 Safety

Explosion Proof Roof Exhauster Information

MFS grain bin Roof Exhauster Fans () have been designed to operate in a hazardous
agricultural environment as defined by the United States National Electric Code, Article
500 Class I Group D and Class II, Group F and G.
Class I Group D locations are those in which flammable gases or vapors (such as propane
or natural gas) are or may be present in the air in quantities sufficient to produce explosive or
ignitable mixtures.
Class II Group F and G are atmosphere locations containing combustible dusts including
flour, grain, wood, plastic, chemicals, and carbonaceous dusts such as coal, carbon black,
and charcoal.

SAFETY NOTE:

The MFS explosion proof Roof Exhauster Fans must be installed and wired according to
the latest United States National Electrical Code (NEC). The conduit, wiring, terminations,
switches, fittings, boxes, and fuses must be selected and installed per NEC article 500
Class I Group D and Class II Group F and G. Failure to do so may result in an explosion.
Conduit and fittings may require explosion‑proof sealing (see latest NEC). Only qualified
personnel familiar with explosion-proof wiring techniques should install these Roof
Exhausters. NEC-compliant grounding techniques must be used to avoid any static
electricity sparks.
If maintenance or repair work requires disconnection or removal of the exhauster motor, the
replacement motor and re-connections must be exactly the same as the original type. Wiring,
conduit, and fittings must be repaired and/or replaced as stipulated by NEC. Failure to do so
may cause an explosion.

OSHA, ANSI, NIOSH

Use proper lifting or hoisting equipment
to accomplish heavy lifting.

 <4> Operation
Pre-Start Instructions
• With the power supply disconnected and locked out, make certain that the Roof Exhauster is
free of debris.
• Rotate the fan impeller to make sure that it revolves easily and does not rub against the housing.
• Make certain the fan guard is securely in place.
• Inspect ALL fasteners to make certain they are tight. If any are loose, check for proper clearance
and retighten.
• Make certain the disconnect switch and Roof Exhauster are properly grounded.

Ensure Proper Motor Rotation

ATTENTION: Before testing or running the newly installed Roof Exhauster, ensure there is sufficient
air that can ENTER the bin - open access doors, drying fans turned ON, etc.
• The first time the fan is started, run it briefly to make sure the fan is rotating in the proper
direction and that air is flowing out of the bin.
• If air is flowing in the wrong direction, instruct your electrician to reverse the the motor
connections and re-check to ensure proper rotation and air flow.

Normal Operation
NOTE: The Roof Exhauster Fan SHOULD BE RUN AT LEAST 30 CONTINUOUS MINUTES EVERY
3 WEEKS to eliminate damaging moisture buildup in the motor.
• Ensure the unit always runs in conjunction with aeration fans.
• Single-phase motors may encounter problems during the initial starting surge. The initial
starting amperage surge is usually about 5 times the specified rating. The total voltage
drop should not be below 190 volts on starting surge nor should it be lower than the NEMA* specified
10% of line voltage during continuous motor operation. If the voltage drops below
190 volts during the starting surge, the capacitors may burn out. If line voltage remains low
during operation, the motor is likely to overheat in which case a nuisance shutoff or burnout is
likely to occur.

 <5> Maintenance
WARNING!
Follow all safety procedures as outlined
in the SAFETY section of this manual.
Use Lock Out / Tag Out procedures
when required and ensure all guards are
in place.

Maintenance Overview
MFS takes pride in choosing quality vendors and products in association with product design and
manufacture.
• OEM products have a service life related to operating conditions and usage.

Before each season or use:

• Complete the “OPERATION - Pre Start” instructions and verify completion for each step.

During regular use - based on overall conditions and amount of use:

• Run the Roof Exhauster AT LEAST 30 CONTINUOUS MINUTES EVERY 3 WEEKS to eliminate
damaging moisture buildup in the motor.
• Keep the outlet guard free of debris - motor will eventually overheat and shut down if debris
are allowed to accumulate. Debris are also one of the main causes of abnormal vibrations and
excessive moisture buildup.
• Check for fan impeller damage and replace if needed. Damage usually results in an out-of-balance
situation, which causes vibration.
• Inspect and immediately replace any damaged fan guards.
• Check for proper lubrication.

Lubrication Requirements
NOTE: On grease-able sealed bearings, apply grease
ONLY until a thin bead of new grease is visible along
the seal edge. Applying excessive grease may force
out the seals, causing contamination and rapid
bearing wear.

• Motor bearings are double‑sealed and require little or no servicing. Any servicing should be
performed by an authorized motor service center.• Check for proper lubrication.

Fan Motor
NOTE: Motors used in Roof Exhauster Fan units are
standard NEMA* frame motors. These motors are
specifically designed for use in crop drying and are
protected either by built‑in thermal overloads or by
