Removing From Storage - Greenheck AER Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

DANGER
Pour écarter les risques d'incendie, de choc électrique
ou de blessure grave, veiller à toujours débrancher,
verrouiller et étiqueter la source de courant avant
l'installation ou l'entretien.
ATTENTION
Lors de toute intervention sur la soufflante, le moteur
peut être suffisamment chaud pour provoquer une
douleur voire une blessure. Laisser le moteur refroidir
avant toute maintenance.
ATTENTION
Faire preuve de précaution dans les atmosphères
explosives.
Receiving
Upon receiving the product, check to ensure all items
are accounted for by referencing the delivery receipt or
packing list. Inspect each crate or carton for shipping
damage before accepting delivery. Alert the carrier
of any damage detected. The customer will make
notification of damage (or shortage of items) on the
delivery receipt and all copies of the bill of lading which
is countersigned by the delivering carrier. If damaged,
immediately contact your Representative. Any physical
damage to the unit after acceptance is not the
responsibility of the Manufacturer.
Unpacking
Verify that all required parts and the correct quantity
of each item have been received. If any items are
missing, report shortages to your local representative to
arrange for obtaining missing parts. Sometimes it is not
possible that all items for the unit be shipped together
due to availability of transportation and truck space.
Confirmation of shipment(s) must be limited to only
items on the bill of lading.
Note: The filtered supply unit ships with all ordered
components completely factory-assembled. The
optional weatherhood ships knocked down for field
assembly and installation.
Storage
Fans are protected against damage during shipment. If
the unit cannot be installed and operated immediately,
precautions need to be taken to prevent deterioration of
the unit during storage. The user assumes responsibility
of the fan and accessories while in storage. The
manufacturer will not be responsible for damage during
storage. These suggestions are provided solely as a
convenience to the user.
Indoor -
The ideal environment for the storage of
fans and accessories is indoors, above grade, in a
low humidity atmosphere which is sealed to prevent
the entry of blowing dust, rain or snow. Temperatures
should be evenly maintained between 30° to 110°F
(-1° to 43°C). Wide temperature swings may cause
condensation and "sweating" of metal parts. All
2 Sidewall Propeller Fans
accessories must be stored indoors in a clean,
dry atmosphere.
Remove any accumulations of dirt, water, ice or snow
and wipe dry before moving to indoor storage. To avoid
"sweating" of metal parts allow cold parts to reach room
temperature. To dry parts and packages use a portable
electric heater to get rid of any moisture build up. Leave
coverings loose to permit air circulation and to allow
for periodic inspection. The unit should be stored at
least 3-1/2 inch (89 mm) off the floor on wooden blocks
covered with moisture proof paper or polyethylene
sheathing. Aisles between parts and along all walls
should be provided to permit air circulation and space
for inspection.
Outdoor -
Fans designed for outdoor applications may
be stored outdoors, if absolutely necessary. Roads
or aisles for portable cranes and hauling equipment
are needed.
The fan should be placed on a level surface to prevent
water from leaking into the fan. The fan should be
elevated on an adequate number of wooden blocks
so that it is above water and snow levels and has
enough blocking to prevent it from settling into soft
ground. Locate parts far enough apart to permit air
circulation, sunlight and space for periodic inspection.
To minimize water accumulation, place all fan parts on
blocking supports so that rain water will run off. Do not
cover parts with plastic film or tarps as these cause
condensation of moisture from the air passing through
heating and cooling cycles. Fan propellers should be
blocked to prevent spinning caused by strong winds.
Inspection & Maintenance During Storage
While in storage, inspect fans once per month. Keep a
record of inspection and maintenance performed.
If moisture or dirt accumulations are found on parts,
the source should be located and eliminated. At each
inspection, rotate the wheel by hand ten to fifteen
revolutions to distribute lubricant on motor. If paint
deterioration begins, consideration should be given to
touch-up or repainting. Fans with special coatings may
require special techniques for touch-up or repair.
Machined parts coated with rust preventive should be
restored to good condition promptly if signs of rust
occur. Immediately remove the original rust preventive
coating with petroleum solvent and clean with lint-free
cloths. Polish any remaining rust from surface with
crocus cloth or fine emery paper and oil. Do not destroy
the continuity of the surfaces. Thoroughly wipe clean
with Tectyl® 506 (Ashland Inc.) or the equivalent. For
hard to reach internal surfaces or for occasional use,
consider using Tectyl® 511M Rust Preventive, WD-40®
or the equivalent.

Removing from Storage

As fans are removed from storage to be installed in their
final location, they should be protected and maintained
in a similar fashion until the fan equipment goes
into operation.
