MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance of this product is essential to ensure its safe and long-term operation. It is the
responsibility of the building owner or manager to outline the maintenance program throughout the
product’s lifespan. The following components should be inspected on a regular basis:
WARNING: Prior to inspecting the ventilator ensure that the power is turned off and that the ventilator head
is held in a static position by another person using a gloved hand on the top surface of the turbine (away
from the turbine blades) – this should not be undertaken on a windy day when the turbine head cannot be
safely slowed.
•
Rotating/turbine head – check for excessive movement/contact between components, unusual noise
during rotation, listen for noises and assess visual wear & tear.
•
Fasteners – check all are in situ and well-sealed.
•
Flashing Connections – check joints that are meant to be sealed remain sealed and that those that
are meant to be unsealed are clear of obstruction.
•
Pestguard (if provided) – ensure this is clear of debris.
•
Electrical component and connections – check connections for wear or exposure damage.

the possible outcome if the Varipitch connection has
been slightly separated during angle adjustment or has
not been sealed.
