Receiving

Upon receiving the product check to make sure 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 Greenheck Representatives.
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.
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.
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. The following 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°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.
2 Mixed Flow
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 3½ inches (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 - 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.
The use of a tarp to cover the unit will aid in keeping it
clean and dry. Avoid using a black plastic tarp as it will
promote condensation.
Fan wheels 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. Wipe clean thoroughly
®
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.
