Installation & Operation Manual
GENERAL INSTALLATION
MAINTENANCE
All units are shipped fully assembled. If the
unit is a fully or semi-recessed model type
then a wall seal trim will be included and
must be installed as per the provided
instructions.
Motors. Motors are a permanent split
capacitor type fitted with self lubricating
sleeve bearings. In order to extend motor life
the bearing should be "recharged" with an
annual lubrication. Use an SAE 10 non
detergent oil applied only in the oiling holes
provided.
Remove front panel, line up roughed in
piping and position the unit in the desired
wall or ceiling location.
Coils. Coils are to be kept clean in order
for proper heat transfer to exist. The
conditions of each operating environment
will change the frequency of cleaning. The
coils can be vacuumed or alternately use the
following methods. Brush the fins on the air
intake side and then place a bag or damp
cloth over the unit discharge. Activate the
unit and the dirt will be trapped in the bag or
cloth. The coil can also be cleaned with high
pressure air which should be blown on the
outlet side of the coil (blowing air on the inlet
will force dirt deeper into the coil).
Attach unit to wall or ceiling using the
provided holes in the back panel of the unit.
Piping should always be installed and
connected using good practice and in
accordance with applicable codes.
Wiring should be completed in accordance
with applicable codes. All models are
furnished with a fan control box in the
desired location on the unit. If the speed or
temperature control are to be remote
mounted the junction box must be supplied
by an other.
Blowers. Blowers can be cleaned using
high pressure air.
Once the unit is completely installed a test
run should be performed. If operational
difficulties are experienced, recheck all
wiring connections and power source.
Filters.
Filters should be kept clean to
ensure the proper circulation of air volume
through the unit. The frequency of the
cleaning varies and is dependant upon the
operating environment. As a guide they
should be washed in mild detergent or blown
clean with compressed air every 3 months.

UNIVERSAL FORCE FLOW COLLARS
SIDES AND TOP
A standard trim which is used on any semi-
recessed or fully recessed model. Mounted
on sight to allow for infinite mounting depth
adjustment. Simply mark the depth location of
the desired reveal minus 1/2" for the trim
thickness and fasten the side bars centered
with the front edge on the line. (Figure 4
shows sides being mounted to a fully
recessed model wall mount)
ALIGNED AND
READY TO BE
FITTED
The top and bottom bars have pocketed ends
to provide quick and easy alignment. The
protruding ends of the side bar (Figure 2 & 3)
fit snugly in the pockets and provides the
proper alignment for the top/bottom bar to be
fastened to the cabinet. For floor mount units
the bottom bar is not used and the sides are
fastened even with the bottom of the unit and
do not protrude. The collars have been
designed for this so no cutting is required on
the side bars. The top is mounted normally
and the extra protrusion of the side bar does
not affect the mounting.
