Installation Instructions
Unpacking and Inspection
•
The unit was tested and inspected prior to packing and
was in perfect condition at the time at time of despatch.
•
The unit should be inspected upon delivery for
possible external damage incurred during transport.
If damage is evident it should be noted on the freight
docket and contact is to be made with the Armcor
Air Solutions sales office. A claim should be lodged
with the shipping company within 3 days if goods are
damaged or incomplete. No claims will be recognised
after this date.
• IF MAJOR DAMAGE IS APPARENT, DO NOT INSTALL UNIT
ON TO SITE WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL FROM ARMCOR.
•
Check unit rating plate to ensure the correct unit
matches the job specifications.
Unit Handling
•
Protective crating or packaging and the pallets
should not be removed until the unit is at the point of
installation.
•
When removing packaging or crating, be careful not
to damage, scratch or dent the unit.
•
After removal of packaging, all removable access panels
should be opened to inspect for unit internal damage.
Lifting with a Crane
• SAFETY
– when installing or working on equipment,
always adhere to safety codes and guidelines.
Wear safety goggles, work gloves, work boots and
protective clothing.
•
All units should be lifted into position using
SLINGS
and not
CHAINS
. (Chains may damage exterior finish
on the fan unit).
•
Where units must be craned into position, installers
must check unit weight is within the safe tolerance of
the working capacity of the crane.
•
Prepare for lifting with spreaders as you would do
with lifting air conditioning equipment.
•
When lifting equipment never stand under the load.
•
Beware of lifting equipment on to roof areas in windy
conditions. Only lift when weather conditions are
favourable.
Lifting with a Forklift
•
Exercise extreme caution when lifting with a forklift.
Do not exceed the height limit of the forklift and
never allow the forklift forks to make contact directly
with the bottom panel of the unit.
•
Make careful consideration of the unit’s centre
of gravity and distribute the weight equally
on both forks. Test load to see if the weight is
equally distributed. Do this by lifting the unit a
few centimetres off the ground level and checking
stability before lifting any further or before
transporting the unit.
Suspending the Unit
•
Before suspending the unit, check the supporting
beams have sufficient load carrying capacity to
support the weight of the unit. Equipment is supplied
with brackets to support the unit.
•
We recommend that all compact multiflow units
be suspended or supported with suitable mounting
springs to eliminate the transmission of vibration.
•
At each corner of the unit, there are 6mm bolts and
captive nuts. The bolt can be removed and a hanging
bracket attached to this fixing point if required.
Hanging Bracket Fixing
•
Remove 6mm corner bolt.
•
Align bracket and re-fit corner bolt.
•
Secure with two additional self-drilling screws
through base
