Long Term

Long term storage is more than six months from the
date of shipment. If long term storage is anticipated,
contact the PACE sales representative for the proper
instructions and requirements.
It is mandatory that a detailed record be maintained
during this long term period, such as, but not limited to
the following:
• Proper sealing of the cabinet
• Rotation of the blowers and bearings
• Protection of all motors from moisture
Refer to Long Term Storage Requirement - Field Prep-
aration (Form PA50.20-NM3) and Long Term Storage
Periodic Checklist and Logs (Form PA50.20-CL3) for
more information.
Failure to fulfill the long term storage
requirements will void the warranty.
Receiver's Responsibility
The receiver is solely responsible for noting the
freight bill and filling out the freight claims IMME-
DIATELY. In addition, the receiver must:
• Note the visible damage on the signed and
dated bill of lading with a request that the
carrier inspect the damage within 72 hours
of notification.

with a tarp or similar protective covering. Any
concealed damage reported after 15 days will
compromise a claim settlement.
• Request inspections by telephone or in person,

with the claim process, contact a PACE sales
representative and refer to the shipping
damage form.

Preventive Maintenance Prior to Long
Term Storage
Take the following precautions prior to extended stor-
age:
• Grease the fan and motor bearings per the manu-
facturer's specifications.
• Protect the motors and sheaves from free mois-
ture or high humidity, which may be accomplished
by:
• Spraying components with an anti-rust solu-
tion (P/N 026-37707-000).
• Disconnecting the belts. Wrapping the
sheaves and motor and sealing them with
plastic. Inserting a desiccant to absorb mois-
ture that may penetrate the plastic protection.
• Meg the fan motor windings and record for com-
parison prior to placing the AHU in service.
• If the fan housing was supplied with a drain con-
nection, remove the plug to prevent moisture from
accumulating in this part of the fan during storage.
Periodic Fan Check
On a monthly basis, perform the following tasks:
• Rotate the fan and motor several times to replen-
ish the bearing surfaces with fresh grease.
• Turn the fan impeller 180° from the previous
month's position to prevent the belts from taking
a set position.
Monthly Log Sheet
It is the customer's responsibility to submit a monthly
log sheet from the Long Term Storage Periodic Check-
list and Logs (Form PA50.20-CL3) that shows the con-
dition of the AHU and to note any discrepancies. Send
a copy of the log sheet to the PACE Field Service Of-
fice for its records.
