Receiving
Overview
Most ClearAir units are shipped in one piece. However, some units, because of size or special jobsite
conditions, may be shipped in multiple sections. Follow the instructions provided with the unit to join the
sections back together.
Receiving
If the unit includes media bed odor control, the media panels are packaged separately. Verify
against the shipping documents that you have received all items and note any shipping damage, obvious or
hidden, to your carrier and on your Bill of Lading. If damage is found, immediately file a claim with the
transport company. All units are thoroughly inspected and fully operation tested at the factory prior to
shipment.
Verify that the electrical and air flow ratings on the unit nameplate agrees with jobsite requirements. If a
contradiction arises notify the factory prior to proceeding with installation.
Safety Considerations
Installing and servicing the ClearAir
unit can be hazardous due to the presence of electrical components.
Only trained and qualified service personnel should install or service this equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance, such as cleaning and replacing filters. All other
operations should be performed by trained service personnel. When installing or servicing, observe
precautions in literature and on tags and labels attached to unit.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Use quenching cloth for brazing
operations. Have fire extinguisher available. Read these instructions thoroughly.
Odor Control Media Short Term Storage
Units that include media bed odor control, the media panels are shipped separate from the unit. The
media panels must be stored in a dry place with less than 95% relative humidity.
Exhaust Fan Receiving and Storage
If the unit is equipped with an exhaust fan and if it is going to sit idle for any length of time the
following must be done:
1.
Completely fill the bearings with grease or moisture-inhibiting oil. Loren Cook Company uses
petroleum lubricant in a lithium base. For best results, lubricate the bearings while turning the
fan wheel. Pump grease in slowly until a slight bead forms around the bearing seals. Excessive
grease can burst seals thus reducing bearing life.
2.
Rotate the wheel several revolutions every three to five days to keep a coating of grease on all
internal bearing parts.
If the unit is stored outdoors in addition to lubricating as described above the following must be done:
1.
Coat the shaft with grease or a rust preventative compound.
2.
Wrap bearings for weather protection.
3.
Cover the exhaust outlet to prevent the accumulation of dirt and moisture in the housing.
