RE CEIVING AND IN SPEC TION
Immediately upon receipt of a shipment, carefully inspect for damage and shortage. If any damage and/or shortage is detected or suspected the carrier must be asked to conduct an inspection. The consignee’s representative should not accept shipment without a notation on the delivery receipt indicating items not delivered or apparent extent of damage.
When a shipment is opened and damage is found which was not evident externally (concealed damage), it is mandatory that the consignee request an immediate inspection by the carrier. Report damage to the carrier within 15 days. Failure to report damage within the above time limit will cause rejection of a claim.
HAN DLING
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 at between 70°F and 105°F (wide temperature swings may cause condensation and "sweating" of metal parts). Windows should be covered to prevent temperature variations caused by sunlight. Provide thermometers and humidity indicators at several points and maintain the atmosphere at 40% relative humidity, or lower.
It may be necessary to use trays of renewable desiccant or portable dehumidifier to remove moisture from the air in the storage enclosure.
Thermostatically controlled portable heaters (vented to outdoors) may be required to maintain even temperatures inside the enclosure.
When handling fans and their accessories, always use equipment and methods that will not cause damage. Fans should be lifted using slings and padding or spreaders to avoid damage.
CAUTION! Always make sure that all lifting and handling equipment and techniques conform to current safety standards.
Avoid lifting fans in a way that will bend or distort fan parts. Never pass slings or timbers through the orifices of fan.
CAUTION! Do not lift by the fan hood. Fans with special coatings or paints must be protected in handling to prevent damage.
STOR AGE
Fans are protected against damage during shipment. If they cannot be installed and put into operation immediately upon receipt certain precautions are necessary to prevent deterioration during storage. Responsibility for integrity of fans and accessories during storage must be assumed by the user. The manufacturer will not be responsible for damage during storage. These suggestions are provided solely as a convenience to the user, who shall make his own decision as to whether to use any or all of them.
CAUTION! Provide fire extinguishers, or fire alarms, or emergency response communication to protect building and equipment against fire damage. Be sure that building and storage practices meet all local, state and federal fire and safety codes.
The following fans or accessories must be stored indoors, in a clean dry atmosphere:
a. Propeller wall fans not in wall housings. b. Any fan that is protected by a cardboard carton. c. Motors dismounted from fans. d. Spare wheels or propellers. e. Belts, sheaves, bushings and other parts when
not mounted on fan. f. Boxes, bags or cartons of hardware. g. Curbs h. Dampers
Remove any accumulations of dirt, water, ice or snow and wipe dry before moving indoor storage. Allow cold parts to reach room temperature to avoid “sweating” of metal parts. Open boxes or cartons. Remove any accumulated moisture; if necessary use portable electric heaters to dry parts and packages. Leave coverings loose to permit air circulation and to permit periodic inspection.
Rotate wheels or propellers by hand to distribute bearing grease over the entire bearing surfaces.
Page 2
Store at least 3 ½” off the floor on wooden blocks covered with moisture proof paper or polyethylene sheathing. Provide aisles between parts and along all walls, to permit air circulation and space for inspection.
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.
OUTDOOR: Fans designed for outdoor use may be stored outdoors, if absolutely necessary. The storage area should be reasonably level and drained or ditched to prevent accumulation of water. Fencing and lighting for security are desirable. Roads or aisles for portable cranes and hauling equipment are needed. Consider the use of drift fencing to minimize accumulation of blowing snow or dirt.
The following fans may be stored outdoors, if dry indoor storage space is not available:
a. Fans intended for outdoor use that are crated
in wood.
b. Wall fans installed in wall housings.
All fans must be supported on wooden blocks or timbers above water or normal snow levels. Provide enough blocking to prevent settling into soft ground. Fans should be set in place using the directional arrow markings on the crate as a guide.
Locate pieces far enough apart to permit air circulation, sunlight, and space for periodic inspection. Place all parts on their supports so that rain water will run off, or to minimize water accumulation. Do not cover parts with plastic film or tarps-these cause condensation of moisture from the air passing through heating and cooling cycles.
Fan wheels and propellers should be blocked to prevent spinning caused by strong winds.
IN SPEC TION AND MAIN TE NANCE
DURING STOR AGE
Machined parts coated with rust preventive should be restored to good condition promptly if signs of rust occur. The most critical items are pulleys, shafts and bearing locking collars. At the first sign of rusting on any of the above parts, remove the original rust preventive coating with petroleum solvent and clean lint-free cloths. Polish any remaining rust from surfaces with crocus cloth or fine emery paper and oil. Do not destroy the continuity of the surfaces. Wipe clean with lint-free cloths and recoat surfaces evenly and thoroughly with Tectly 506 (Ashland Oil Company) or equal. For hard to reach internal surfaces or for occasional use, consider using Tectly 511M Rust Preventive or WD40 or equal.
RE MOVING FROM STOR AGE
As fans are removed from storage to be installed in their final location, they should be protected and maintained in similar fashion, until the fan equipment goes into operation.
IN STAL LA TION
1. This device is combined with units that have rotating parts and safety precautions should be exercised during installation, operation and maintenance.
WINDMILLING: Even when the power supply is locked out, fans may cause injury or damage if the impeller is subject “windmilling” which is the turning of the impeller and drive components due to a draft in the system. To guard against this hazard, the impeller should be secured to physically restrict rotational movement.
Inspect fans and accessories at least once per month, while in storage. Log results of inspection and maintenance performed. A typical log entry should include the following:
a. Date b. Inspector’s Name c. Name of Fan d. Location e. Condition of Paint or Coating f. Is moisture present? g. Is dirt accumulated? h. Corrective steps taken?
If moisture or dirt accumulations are found on parts, the source should be located and eliminated. Fans should be rotated at each inspection by hand ten to fifteen revolutions to redistribute the motor and bearing lubricant.
2. WARNING! Do not use in hazardous environments where fan’s electrical system could provide ignition to combustible or flammable materials, unless unit is specifically built for hazardous environments.
3. CAUTION! Guards must be installed when fan is within reach of personnel or within seven (7) feet (2.134 m) of working level or when deemed advisable for safety.
4. Place Combination Curb Adaptor (CCA) on the roof curb so that the shorter curb is on top of the supply duct and the taller curb is on top of the exhaust duct. See Figures 1 and 2.
5. Install the filtered air supply fan on the shorter curb of the CCA as shown in Figure 2. Installation instructions for the filter air supply fan are attached to the unit (Form No. 613100).

6. Install the duct extension per the attached installation instructions. (Form No. 613100)
7. Install the exhaust fan (Upblast Centrifugal Roof Exhauster, Belt Drive) on the taller curb so that the down spout is perpendicular to the CCA. See Figure 2. Installation instructions for the Upblast Centrifugal Roof Exhauster, Belt Drive (Form No.
613115) are attached to the unit.
