General Information
To ensure a successful installation, the instructions in this manual should be read and adhered to. Failure to
comply with proper installation procedures may void the warranty.
Unit and System Identification Tags
Each fan has a permanently affixed manufacturer's engraved metal nameplate containing the model number and
individual serial number.
The tag shown is an example of an identification nameplate on the
fan. The information provides general details about the fan, as well as
containing specific information unique to the unit. When contacting
your local manufacturer's representative with future needs or questions,
have the information on this label available. Tags are mounted in an area
which is clearly visible, usually on the side of the fan cabinet.

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 a notation 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 local representative. Any physical damage to the unit after acceptance is not the responsibility of
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.
Handling
Fans 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 the ability of the fan to resist corrosion. Fans should never be lifted by the
shaft, fan housing, motor, belt guard, windband or accessories.
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 wheel by hand ten to fifteen revolutions to distribute lubricant in motor and bearings. 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
to reach internal surfaces or for occasional use, consider using Tectyl
equivalent.
