Receiving
Upon receiving the product check to make sure all items
are accounted for by referencing the bill of lading to
ensure all items were received. Inspect each crate for
shipping damage before accepting delivery. Notify the
carrier if any damage is noticed. The carrier will make
notification on the delivery receipt acknowledging any
damage to the product. All damage should be noted on
all the copies of the bill of lading which is countersigned
by the delivering carrier. A Carrier Inspection Report
should be filled out by the carrier upon arrival and
reported to the Traffic Department. If damaged upon
arrival, file claim with carrier. Any physical damage to
the unit after acceptance is not the responsibility of
manufacturer.
Unpacking
Verify that all required parts and the correct quantity
of each item have been received. If any items are
missing, report shortages to your local representative to
arrange for obtaining missing parts. Sometimes it is not
possible that all items for the unit be shipped together
due to availability of transportation and truck space.
Confirmation of shipment(s) must be limited to only
items on the bill of lading.
Handling
Units are to be rigged and moved by the lifting brackets
provided or by the skid when a forklift is used. Location
of brackets varies by model and size. Handle in such
a manner as to keep from scratching or chipping the
coating. Damaged finish may reduce ability of unit to
resist corrosion.
Storage
Units are protected against damage during shipment. If
the unit cannot be installed and operated immediately,
precautions need to be taken to prevent deterioration of
the unit during storage. The user assumes responsibility
of the unit and accessories while in storage. The
manufacturer will not be responsible for damage during
storage. These suggestions are provided solely as a
convenience to the user.
INDOOR
The ideal environment for the storage of units and
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 between 30°F (-1°C) and
110°F (43°C) (wide temperature swings may cause
condensation and “sweating” of metal parts). All
accessories must be stored indoors in a clean, dry
atmosphere.
Remove any accumulations of dirt, water, ice, or snow
and wipe dry before moving to indoor storage. To avoid
“sweating” of metal parts allow cold parts to reach room
temperature. To dry parts and packages use a portable
electric heater to get rid of any moisture build up. Leave
coverings loose to permit air circulation and to allow for
periodic inspection.
The unit should be stored at least 3½ inches (89 mm)
off the floor on wooden blocks covered with moisture
proof paper or polyethylene sheathing. Aisles between
parts and along all walls should be provided to permit
air circulation and space for inspection.
OUTDOOR
Units designed for outdoor applications may be stored
outdoors, if absolutely necessary. Roads or aisles for
portable cranes and hauling equipment are needed.
The fan should be placed on a level surface to prevent
water from leaking into the unit. The unit should be
elevated on an adequate number of wooden blocks so
that it is above water and snow levels and has enough
blocking to prevent it from settling into soft ground.
Locate parts far enough apart to permit air circulation,
sunlight, and space for periodic inspection. To minimize
water accumulation, place all unit parts on blocking
supports so that rain water will run off.
Do not cover parts with plastic film or tarps as these
cause condensation of moisture from the air passing
through heating and cooling cycles.
Inspection and Maintenance during
Storage
While in storage, inspect fans once per month. Keep a
record of inspection and maintenance performed.
If moisture or dirt accumulations are found on parts,
the source should be located and eliminated. At each
inspection, rotate the fan wheel by hand ten to fifteen
revolutions to distribute lubricant on motor. Every three
months, the fan motor should be energized. 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.
Machined parts coated with rust preventive should be
restored to good condition promptly if signs of rust
occur. Immediately remove the original rust preventive
coating with petroleum solvent and clean with lintfree cloths. Polish any remaining rust from surface
with crocus cloth or fine emery paper and oil. Do not
destroy the continuity of the surfaces. Wipe thoroughly
clean with Tectyl® 506 (Ashland Inc.) or the equivalent.
For hard to reach internal surfaces or for occasional
use, consider using Tectyl® 511M Rust Preventive or
WD-40® or the equivalent.

in their final location, they should be protected and
maintained in a similar fashion, until the equipment goes
into operation.
Prior to installing the unit and system components,
inspect the unit assembly to make sure it is in working
order.
1. Check all fasteners, set screws on the fan, wheel,
bearings, drive, motor base, and accessories for
tightness.
2. Rotate the fan wheel(s) by hand and assure no parts
are rubbing.

IMPORTANT
All gas piping must be installed in accordance
with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI/Z223.1 and any local codes that may
apply. In Canada, the equipment shall be installed
in accordance with the Installation Code for Gas
Burning Appliances and Equipment (CGA B149)
and Provincial Regulations for the class. Authorities
having jurisdiction should be consulted before
installations are made.
All piping should be clean and free of any foreign
matter. Foreign material entering the gas train can
damage the valves, regulators and burner.
Do NOT connect the unit to gas types other than
what is specified and do NOT connect the unit to
gas pressures that are outside of the pressure range
shown on the label.
WARNING
All components of this or any other gas fired heating
unit must be leak tested prior to placing the unit
