Inspection And Maintenance During Storage; Removing From Storage - Greenheck SDPHE Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

Receiving, Unpacking, and Storage
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 note 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, contact your local
representative immediately. 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.
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 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 that 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.
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 in. (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.
2 Hazardous Sidewall Propeller Fans
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 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 and 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 propeller by hand ten to fifteen
revolutions to distribute lubricant on motor.
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 Tectyll 506 (Ashland Inc.) or the equivalent. For
hard to reach internal surfaces or for occasional use,
®
consider using Tectyll 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.
