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 high winds or seismic activity are 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), 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.
DANGER
Always disconnect power before working on or near
a fan. Lock and tag the disconnect switch or breaker
to prevent accidental power up.
CAUTION
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.
When servicing the fan, motor may be hot enough
to cause pain or injury. Allow motor to cool before
servicing.
CAUTION
7. Never open access doors to a duct while the fan is
running.
Precaution should be taken in explosive
atmospheres.

CAUTION
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
Greenheck including belt guards, shaft guards, 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 belt and shaft
guards and the access doors to ensure that they
are installed and secure.

Ducted Outlet Installations
Discharge Duct Turns - Duct turns located near the
fan discharge should always be in the direction of the
fan rotation.
Installation
Installations with inlet or discharge configurations
that deviate from this standard 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.
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

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
one fan wheel diameter between parallel fan units
and a minimum of three-fourths of a wheel diameter
between the fan inlet and the wall.

Bases (Foundation and Isolation)
Drain Connection
In order to assure continued alignment, a high
strength, non-shrink epoxy grout is recommended
to provide the desired mechanical properties for
support of the fan. This type of support ensures the
appropriate transmission of static and dynamic loads
to the equipment foundation.
Make sure to either connect the drain or keep it
plugged. Never leave the drain open to drain freely.
The drain line must be installed using either a U-trap
arrangement or an equivalent method (drain leg is
submerged in liquid). To obtain a proper seal, the leg
length must be greater than the system pressure drop.
To eliminate vibration and noise from being transferred
to the building, vibration isolators should be used.
The fan is mounted directly on the base and must be
supported for the entire length of the fan base angle.
Isolators are installed between the base and the
foundation.
Ductwork / Stacks
All ductwork and/or stacks must be self-supporting
and independent of the fan. The fan inlet and outlet
are not designed to support the connecting duct or
stack. The use of flexible connectors is recommended
to limit the transmission of stress to the fan. Excessive
pressure applied when bolting a flange connection
may cause damage to the fan housing or flange.
After the fan and isolators are installed, the entire
assembly must be leveled. Position the level on
the 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.
Rotatable Housings
It may be necessary to rotate the scroll of the fan
to achieve a different discharge position than what
was originally supplied. Fiberglass fan model BCSW-
FRP (sizes 6-25; arr. 4 and 10, Class I, II, III, and
IV) has the flexibility to be rotated in the field. This
is accomplished by removing the housing bolts,
rotating the housing to a new discharge position and
reinstalling the bolts.
Belt Guards
If the belt guard is not factory mounted, then it must
be field mounted. Brackets and mounting hardware
are the responsibility of the installer. Mounting
bracket locations vary with motor mounting position,
arrangement, and fan type. The bearing supports and
fan structure are used in most instances and when
the motor is not mounted to the fan itself, a bracket
should also be located near it. This information is
intended as only a guide and actual field conditions
may dictate another mounting location for the guard
brackets. Refer to local codes for securing guarding.

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.
Radial Gap is adjusted by loosening the housing bolts
and centering the inlet cone 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.

