8.0 Servicing and maintenance
WARNING!
Touching live parts will lead to electric shock.
Before any servicing and maintenance work, isolate the fan from the mains power supply and protect against
being switching on again!
WARNING!
The rotating impeller can crush fingers.
Before any servicing and maintenance work, isolate the fan from the mains power supply and protect against
being switching on again!
– Excessive deposits of dirt, dust, grease, etc. on the impeller, motor, protection guard and, above all, between the
housing and the impeller, are not permitted, as these can lead to an unbalance in the impeller, overheating of the
motor or the blocking of the impeller. In such cases, the unit must be cleaned
– In cases of longer periods of standstill, maintenance must be carried out when the unit is restarted.
– In case of standstill or storage for more than 2 years, the motors must be replaced.
The following must be checked:
• Secure attachment of the fan to the subsurface / system, replace in case of doubt
• Remove contaminant deposits
• Mechanical damage, disconnect unit, replace damaged parts
• Tight fit of screw connections, do not loosen screws in the process!
• Casing quality (cracks, brittleness of the plastic)
• Free movement of the impeller, impeller does not move freely, see Fault causes 8.1
Wear protective gloves when checking unhindered running of impeller!
• Bearing noises
• Vibrations – see Fault causes 8.1
• Current consumption according to type plate – see Fault causes 8.1

8.2
Standstill and disposal
WARNING
When dismantling, live parts can be exposed, which can result in electric shock if touched. Before dismant-
ling, isolate the unit from the mains power supply and protect against being switching on again!
Parts and components of the fan, whose service life has expired, e.g. due to wear and tear, corrosion, mechanical load,
fatigue and/or other effects that cannot be directly discerned, must be disposed of expertly and properly after disas-
sembly in accordance with the national and international laws and regulations. The same also applies to auxiliary mate-
rials in use. Such as oils and greases or other substances. The intended and unintended further use of worn parts, e.g.
impellers, rolling bearings, filters, etc. can result in danger to persons, the environment as well as machines and
systems. The corresponding operator guidelines applicable on-site must be observed and used.
