Fan Shaft
The fan shaft is fabricated from stainless steel. The exposed areas of
the fan shaft are coated with a soft seal for added corrosion protection.
It is recommended that the coating be inspected for continuity
quarterly or at least every 6 months. Any signs of surface corrosion
must be treated. This involves;
1. Removal of the protective coating with a suitable cleaning medium.
2. The removal of any surface corrosion with emery cloth.
3. The re-coating of the shaft with soft seal.
