the ability of the fan to resist corrosion. Fans should
never be lifted by the shaft, fan housing, motor, belt
guard, windband or accessories.
Storage
• Rotate fan wheel monthly and purge bearings once
every three months.
• Energize fan motor once every three months.
• Store belts flat to keep them from warping and
stretching.
• Store unit in a location which does not have
vibration.
• After storage period, purge grease before putting
fan into service.
If storage of fan is in a humid, dusty or corrosive
atmosphere, rotate the fan and purge the bearings
once a month. Improper storage which results in
damage to the fan will void the warranty.
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 fan 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
fans 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° to 110°F
(-1° to 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 remove any moisture build
up. Leave coverings loose to permit air circulation and
to allow for periodic inspection.
The unit should be stored at least 3½ inches (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.
OUTDOOR - Fans designed for outdoor applications
may be stored outdoors, if absolutely necessary.
Roads or aisles for portable cranes and hauling
equipment are needed.
The fan should be placed on a level surface to prevent
water from leaking into the fan. The fan should be
elevated on an adequate number of wooden blocks
so it is above water and snow levels and has enough
blocking to prevent it from settling into soft ground.
DANGER
Always disconnect, lock and tag power source
before installing or servicing. Failure to disconnect
power source can result in fire, shock or serious
injury.
CAUTION
When servicing the fan, motor may be hot enough
to cause pain or injury. Allow motor to cool before
servicing.
CAUTION
Precaution should be taken in explosive
atmospheres.
DANGER
Pour écarter les risques d’incendie, de choc
électrique ou de blessure grave, veiller à toujours
débrancher, verrouiller et étiqueter la source de
courant avant l’installation ou l’entretien.
ATTENTION
Lors de toute intervention sur la soufflante, le moteur
peut être suffisamment chaud pour provoquer
une douleur voire une blessure. Laisser le moteur
refroidir avant toute maintenance.
ATTENTION
Faire preuve de précaution dans les atmosphères
explosives.

Utility Fans 3
Locate parts far enough apart to permit air circulation,
sunlight and space for periodic inspection. To
minimize water accumulation, place all fan parts on
blocking supports so rain water will run off.
Do not cover parts with plastic film or tarps as these
cause condensation of moisture from the air passing
through heating and cooling cycles.
Fan wheels should be blocked to prevent spinning
caused by strong winds.
Inspection and Maintenance During
Storage
While in storage, inspect fans once per month. Keep a
record of inspection and maintenance performed.
If moisture or dirt accumulations are found on parts,
the source should be located and eliminated. At
each inspection, rotate the wheel by hand ten to
fifteen revolutions to distribute lubricant in motor and
bearings. If paint deterioration begins, consideration
should be given to touch-up or repainting. Fans with
special coatings may require special techniques for
touch-up or repair.
Machined parts coated with rust preventive should be
restored to good condition promptly if signs of rust
occur. Immediately remove the original rust preventive
coating with petroleum solvent and clean with lint-
free cloths. Polish any remaining rust from surface
with crocus cloth or fine emery paper and oil. Do not
destroy the continuity of the surfaces. Thoroughly
wipe clean with Tectyl®506 (Ashland Inc.) or the
equivalent. For hard to reach internal surfaces or for
occasional use, consider using Tectyl®511M Rust
Preventive, WD-40®or the equivalent.
Removing from Storage
As fans are removed from storage to be installed
in their final location, they should be protected and
maintained in a similar fashion until the fan equipment
goes into operation.
Prior to assembly and installation of the unit and
system components, inspect the fan assembly to
make sure it is in working order.
1. Check all fasteners, set screws on the fan, wheel,
bearings, drive, motor base and accessories for
tightness.
2. Rotate the fan wheel by hand and assure no parts
are rubbing. Access to the wheel is obtained
through a bolted panel located on the side of the
fan housing.
3. Ensure proper wheel settings for radial gap and
alignment. Refer to Radial Gap, Overlap and Wheel
Alignment section on page 10.

