and lock service panel to prevent fan from being switched on
accidentally.
c. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by quali-
fied person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and
standards, including fire-rated construction.
d. The combustion airflow needed for safe operation of fuel
burning equipment may be affected by this unit's operation.
Follow the heating equipment manufacturer's guidelines and
safety standards such as those published by the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA), the American Society of
Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE) and the local code authorities.

Electrical Connection

1. Remove the screws securing the terminal box cover plate located
on the side of the fan. All fan motor connections are pre-wired to
an electrical terminal strip. A ³ ₈" romex type cable restraint con-
nector will be needed to secure the wiring through the knockout
provided on the side of the terminal box.
2. Bring incoming electrical service through the romex connector and
the fan knockout. Be sure to place the connector nut over the
wiring coming into the terminal box. There are two open ports on
the terminal strip. Using a small regular screwdriver, tighten the
neutral (white) wire of the incoming supply under the open termi-
nal strip port labeled "N". Tighten the line (black) wire of the
incoming supply under the open terminal strip port labeled "L".
Since the fan motor is isolated within a plastic housing, grounding
is not necessary.
3. Secure the romex connector. Secure the incoming supply with the
romex connector. Replace the fan terminal box cover. All fan
motor and capacitor connections have been pre-wired from the
factory. No additional fan wiring is necessary.
Troubleshooting
If fan fails to operate, please check the following:
1. Consult wiring diagrams (see below) to assure proper connection.
2. Check motor lead wiring, capacitor leads and incoming supply
leads to assure definite contact.
3. If possible, use a meter to test for continuity across the fan motor
leads. In order to do this, the capacitor must be disconnected (do
not test the capacitor - it will not meter continuity). If motor leads
show continuity, consult factory for a replacement capacitor.

Maintenance Instructions

Since fan bearings are sealed and provided with an internal lubricating
material, no additional lubrication is necessary.
