This manual is to guide the users in the proper storage, installation, operation and maintenance procedures to ensure maximum equipment life and trouble-free operation. HANDLING AND MAINTENANCE SHOULD ALWAYS BE PERFORMED BY EXPERIENCED AND TRAINED PERSONNEL. RECEIVING, HANDLING AND STORAGE Rough handling during shipment and improper storage can cause damage that is not noticeable until the fan is in operation.
The fan may now be put into operation but during the first 8 hrs of running, it should be periodically observed and checked for excessive vibration and noise. Checks should be make of motor input current and motor & bearing temperature to ensure that they do not exceed manufacturer’s recommendation.

GUIDELINES FOR DUCTED AXIAL FLOW FAN INSTALLATION INCORRECT CORRECT Motor downstream from impeller minimizes turbulence Motor upstream of impeller increases turbulence and noise and noise Abrupt inlet transition causes turbulence Gradual (1:7) expansion of the inlet duct avoids impeller turbulence Upstream radius elbow creates imbalance at inlet Square inlet elbow with extended trailing edge vanes delivers less turbulent airflow to fan inlet...