Guards – Motor Cover, Weatherhood,
Shaft, Belt, Inlet or Outlet Guard
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.
Access Doors
Before opening access doors, ensure the fan wheel
has stopped moving and that the wheel has been
secured from being able to rotate. Do not operate fan
without access door in its fully closed position.
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.
Fans – Rigging and Lifting
IMPORTANT
Fans should never be lifted by the shaft, motor,
motor cover or accessories.
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 metal 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 manufacturer’s
representative with future needs or questions, please
have the information on this label available. Tags are
mounted in an area which is clearly visible, usually on
the side of the fan cabinet.
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
All fan motors should have disconnects located in
close visual proximity to turn off electrical service.
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. Fully secure fan wheel
before performing any maintenance. 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.
• Adjustments to fan speed significantly effects
motor load. If the fan RPM is changed, the motor
current should be checked to make sure it is not
exceeding the motor nameplate amps.
General Information
1. Before lifting, be sure that all shipping materials
have been removed from the unit.
2. Use standard lifting and rigging practices.
3. ALL lifting brackets on each unit must be utilized at
the same time.
4. Fan to be kept level during lifting and installation.
5. Spreader bars must span the unit to prevent
damage to the unit by the lifting cables.
6. Always test-lift the unit to check for proper balance
and rigging before hoisting to desired location.
7. Never lift unit in windy conditions.
8. Preparation of roof opening should be completed
prior to lifting unit to the roof.
Fans are to be rigged and moved by the lifting
brackets provided or by the skid when a forklift is
used. Location of brackets varies by model and size.
Handle in such a manner as to keep from scratching
or chipping the coating. Damaged finish may reduce
ability of fan to resist corrosion.
See coating repair section of this manual for details
regarding touch-up of damaged surfaces.
NOTE
Models XUEF(D)-100-BI and XUEF-100-FC will
include an integrated electrical disconnect.

Utility Fans 5
NOTE
• Certain images are shown with higher lifting points
on the unit. These are tie-off points to balance the
load while lifting.
• Motor covers on certain size units and arrange-
ments need to be removed prior to rigging and
lifting as shown in diagram.
IMPORTANT
Spreader bars are recommended to prevent
damage to the unit. Failure to use spreader bars
may result in damage which becomes the installer’s
responsibility.

Move the fan to the desired location. Check and
tighten fasteners throughout the unit and then fasten
securely through mounting holes provided in the base
angles. The unit must be set level (shimming may be
necessary). Flexible duct connections and vibration
isolators should be used where noise is a factor.
The motor voltage and ampere rating must be
checked for compatibility with the electrical supply
prior to final electrical connection. Supply wiring to the
fan must be properly fused, and conform to local and
national electrical codes.
The discharge is factory set as specified by customer
order, however, certain sizes can be rotated to
other discharge positions in the field if necessary.
If rotating the fan housing, accommodations may
need to be made for the fan to drain properly. The
XUEF(D)-100, XUEF-200, and XUEF-300, all sizes,
have field rotatable housings. For the XUEF-400,
rotatable housings are standard on sizes 30 and less,
arrangement10, and Class 0, I and II. Removal of the
housing bolts allows the discharge to be rotated to the
clockwise positions shown above. For downblast(DB)
discharge position, a portion of the frame angle must
be removed.
Fan rotation is always specified from the drive side of
the housing.
Installations with inlet or discharge configurations
that deviate from this manual may result in reduced
fan performance. Restricted or unstable flow at the
fan inlet can cause pre-rotation of incoming air or
uneven loading of the fan wheel yielding large system
losses and increased sound levels. Free discharge
or turbulent flow in the discharge ductwork will also
result in system effect losses. Refer to the following
diagrams for the most efficient installation conditions.

Inlet Spin - Inlet spin is a frequent cause of reduced
fan performance. The change in fan performance is a
function of the intensity of spin and not easily defined.
The best solution is proper duct design and airflow
patterns. Turning vanes reduce the effects of inlet
spin.
Ducted Inlet Installations
Inlet Duct Turns - Installation of a duct turn or elbow
too close to the fan inlet reduces fan performance
because air is loaded
unevenly into the fan
wheel. To achieve full
fan performance, there
should be at least three
fan wheel diameters
between the turn or
elbow and the fan inlet. POOR
Ducted Outlet Installations
Discharge Duct Turns - Duct turns located near the
fan discharge should always be in the direction of the
fan rotation.
Fan performance is reduced when duct turns
are made immediately off the fan
discharge. To achieve cataloged fan
performance there should be at least
three equivalent
duct diameters of
straight ductwork
between the fan
discharge and
any duct turns.
Non-Ducted Installations
Inlet Clearance - Installation of a fan with an open
inlet too close to a wall or bulkhead will cause
reduced fan performance. It is desirable to have
a minimum of three-fourths of a wheel diameter
between the fan inlet and the wall.
Free Discharge - Free or abrupt discharge into a
plenum results in a reduction in fan performance. The
effect of discharge static regain is not realized.