Vibration
Unit Start-Up
Excessive vibration is the most frequent problem
experienced during initial start-up.
1. Disconnect and lock-out all power switches to fan.
See warning below.
2. Check all fasteners, set screws and locking collars on
the fan, bearings, drive, motor base and accessories
for tightness.
Common Sources of Vibration
1. Wheel Unbalance
2. Drive Pulley Misalignment
3. Incorrect Belt Tension
4. Bearing / Coupling Misalignment
5. Mechanical Looseness
6. Faulty Belts
7. Drive Component Unbalance
8. Poor Inlet/Outlet Conditions
9. Foundation Stiffness
3. Rotate the fan wheel by hand and assure no parts
are rubbing.
4. Check for bearing alignment and lubrication.
5. Check for coupling alignment (Arr. 8 only).
6. Check the V-belt drive for proper alignment and tension.
7. Check all the guarding (if supplied) for being securely
attached and not interfering with rotating parts.
Left unchecked, excessive vibration can cause a
multitude of problems, including structural and/or
component failure.
8. Check all electrical connections for proper
attachment.
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,
the wheel should be sent back to the factory to be
properly rebalanced.
9. Check housing and ductwork, if accessible, for
obstructions and foreign material that may damage
the fan wheel.
10. Check that the drain is connected, or plugged, and
the housing is being properly drained.
WARNING
Greenheck performs a vibration test on all centrifugal
fans before shipping. Three vibration readings are
taken on each bearing in the horizontal, vertical, and
axial directions. The allowable maximum vibration
for belt drive units is 0.078 in/sec. peak (0.05 in/
sec. direct drive) velocity filter-in at the fan RPM per
AMCA Standard 204. These vibration signatures are a
permanent record of how the fan left the factory and
are available upon request.
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.
Additional Steps for Initial Start-Up
1. Check for proper wheel
rotation by momentarily
energizing the fan. Rotation
is always determined by
viewing the wheel from
the drive side and should
correspond to the rotation
decal affixed to the unit.
Generally, fan vibration and noise is transmitted
to other parts of the building by the ductwork. To
eliminate this undesirable effect, the use of heavy
canvas connectors is recommended. If fireproof
material is required, FlexweaveTM 1000 - Type FN-30
can be used.
One of the most frequently
encountered problems with
Centrifugal Fans is motors
which are wired to run 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.
2. Check for unusual noise, vibration or overheating of
bearings. Refer to the “Troubleshooting” section of
this manual if a problem develops.
3. Grease may be forced out of the bearing seals
during initial start-up. This is a normal self-purging
feature of this type of bearing.

Shaft Bearings
Routine Maintenance
The bearings for Greenheck fans are carefully
selected to match the maximum load and operating
conditions of the specific class, arrangement, and
fan size. The instructions provided in this manual
and those provided by the bearing manufacturer, will
minimize any bearing problems. Bearings are the
most critical moving part of the fan, therefore special
care is required when mounting them on the unit and
maintaining them.
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 (see below).
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.
Refer to the following chart and the manufacturers
instructions for grease types and intervals for various
operating conditions. Never mix greases made with
different bases. This will cause a breakdown of the
grease and possible failure of the bearing.
4. Springs should be checked for breaks and
fatigue. Rubber isolators should be checked for
deterioration.
5. Inspect fan impeller and housing looking for fatigue,
corrosion, or wear.

Motor maintenance is generally limited to cleaning
and lubrication. Cleaning should be limited to exterior
surfaces only. Removing dust and grease build up 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 ambient temperature does not exceed 104°F
(40°C), the grease should be replaced after 2000 hours
of running time.

*Suggested initial greasing interval is based on 12 hour per
day operation and 160ºF maximum housing temperature.
For continuous (24 hour) operation, decrease greasing
interval by 50%.
CAUTION
When operating conditions of the fan are to be
changed (speed, pressure, temperature, etc.),
consult Greenheck to determine if the unit can
operate safely at the new conditions.
•
If possible, relubricate with grease while in operation
without endangering personnel.
•
For ball bearings (operating) relubricate until clean
grease is seen purging at the seals. Be careful not to
unseat the seal by over lubricating.
•
•
For ball bearings (idle) add 1-2 shots of grease up to
2 in. bore sizes, and 4-5 shots of grease above 2 in. bore
sizes with hand grease gun.
For roller bearings, relubricate with 4 shots of grease up
to 2 in. bore size, 8 shots for 2-5 in. bore size, and 16
shots above 5 in. bore size with hand grease gun.
•
•
•
Adjust lubrication frequency based on condition of
purged grease.
A high quality lithium base grease conforming to NLGI
Grade 2 consistency is recommended.
The use of synthetic lubricants will increase lubrication
intervals by approximately three (3) times.
WARNING
Lubricate bearings prior to periods of extended
shutdowns or storage and rotate shaft monthly to
aid in preventing corrosion. If the fan is stored more
than three months, the bearings should be purged
with new grease prior to start-up.

V-Belt Drives
Unit Identification
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.
This tag is an example of an identification label on the
fan. The information provides general details about the
fan, as well as containing specific information unique to
the unit. When contacting your Greenheck representative
with future needs or questions, please have the
information on this label available.

Tags are mounted on the drive frame in an area which
is clearly visible, usually near the fan outlet on the drive
side of the fan. The exact tag location may differ due fan
model and size.
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. Check belt tension before start up
and after the first 24 hours of operation. The belt
tension should also be checked periodically thereafter.
