1. Handling

1.1 Vertical transport

Four-point suspension is recom-
mended for hoisting.
Fans are lifted in the supports locat-
ed in the inlet side of the fan housing 
and in the motor bracket on the op-
posite side. 

2. Storage

Fans are supplied on pallets or skids 
which allow fork-lift transport. Fans 
can withstand outdoor storage for 
up to one month provided the pack-
aging is intact.
If the fans are stored indoors under 
well-ventilated conditions with no 
risk of condensation, the storage pe-
riod may be extended to six months. 
The storage place must not be ex-
posed to vibrations, which may 
damage the bearings.
If the storage period exceeds three 
months, it is recommended to turn 
the impeller regularly by hand.

3. Installation

3.1 Installation

Fans must be installed on a horizon-
tal, firm and level surface with an os-
cillation frequency that is at least 
20% higher than the highest fan ro-
tational frequency.
Fans are normally mounted on vi-
bration dampers screwed onto the 
surface. Vibration dampers are nor-
mally not supplied with the unit. 

Avoid subjecting the fan to mechan-
ical stress during installation – espe-
cially when installing the fan with-
out vibration dampers and with 
fixed connections.

3.2 Duct connections

Ducts are normally connected by 
means of flexible connections.
Prior to connecting the ducts, check 
that:
-

all movable parts can move free-
ly.

-

the distance between impeller 
and inlet cone is equally large 
everywhere.

-

fan and duct connections are 
clean and free of foreign objects.

Flexible connections must be loosely 
stretched, and duct connections 
must be centred in the fan inlet and 
outlet openings and supported to 
prevent them from 'hanging' in the 
flexible connections. 

3.3 Security

Electrical connections must be made 
by an authorised electrician. The fan
