3. Installation Instructions

Vane Axial Fan Pad

Placement of the Fan Pad: Transitions/Fans/Heaters Only

If a fan or fan and heater is to be installed, refer to Figure 3A to determine the concrete pad size.

1. The top of this pad should be level with the top of the bin’s foundation.

2. Recommended pad thickness is 4" minimum.

3. Front of pad should be perpendicular to bin wall.

4. Pad for heater not required, but if it is to added, pour the pad to cover both locations.

For fans and transitions used in aeration duct system applications, refer the transition and aeration installation instructions.

IMPORTANT: Fan pad and fan must be level and smooth for proper operation. Vibration problems can result from improper fan leveling.

Figure 3A

TR-4734A = 20" for fans without heatersA = 44'' for fans with heaters

TR-6918 and TR-6919A = 32" for fans without heatersA = 56" for fans with heaters

TR-7048A = 45" for fans without heatersA = 69" for fans with heaters


4. Fan Installation

Pre-Installation Requirements

Foundation

Use the dimension Figure 5A on Page 15 in the specifications section of this manual to determine the physical size of the fan to be installed. Use the dimensions shown to determine the position of the fan installation with respect to other equipment.

For proper operation of the fan, the unit is to be mounted on a level pad. The fan should not be anchored to the pad, but it should be allowed to “float” on the pad. Refer to Figure 5A on Page 15 for fan pad location in the specifications section of this manual for recommendations of pad placement with respect to various catalog transition ducts.

Transition

The transition duct should be all metal construction, with a gradual angle to the rectangular opening in the bin wall. The duct should allow for a smooth transition with minimal resistance of the airflow from the fan discharge to the bin plenum. Keep the entrance of the plenum as clear as possible from obstructions by floor support.

Roof Exhaust

Adequate exhaust air openings in the roof are required to prevent any additional back pressure from building in the bin. See roof damage warning and disclaimer on Page 7.

Power Supply

Adequate power must be supplied to the fan for reliable operation. Consult the local power company and have a representative survey the installation. Only the power company can ensure that their system is sized properly to provide adequate service to the installation and new equipment.

Wire Size

Undersized wire can lead to voltage drop which causes motor overheating and shortened motor life. Use the electrical specifications chart on Page 16 in this manual to size the supply wire according to the horsepower of the fan and the distance to the power supply. Refer to fan specifications section on Page 15 of this manual to find the full load current of the motor for a given fan size. The full load current can also be found on the motor nameplate.

Service Disconnect

Each fan motor must be supplied with an independent power circuit, equipped with a fused disconnect switch. Locate this switch near the unit, as the power should be shut off before servicing the fan.

It is the customer’s responsibility to provide a fused disconnect and motor overload protection. These must be properly sized and connected to allow proper motor operation. Failure to provide these components could cause severe motor damage and void the manufacturer’s warranty.

4. Fan Installation


Fan Installation

1. Remove packaging materials and inspect fan for any shipping damages. Report these at once to the shipper.

2. Check all fasteners on the fan to make sure they are tight (fasteners may loosen during shipment). Tighten any loose fasteners, check for proper clearance and re-tighten.

3. Check all electrical connections that may have loosened during shipment.

4. Rotate the fan blade. Blade should rotate freely and should not make contact with the housing sides or venturi.

5. Place fan in proper location on the fan pad. Attach fan to transition duct and seal connection with caulk.

6. Check all joints and seams around the lower part of the bin. Verify that these are well sealed to prevent air leakage from the bin plenum. Inspect the transition duct as well. Seal any leaks that may be present to prevent air losses that reduce fan efficiency.

7. Level fan. Fan pad should be poured flat and level, however, it may be necessary to shim the legs provided on the fan housing to level the fan. Fans not resting on support legs may have excess vibration which can lead to premature wear and tear on fan components.

IMPORTANT: Electrical installation must be performed by a qualified electrician, in accordance with National and Local Electrical Codes. Any violation of electrical wiring codes could jeopardize the warranty.

Electrical Installation

1. Verify that the incoming power supply has been deemed adequate by the local power company.

2. Verify that the wiring supplying power to the fan is sized correctly for the distance away from supply and fan horsepower. (See tables in specification section on Page 16 of this manual.)

3. Verify that the safety disconnect is installed and sized correctly for the fan size. (See tables in specification section on Page 16 of this manual.)

4. Install a machine to earth ground for each individual fan. Refer to ground rod installation on Page 14 in this manual.

5. The following wires must be supplied to each fan. Units without control transformers require a separate neutral and earth ground connection.