Bases (Foundation and Isolation)
Critical to every fan installation is a strong, level
foundation. A reinforced poured concrete pad with
a steel base or inertia base provides an excellent
foundation. Bases must be sturdy enough, with
welded construction, to prevent flexing and vibration.
To eliminate vibration and noise from being
transferred to the building, vibration isolators should
be used. The fan is mounted directly on the isolation
base and must be supported for the entire length of
the fan base angle. Isolators are installed between the
isolation base and the foundation.
After the fan, isolation base,
and isolators are installed,
the entire assembly must be
leveled. Position the level
on the isolation base, not
the fan shaft, for proper
leveling. Additionally,
the motor and fan
shafts must be
level and parallel
relative to each
other for proper
alignment. Typical Fan on Isolation Base

Fan Drainage Piping and Trap Detail
(by others)
Fans may have been supplied with an optional drain.
Drains are located at the underside of the scroll
housing. The drain may need to be connected to a
drainage system to ensure proper disposal of any
water or condensate that may occur.
• Drain connections with a plug are 1.0 inch
(25.4mm) MNPT.
• Installed piping to have a downward angle to allow
for drainage.
• Fill traps to recommended level before start-up.
Note: A conservative method of trap design is to set
N = total static pressure.
Check local codes for proper disposal of drain water
which has been in contact with the exhaust air.
Fans used for grease exhaust need to be equipped
with a separate grease collector.

Electrical Connections
Before electrical connections are made, the supply
voltage, phase and ampere capacity must be checked
for compatibility with the fan motor. In addition, the
supply wiring must be properly fused and conform
to local and national electrical codes. If the unit is
supplied with a safety disconnect switch, ensure
proper wiring to the fan motor. Be sure the disconnect
is switched to the “OFF” position before connecting
supply wires. If no disconnect is supplied, ensure the
supply wire is not live before connection. Supply wires
are then connected to the optional safety disconnect
switch (if supplied) or motor.
IMPORTANT
When installing a fan, ensure the proper protective
devices are used to protect personnel from
moving parts and other hazards. A complete line
of protective accessories are available from the
manufacturer including: inlet guards, outlet guards,
belt guards, shaft guards, protective cages and
electrical disconnects.
Electrical Disconnects
All fan motors should have disconnects located in
close visual proximity to turn off electrical service.
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. Fully secure fan
wheel before performing any maintenance. 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 guards (belt, shaft,
inlet and outlet) and check the access doors to
ensure that they are installed and secure.

Utility Fans 9
The adjustable motor pulley is set at the factory for
the fan RPM specified by the customer. Fan RPM can
be increased by closing or decreased by opening the
adjustable motor pulley. Multigroove variable pitch
pulleys must be adjusted an equal number of turns
open or closed. Any increase in fan speed represents
a substantial increase in load on the motor.
To avoid motor overheating and possible burnout,
motor load amperes should always be checked and
compared to nameplate rating when fan speed is
increased.
Alignment of Pulleys and Belts
Check pulleys and belts for proper alignment to avoid
unnecessary belt wear, noise, vibration and power
loss. Motor and drive shafts must be parallel and
pulleys in line as shown in Figure 1.

1. Remove the protective coating from the end of the
fan shaft using mineral spirits or another similar
solvent. Check to ensure that the shaft is free of
nicks and burrs.
2. Slide sheaves on shafts. Do not drive sheaves on
as this may result in bearing damage.
3. Align fan and motor sheaves with a
straight edge or string and tighten.
4. Place belts over sheaves. Do
not pry or force belts, as this
could result in damage to
the cords in the belts.
5. Adjust the tension until
the belts appear snug.
Run the unit for a few
minutes and allow the
belts to “set” properly.
6. With the fan off and disconnect locked out, adjust
the belt tension by moving the motor pivot plate.
When in operation, the tight side of the belts
should be in a straight line from sheave to sheave
with a slight bow on the slack side.

