Receiving
Upon receiving the product, check to make sure all
items are accounted for by referencing the packing
list and ensuring all items were received. Inspect
each crate for shipping damage before accepting
delivery. Notify the carrier if any damage is noticed.
The carrier will make notification on the delivery receipt
acknowledging any damage to the product. All damage
should be noted on all the copies of the bill of lading
which is countersigned by the delivering carrier. A
Carrier Inspection Report should be filled out by the
carrier upon arrival and filed with the Traffic Department.
If damaged upon arrival, file claim with carrier. Any
physical damage to the unit after acceptance is not the
responsibility of Greenheck Fan Corporation.
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. Filters are shipped
on a separate skid in their original packaging. Do not
remove factory packaging or install filters until just prior
to commissioning. Remove all other shipping/packing
materials including fan tie down straps.
Handling
Units are to be rigged and moved by the lifting brackets
provided or by the skid when a forklift is used. Location
of brackets varies by model and size. Handle in such
a manner as to keep from scratching or chipping the
coating. Damaged finish may reduce ability of unit to
resist corrosion.
Storage
Units 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 unit 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
units 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°F (-1°C)
and 110°F (43°C). Wide temperature swings may
cause condensation and "sweating" of metal parts.
All 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
2
Kitchen Hoods • Type I and Type II
portable electric heater to get rid of any moisture
buildup. Leave coverings loose to permit air circulation
and to allow for periodic inspection.
OUTDOOR -
Units designed for outdoor applications
may be stored outdoors, if absolutely necessary. Roads
or aisles for portable cranes and hauling equipment are
needed.
The unit should be placed on a level surface to prevent
water from leaking into it. The unit 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 unit 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.
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 fan wheel by hand ten to fifteen
revolutions to distribute lubricant on motor. Every three
months, the fan motor should be energized. 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. Wipe thoroughly
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 or
WD-40
or the equivalent.

Removing from Storage
As units are removed from storage to be installed
in their final location, they should be protected and
maintained in a similar fashion until the equipment goes
into operation. Prior to installing the unit and system
components, inspect the unit assembly to make sure it
is in working order.
• Check all fasteners, set screws on the fan, wheel,
bearings, drive, motor base, and accessories for
tightness.
• Rotate the fan wheel(s), where applicable, by hand
and assure no parts are rubbing.