6. The starter controls require 115 VAC power to operate. On 230 volt 3 phase units, this power is supplied by L1 to neutral.

1 PH 230V L1, L2, N, G

3 PH 230V L1, L2, L3, N, G

3 PH 230V with optional transformer kit L1, L2, L3, G

3 PH 460V/575V L1, L2, L3, G

DANGERAlways disconnect and lock out power before working on or around fan.

4. Fan Installation


Check this voltage before starting unit. If voltage is not within 105 VAC-125 VAC, check for proper voltage on L2 or L3 and move to appropriate leg. If voltage is not acceptable, install a 1/4 KVA step-down transformer. (NOTE: Grounded B and some open delta power supplies will require this transformer kit.)

Final Check

Check to make sure all safety guards are in place and not damaged. Replace damaged parts. Check to make sure all decals are visible and not damaged. Replace damaged decals. Check to make sure all control boxes are closed and no wiring is exposed.

Test Run

When the fan is completely installed, the unit will need to be checked for proper rotation. Provide power to the fan controls and start the fan momentarily. Make sure that the fan blade rotation is in the direction that the decal on the fan housing illustrates. If the blade is rotating the wrong direction, have the electrician correct the wiring.

Figure 4A

CAUTIONThe voltage between L1 and N must be 115 VAC. Any other voltage will cause damage to equipment.

Use a #6 or approved size bare copper ground wire. Install a 5/8" diameter 8' long copper-clad ground rod, 2' away from the foundation and 1' below the surface of the ground or in accordance with local requirements.

4. Fan Installation


Machine to Earth GroundIt is very important that a machine to earth ground rod be installed at the fan. This is true even if there is a ground at the pole 15' away. This ground needs to be as close to the fan as possible, but no more than 8' away. The ground rod should be connected to the fan control panel with at least a #6 solid bare copper ground wire or in accordance with local requirements. The machine to earth ground provides additional safety if there is a short. It also provides the grounding necessary for long life and operation of the solid state circuit boards used on control circuits and the electronic ignition systems.

Previously Installed Units

It is recommended that previously installed units be checked to see that a machine to earth ground has been installed by an electrician.

Proper Installation of the Ground RodGround rods and wires are not supplied. It is recommended that the rod not be driven into dry ground. The following steps ensure proper ground rod installation:

1. Dig a hole large enough to hold 1 to 2 gallons of water.

2. Fill hole with water.

3. Insert rod through water and jab it into the ground.

4. Continue jabbing the rod up and down, the water will work its way down the hole, making it possible to work the rod completely into the ground. This method of installing the rod gives a good conductive bond with the surrounding soil.

5. Connect the bare copper ground wire to the rod with the proper ground rod clamp.

6. Connect the bare ground wire to the fan control boxes with a grounding lug.

7. Ground wire must not have any breaks or splices. Insulated wire is not recommended for grounding.

Figure 4B

Dig a hole large enough to hold 1 or 2 gallons of water. Work the ground rod into the earth until it is completely in the ground.

6. Fan Operation

After initial installation and also prior to using the unit each season, check the operation to ensure proper functioning, adjustment and reliability.

Fan Start-Up

1. Make certain the unit is properly installed and connected, as described within the installation section of this manual. All air passage joints and seams must be well sealed.

2. With main power supply turned OFF, rotate the blade by hand to make certain it turns freely without contacting the housing or venturi.

3. Open roof doors to allow airflow at all times when fan is operating.

IMPORTANT: Refer to roof damage disclaimer in the safety section on Page 7 of this manual.

4. Turn ON main power disconnect switch.

5. Press the fan Start button and check the following:

a. Check direction of blade rotation. Correct if needed by following the instructions on the motor.

b. Check to make sure the blade comes to full operating speed in less than 10 seconds. If there is any doubt as to proper operation, check the current draw of the motor. The motor amperage should not exceed the maximum full load amps listed on the motor nameplate.

Fan Shut Down1. Press the fan Stop button on units equipped with motor controls.

2. Shut off electrical power at main and at disconnect.

3. Close the roof openings and cover fan inlet to prevent harmful back-draft air currents from passing through the grain and to avoid grain infestation from rodents and insects.

Maintaining Grain QualityTo properly maintain the quality of stored grain, it is necessary to keep the grain dry, cool and insect free. Any one of these problems can contribute to spoilage. Wet, warm grain promotes insect growth as well as grain spoilage. Cool, dry grain can keep for long periods of time. (See Chart on Page 19.)