NOTE
While the manufacturer provides heavy-duty, quality
products for marine environments, routine paint
touch-ups may be required in coastal regions where
salt or marine air could damage the coating. The
severe environment will accelerate the damage from
any scratches or chips and it is recommended that
those be repaired immediately.

Utility Fans10
Wheels must rotate freely and not rub on the inlet
cone. ModelXUEF(D)-BI (backward-inclined) wheels
overlap the inlet cone. There is a gap between
the inlet cone and wheel on model XUEF(D)-FC
(forward-inclined). Refer to the tables for the proper
dimension.
Radial Gap and Alignment
Efficient fan performance can be maintained by
having the correct radial gap, overlap and wheel
alignment. These items should be checked after the
fan has been in operation for 24 hours and before
start-up when the unit has been disassembled.
Radial Gap: Adjust inlet cone position such that the
radial gap between the wheel cone and inlet cone is
evenly distributed around the wheel.
Radial gap is adjusted by loosening the inlet cone/
ring bolts and centering the cone/ring on the wheel.
If additional adjustment is required to maintain a
constant radial gap, loosening the bearing bolts and
centering the wheel is acceptable as a secondary
option.
Overlap: Overlap is adjusted by loosening the wheel
hub from the shaft and moving the wheel to the
desired position along the shaft.
The transition between the inlet cone and wheel
should be as shown; there is a smooth feel to the
profile when moving from one component to the
other.
Method for Centering Wheel: On belt drive units,
centering can be accomplished by (a) loosening
the inlet cone bolts to move the inlet cone or by (b)
loosening the bearings in order to move the shaft.
Wheel and inlet cone overlap can be adjusted by
loosening the wheel hub set screws and moving the
wheel to the desired position. Tighten all fasteners
and set screws securely and realign drive pulleys
after adjustment.
Wheel Rotation
Rotation direction of the wheel is critical. Incorrect
rotation will result in reduced air performance,
increased motor loading and possible motor burnout.
Check wheel rotation by momentarily energizing the
unit and noting if rotation is in the same direction as
the airflow at the outlet and conforms to the rotation
decal affixed to the unit.

Unit Start-Up
Visual Inspection of Equipment
The equipment type and arrangement should be
verified as ordered at once when it arrives at the
jobsite. When a discrepancy is found, the local
representative must be notified immediately so
that corrective action may be investigated. Verify
electrical conformance to specifications. Unauthorized
alterations and unauthorized backcharges will not be
recognized by manufacturer.
After the unit has been assembled, installed and all
utilities have been hooked up, the unit is now ready
for operation.
Check
Before starting the unit, check the following:
1. Confirm that building supply voltage matches the
voltage for which the unit is wired.
2. Check all piping and wiring penetrations made by
contractors for water tightness. All penetrations
must be made watertight to prevent water
damage to the unit and building.
3. Rotate the fan wheel manually to be sure that it
is free to operate. Remove any dirt or debris that
may have accumulated during installation.
4. Check the fan bearing setscrews for tightness.
5. Check alignment of sheaves and V-belts. See
Belt Drive Maintenance section.
6. Inspect all fasteners to ensure that none have
loosened during shipment.
7. Check flex coupling for proper alignment and
connect between motor shaft and fan shaft
(direct drive).
8. Check all guarding to ensure that it is securely
attached and not interfering with rotating parts.
9. Check all electrical connections for proper
attachment.
10. Check housing and ductwork, if accessible,
for obstructions and foreign material that may
damage the fan wheel.
11. Fill drainage piping trap.
WARNING
Disconnect and secure to the OFF position all
electrical power to the fan prior to inspection
or servicing. Failure to comply with this safety
precaution could result in serious injury or death.
DANGER
Pour écarter les risques de blessure grave ou
de mort, débrancher et verrouiller l’alimentation
électrique en position « Arrêt » avant tout contrôle
ou entretien.
Additional Steps for Initial Start-Up
1. Check for proper wheel
rotation by momentarily
energizing the fan.
Access to view the wheel
can be gained through
the blower housing
access panel.
One of the most frequently encountered problems
are motors that are wired to rotate the wheel in
the wrong direction. This is especially true with
3-phase installations where the motor will run in
either direction, depending on how it has been
wired. To reverse rotation of a 3-phase motor,
interchange any two of the three electrical leads.
Single phase motors can be reversed by changing
internal connections as described on the motor
label or wiring diagram.
2. Fans with multi-speed motors should be checked
on low speed during initial start-up.
3. Check for unusual noise, vibration or overheating
of bearings. Refer to the “Troubleshooting” section
of this manual if a problem develops.
4. Grease may be forced out of the bearing seals
during initial start-up. This is a normal self-purging
feature for the type of bearing used on this
product.
Model XUEFD-100-BI - Three-phase
This unit ships with the variable frequency drive (VFD)
preprogrammed based on selected performance. No
additional programming is required.
1. To operate, turn disconnect on and allow VFD to
power up.
2. Once VFD display is shown, press LO/RE button
which will switch control from remote to local.
3. If necessary, use vertical arrows to scroll through
display screens to find frequency reference F.
4. Frequency should be programmed from factory.
To balance system (by adjusting frequency), press
Enter and use vertical arrows and Reset / > button
until desired frequency is achieved. Press Enter to
set frequency.
5. Press Run to start fan.
6. If additional adjustment is required, press Stop and
repeat steps 3-4.
NOTE
Model XUEF units should be operated only when
attached to the system for which they were
designed. Without proper system static pressure,
the motor could be overloaded.

