Steel Grease Fan
3
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
-
Fans 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 fan. The fan 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 fan 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.
Fan wheels should be blocked to prevent spinning
caused by strong winds.
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 wheel by hand ten to fifteen
revolutions to distribute lubricant in motor. 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 lint-free
cloths. Polish any remaining rust from surface with
crocus cloth or fine emery paper and oil. Do not destroy
the continuity of the surfaces. Thoroughly wipe 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, WD-40
®
or the equivalent.
Removing From Storage
As fans are removed from storage to be installed in their
final location, they should be protected and maintained
in a similar fashion until the fan equipment goes into
operation.