It is recommended that the grain be kept cool (avoid freezing as freezing can reduce quality). Grain should be cooled through the fall and winter, warmed in the spring and summer.

WARNINGMake certain all guards and covers are securely in place.

6. Fan Operation


Grain Storage

IMPORTANT: Conditions and requirements may vary from area to area. Contact the local agriculture extension office or state agriculture university for more exact guidelines.

Average grain temperature should be above 35°F in the winter and below 65°F in the summer. Always try to keep the grain within 10°F-15°F of the average monthly outside temperature. This means grain may need to be aerated on warm days during the winter to stay above 35°F when freezing temperatures are predominate. During the summer it may be necessary to aerate the grain on cool nights, so the 65°F temperature is not exceeded during the hot days of summer.

If the grain is to be stored more than 1 year, it has to be recooled the following fall and winter, repeating the process as long as the grain is in storage. Frequent and regular inspection (at least weekly during fall and spring) is the best prevention against grain spoilage.

*Allowable holding time for field-shelled corn at various grain temperatures and moisture.

Safe moisture for normal winter storage of shelled corn is about 15%. Grain to be stored through the summer or long term, needs to be 1 to 3 points dryer.

6. Fan Operation


Approximate Hours of Fan Time to Change Bin Temperature

1. Bushels are rounded and approximate.

2. The hours required are based on clean grain. High moisture grain and grain containing fines or foreign material will require more time to complete the air change.

3. Not Recommended: Bins in the NR range, may require fan(s) of a different size to get the cool time into the accepted range.

4. Bins requiring more than 100 hours of aeration to totally change the temperature may require continuous aeration at about 1/10th CFM per bushel or some other acceptable method.

Fan Blade Removal and Installation

The fan blade is secured to the motor shaft by the use of a taper-lock bushing, motor shaft key and cap screws. The size, quantity and torque of cap screws required will depend on the model of the fan.

DANGERAlways disconnect and lock out power before working on or around fan.

CAUTION

Although the taper-lock method of retaining the blade onto the motor shaft is very simple and obvious, it is essential that the following points be read carefully and fully understood, as improper installation can result in serious or fatal injury caused by a loose, fast flying blade.

THREADED BUSHING HOLES: The threaded holes within the bushing are providedfor disassembly purposes only. Do not attempt to use these holes for re-assembly,as they will not allow the parts to become locked onto the shaft, thereby causing an extremely hazardous operating condition.

CLEARANCE HOLES: When re-assembling parts, the cap screws must be installedthrough the UNTAPPED CLEARANCE HOLES to cause the blade to be pulledforward onto the tapered bushing, thus locking the parts securely onto the motorshaft. Refer to Page 23 (under installation section) for assembly details.

6. Fan Operation


Removing the Fan Blade Assembly1. Lock out and tagout the main power to make sure the dryer cannot be started during servicing.

2. Remove the grill guard.

3. If there is a safety washer present, remove the bolt, lock washer and safety washer.

4. Remove the bolts from the unthreaded holes of the bushing. Do not use these bolts for bushing removal.

5. Using an allen wrench, undo the set screw (if present) and remove the key from the keyway.

6. Install grade 5 or stronger bolts into the threaded holes in the bushing and gradually apply torque to each bolt to loosen the bushing.

7. Remove the bushing and fan blade assembly.

Installing the Fan Blade Assembly1. Clean the motor shaft, key, bushing and the bore of the hub with a non-residual cleaner, such as

brake parts cleaner or electric parts cleaner. It is important that these mating surfaces be clean and dry and no grease or oil is present. The parts must be assembled dry for maximum friction.

2. Insert bolts into bushing holes and ensure the shoulder portion of the bolt is NOT protruding the hole.

3. Install the fan blade assembly onto the motor shaft.

4. Align the keyway in the bushing with the key and slide the bushing onto the motor shaft.

NOTE: Do not use excessive force to drive the bushing onto the shaft.

5. Align bushing and hub keyways with the key. Bushing should be flush with the end of the motor shaft.

6. Loosely install the bolts through the unthreaded holes in the bushing into the threaded holes of the hub.

7. Find the applicable torque for the bushing in the chart on Page 22. The bushing type is etched into the face of the bushing.

8. Torque the bushing gradually to evenly seat it inside the hub and onto the motor shaft. Set the torque wrench to 1/3 of the required torque setting and tighten each bolt in a circular pattern three (3) times. Increase the torque setting on the wrench to 2/3 of the required torque and tighten each bolt in a circular pattern three (3) times. Increase the setting on the torque wrench to the final required torque setting and tighten each bolt in a circular pattern three (3) times.