Utility Fans12
Vibration
On start-up and during operation, the unit should
operate smoothly with minimal vibration. It is possible
that a higher degree of vibration may be experienced.
Excessive vibration if left unchecked, can cause a
multitude of problems, including structural and/or
component failure. The most common sources of
vibration are listed.
Many of these
conditions can
be discovered by
careful observation.
Refer to the
troubleshooting
section of this
manual for
corrective actions.
If observation
cannot locate
the source of vibration, a qualified technician using
vibration analysis equipment should be consulted. If
the problem is wheel unbalance, in-place balancing
can be done through the access panel located on
the side of each fan’s tubular housing. Any correction
weights added to the wheel should be welded to
either the wheel back (single-plane balance) or to the
wheel back and wheel cone (two-plane balance).
Common Sources of Vibration
1. Wheel unbalance
2. Drive pulley misalignment
3. Incorrect belt tension
4. Bearing misalignment
5. Mechanical looseness
6. Faulty belts
7. Drive component unbalance
8. Poor inlet/outlet conditions
9. Foundation stiffness
Once the unit has been put into operation, a
routine maintenance schedule should be set up to
accomplish the following:
1. Lubrication of bearings and motor.
2. Wheel, housing, bolts and set screws on the entire
fan should be checked for tightness.
3. Any dirt accumulation on the wheel or in the
housing should be removed to prevent unbalance
and possible damage.
4. Inspect fan impeller and housing looking for fatigue,
corrosion, or wear.
Fan Operation
All fans should be run every thirty (30) days, or at least
“bumped” every thirty days. It is preferred that each
fan is run as this causes all electrical and mechanical
components to get up to temperature, displacing any
formed condensation, redistributes load on bearings,
and redistributes grease in the bearings (motor and
shaft bearings).
IMPORTANT
When operating conditions of the fan are to be
changed (speed, pressure, temperature, etc.),
consult manufacturer to determine if the unit can
operate safely at the new condition.
Motors
Motor maintenance is generally limited to cleaning
and lubrication. Cleaning should be limited to exterior
surfaces only. Removing dust and grease buildup
on the motor housing assists proper motor cooling.
Never wash down motor with high pressure spray.
Greasing of motors is only intended when fittings are
provided. Many fractional motors are permanently
lubricated for life and require no further lubrication.
Motors supplied with grease fittings should be
greased in accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommendations. When motor temperature does not
exceed 104ºF (40ºC), the grease should be replaced
after 2000 hours of running time.
Direct drive systems have extended grease lines to
lubricate the motor without removal of any guarding.
Routine Maintenance and
Operation
WARNING
Before taking any corrective action, make certain
unit is not capable of operation during repairs.
AVERTISSEMENT
Avant d’entreprendre toute action corrective,
s’assurer que l’appareil ne pourra pas fonctionner
durant les réparations.

