2.1 On receipt of the product we recommend that it is checked against what was ordered. Before fully
unpacking the product please check that it has not been damaged during transit (deformed casing,

sharp edges, burrs, nails, staples, splinters etc. The fan packaging should be considered as a protective
device only.

lifted slowly to prevent damage and distortion. Lift unit into position using spreaders or slings, ensuring
you have the appropriately rated equipment for the weight of the unit.
WARNING! The mounting brackets, plastic handles or packaging must not be used as lifting
devices when slinging the unit.
2.3 The stored product must not have equipment stacked on it, and it must not be stacked on other
equipment. The packaging must not be used as a lifting device unless otherwise indicated (such as a
pallet). The product should be stored in a safe, clean, dry, vibration-free location.
2.4 If the product is to be stored for 12 months or more, an inspection by Woods Air Movement service centre