9. If there is a safety washer present, install the washer, lock washer and bolt.

10. Turn the fan blade assembly by hand to make sure there is freedom of movement and uniform clearance around the inlet.

11. Install the grill guard and turn ON the main power source.

CAUTIONDo not use any lubricant or thread locking compound during installation. The use of such products will cause improper bolt torque and will crack the fan hub.

6. Fan Operation


Installing the Fan Blade Assembly (Continued)

12. Operate the fan for 30 minutes.

13. Stop the fan and lock out and tagout the main power to make sure the dryer cannot be started during servicing.

14. Remove the grill guard and re-tighten the bolts in a circular pattern one time at the final required torque setting.

15. Install the grill guard and turn ON the main power source.

7. Fan Service

Fan Blade Inspection and Maintenance

Pre-season inspections should be done on the fan blade to look for the following:

1. Any debris (stalks, bees wings, mud, insects and insect nests) accumulated on the surfaces of the fan blade. Remove these items as they will likely disrupt airflow over the fan airfoils and can potentially cause vibration problems.

2. Inspect the fan blade for any broken, cracked or loose parts. Blade should NOT be operated with broken or loose parts. Contact dealer for determination of the repairs required.

Removal and Installation

In the event of motor failure, remove the motor, as described and take it to the nearest Authorized Service Station. AUTHORIZED SERVICE STATIONS ARE THE ONLY PLACES THAT CAN PROVIDE MOTOR WARRANTY. Motor service and repair at other places will be at owner’s expense. If service station determines motor failure to be caused by faulty material or workmanship, repair will be under warranty when within the warranty period. Motor failure because of external causes will result in a charge to the owner for repair.

1. LOCK OUT THE MAIN POWER SUPPLY, then remove fan guard, venturi and blade as outlined earlier.

2. Open motor junction box cover and disconnect the motor lead wires from within the box.

NOTE: Tag or otherwise identify wires for ease of re-assembly.

3. Remove motor mount bolts. If there are any shims between the motor and its base, note their locations so they can be properly installed during re-assembly.

4. Disconnect the motor end of the motor conduit, if required, then carefully pull conduit and wires through hole in the motor junction box. Remove motor. If motor requires service, take it to an Authorized Service Station.

5. To re-install motor, slide onto motor base plate and replace shims (if required) between motor and base plate. Re-install motor mount bolts and washers and fully tighten them at this time. Re-install conduit and wires and carefully remake all electrical wiring connections.

NOTE: Make sure to install and tighten the blade in accordance with earlier instructions.

WARNING

Do not attempt to pull the flange of the bushing flush with the blade hub. A clearance of 1/8'' to 1/4'' must be maintained between bushing flange and blade hub surface. Blade will loosen and cause damage or injury.

7. Fan Service


General Inspection

Inspect the motor at regular intervals, approximately every 500 hours of operation or every three (3) months, whichever occurs first. Keep the motor clean and the ventilation openings clear. The following steps should be performed at each inspection:

1. Check that the motor is clean. Check that the interior and exterior of the motor is free of dirt, oil, grease, water, etc. Oily vapor, paper pulp, textile lint, etc., can accumulate and block motor ventilation. If the motor is not properly ventilated, over heating can occur and cause early motor failure.

2. Check all electrical connectors to be sure that they are tight.

Lubrication and Bearings

Bearing grease will lose its lubricating ability over time, not suddenly. The lubricating ability of a grease (over time) depends primarily on the type of grease, the size of the bearing, the speed at which the bearing operates and the severity of the operating conditions. Good results can be obtained if the following recommendations are used in the maintenance program. Type of grease: A high grade ball or roller bearing grease should be used.

Recommended grease for standard service conditions:

1. Polyrex EM (Exxon Mobil)

Equivalent and compatible greases include:

1. Texaco polystar

2. Rykon premium #2

3. Pennzoil pen 2 lube

4. Chevron SRI

Lubrication Procedure

Be sure that the grease you are adding to the motor is compatible with the grease already in the motor.

With Grease Outlet Plug

1. Clean all grease fittings.

2. Remove grease outlet plug.

3. Add the recommended amount of grease.

4. Re-install grease outlet plug.

DANGER

Do not touch electrical connections before you first ensure that power has been disconnected. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury. Only qualified personnel should attempt the installation, operation and maintenance of this equipment.

CAUTIONTo avoid damage to motor bearings, grease must be free of dirt.
