Pre-Installation Requirements
Long-Term Storage
While the unit is in storage:
•
Every two weeks, rotate the fan and motor shaft 30 revolutions by hand. Check for free rotation.
•
Every six months, check fan shaft bearings and grease lines. Add grease using a manual grease
gun following the lubrications recommendations in the
“Fan Bearing Lubrication” section on
page 86
.
Check the motor lubrication; remove and clean grease plugs and check for the presence of moisture
in the grease. If moisture is present, remove the motor and send it to an authorized repair shop for
bearing inspection/replacement. If no moisture if present, refer to the motor manufacturer’s
lubrication recommendation for proper lubrication.
Outdoor Storage Considerations
Outdoor storage is not recommended; however, when outdoor storage is necessary, several things
must be done to prevent damage:
Note:
Keep the equipment in the original shipping container for protection and ease of handling.
1.
Remove any shrink-wrap material within 48 hours of receiving the unit.
2. Select a well-drained area, preferably a concrete pad or blacktop surface.
3. Place the unit on a dry surface or raised off the ground to assure adequate air circulation
beneath the unit and to assure no portion of the unit will contact standing water at any time.
4. Loosen the belt tension on the drive belts.
5. Cover the unit securely with a canvas tarp.
NOTICE
Corrosion!
Use only canvas tarps to cover air handlers. Plastic tarps can cause condensation to form in and
on the equipment, which may result in corrosion damage or wet storage stains.
6. Allow proper clearance around the unit to perform periodic inspection and maintenance of the
equipment while in storage (see
Figure 1
and
Table 1 on page 13
).
7.
Do not stack units.
8. Do not pile other material on the unit.