Utility Fans 13
Belt Drive Maintenance
V-belt drives must be checked on a regular basis
for wear, tension, alignment and dirt accumulation.
Premature or frequent belt failures can be caused by
improper belt tension (either too loose or too tight)
or misaligned sheaves. Abnormally high belt tension
or drive misalignment will cause excessive bearing
loads and may result in failure of the fan and/or motor
bearings. Conversely, loose belts will cause squealing
on start-up, excessive belt flutter, slippage and
overheated sheaves. Either excessively loose or tight
belts may cause fan vibration.
When replacing V-belts on multiple groove drives,
all belts should be changed to provide uniform
drive loading. Use a set of matched belts whenever
possible. Do not pry belts on or off the sheave.
Loosen belt tension until belts can be removed by
simply lifting the belts off the sheaves. After replacing
belts, ensure that slack in each belt is on the same
side of the drive. Belt dressing should never be used.
Do not install new belts on worn sheaves. If the
sheaves have grooves worn in them, they must be
replaced before new belts are installed.
The proper tension for operating a V-belt drive is
the lowest tension at which the belts will not slip at
peak load conditions. Belts are adjusted by raising or
lowering the motor
pivot plate. For
initial tensioning,
the proper
belt deflection
halfway between
sheave centers is
1/64-inch for each
inch of belt span.
Check belt tension two times during the
first 24hours of operation and periodically
thereafter.
Belt Span
Deflection = Belt Span
64
Wheel and Fastener Maintenance
Wheels require very little attention when exhausting
clean air, however, air heavily laden with grease or
dirt will tend to accumulate on the wheel causing
unbalance. Wheels exhausting dirty or grease-laden
air require frequent cleaning to assure smooth and
safe operation.
All fasteners, including set screws in the bearing
collars, should be checked for tightness each time
maintenance checks are performed.
A proper maintenance program will help preserve the
performance and reliability designed into the fan.
XUEF-100 Belt Adjustment
Belts on the XUEF-100 are adjusted from the exterior
of the fan. The end cover must be removed so that
the belt(s) can be inspected and checked for proper
tension.
1. Loosen, but DO NOT remove the four corner bolts
on the adjustment plate.
2. Loosen, then adjust L-bolts on adjustment plate to
tighten or loosen belt(s) as needed.
3. Tighten L-adjustment bolts and the four corner
bolts to lock motor in place after proper tension is
reached.
NOTE
Loosen the corner bolts as minimal as possible
to allow the plate to move, but so the plate has
minimal movement when bolts are re-tightened.

Utility Fans14
For operation with a variable frequency drive (VFD),
always check motor amps when adjusting the
operating frequency. Motor may be sized for the
original selected operating speed under 60 Hz.
Bypassing the VFD or increasing the speed from this
original selection, even if less than 60 Hz, may cause
motor to overload or fail. Consult factory with fan
serial number before increasing the upper limiting
frequency.
Always check the fan rpm when adjusting the
operating frequency. Do not exceed maximum class
fan rpm of the wheel.

