• Do not obstruct the ventilation.
• Prevent the air expelled by neighboring equipment from being immediately sucked in again.
• For vertical types of machine construction with the air intake from above, protect the air
• If the shaft extension is facing upwards, liquid must be prevented from entering by moving
Damage to the ventilation system
Material damage and injury can occur if the fan is destroyed and therefore the machine
overheats.
• Prevent foreign bodies from falling into the fan cover. For vertical machine installation with