Bearing Lubrication Schedule
Shaft bearings are the most critical moving part of a
fan. Therefore, special attention should be given to
keeping the bearings clean and well lubricated. Proper
lubrication provides for reduction in friction and
wear, transmission and dissipation of heat, extended
bearing life, and prevention of rust.
In order for a lubricant to fulfill these tasks, the proper
grease applied at regular intervals is required. See the
recommended bearing lubrication schedule below.
If unusual conditions exist (temperatures below 32°F
or above 200°F), moisture or contaminants - more
frequent lubrication is required.
• Lubrication interval is based on 12 hour per day operation
and maximum 160°F housing temperature. For 24 hour
per day operation, the interval should be cut in half.
• Lubricant should be added with the shaft rotating and
until clean grease is seen purging from the bearing.
The lubrication interval may be modified based on the
condition of the purged grease. If bearing is not visible to
observe purged grease, lubricate with number of shots
indicated in chart for bore size.
• For conditions including high temperatures, moisture, dirt
or excessive vibration, consult the factory for a specific
lubrication interval for your application.
• Lubricant should be a high quality lithium complex grease
conforming to NLGI Grade 2. Factory recommends
Mobilux EP-2.
• The use of synthetic lubricants will increase lubrication
intervals by approximately 3 times.
In addition to lubricating the bearings at specified
intervals, set screws in the bearing collars should be
checked for tightness. A bearing collar which has
loosened will cause premature failure of the fan shaft.
Fasteners attaching the bearings to the drive frame
should also be checked.
Variable Frequency Drive
Operation
NOTE
It is the responsibility of the installing body to
perform coast-down tests and identify any resonant
frequencies after the equipment is fully installed.
These resonant frequencies are to be removed
from the operating range of the fan by using the
“skip frequency” function in the VFD programming.
Failure to remove resonant frequencies from the
operating range will decrease the operating life of
the fan and void the warranty.
Model XUEFD-100-BI – Variable Speed
Drives
The XUEFD-100-BI comes equipped with a factory
integrated speed controller. Single-phase models will
use a electronically commutated (EC) motor with a
potentiometer dial to adjust motor rpm. To change
the speed, simply turn the dial. Three-phase models
will offer a mounted, wired and programmed VFD
and premium induction motor. Changing speeds on
a 3-phase model involves pressing the up and down
arrows located on the VFD interface.
Both single- and 3-phase versions feature a built-
in electrical disconnect and the option for external
control through 0-10 VDC signal.

Utility Fans 15
For Arrangement 10
The intent of this procedure is to allow a field service
technician to replace bearings with the fan remaining
in place in its intended application. All work can
be conducted by accessing the bearings by either
removing a shaft guard, a weatherhood or working
under a weatherhood. This is dependent on the size
of the unit. This procedure assumes the power source
has been locked out prior to removing guards and
covers, belts and pulleys have been loosened and
removed properly, and extended lubrication lines have
been disconnected at the bearing. In some cases,
it may be necessary to remove the fan inlet cone
and wheel if the bearings cannot be removed due to
corrosion or damage. See Radial Gap, Overlap and
Wheel Alignment on page 10 to the realign wheel
upon installation.
Bearing Removal
This procedure assumes proper safety measures have
been taken.
• Read and follow all instructions carefully.
• Disconnect and lockout power before installation
and maintenance.
• Driven sheaves and belts have already been
removed.
• Shaft black coating can be removed with a solvent
similar to a brake/carburetor cleaner.
1. Scribe a line around the shaft by both bearings and
around the bearing base to the bearing support or
write down the measurement from the end of the
shaft to the bearings. This will help in repositioning
the new bearing and wheel cone overlap.
2. Follow the bearing manufacturers’ procedures for
removal and installation.
3. Before removing the bearing bolts, make sure the
shaft is supported slightly. Remember to consider
the wheel weight on the shaft.
4. Remove both bearings from the shaft and clean/
remove any burrs using an emery cloth or file.
5. Clean mounting surface of any dirt or grease.
Bearing Installation
1. Before installing, read bearing manufacturers’
procedures. Before putting the new bearings on
the shaft, you may need to break what is called
swivel torque on the bearings (depending on style
of bearing). This is done by holding the bearing
housing securely and being able to move the
inner bearing race around freely.
2. Apply light film of oil on shaft, then gently slide
the new bearings onto the shaft.
Do not hammer bearing onto shaft!
3. Align bearings on shaft with the previous scribe
marks that are on the shaft and lock bearing to
shaft.
4. Put bolts into mounting surface and bearings. Do
not tighten.
5. Remove blocks if shaft is supported.
6. Set bearings on support with the scribed marks
locating the bearings. Make sure bearings are
square and level with the shaft.
7. Tighten bolts and torque bearing bolts, bearing
set screws/locking collars as per bearing
manufacturers’ procedures.
8. Rotate shaft by hand to help allow the bearings
to help set in. At this time, listen for any unusual
noises such as wheel rubbing on cone and any
bearing noise.
9. Connect extended lube lines in new bearings if
needed.
10. Reinstall the drive sheaves and belts. Check the
belt alignment.
11. Make sure to reinstall all guards and follow proper
safety measures before starting up the fan.
