5.1 Cleaning
To ensure a long service life, check the fans regularly for proper
operation and soiling. The frequency of checking is to be adapted
accordingly depending on the degree of soiling.
;
Dirt deposits on the motor housing can cause overheating of the motor.
;
Soiling of the impeller can cause vibration that will shorten the service
life of the fan.
;
Severe vibration can destroy the fan.
;
In such cases, switch off the fan immediately and clean it.
;
The preferred method of cleaning is dry cleaning, e.g. using
compressed air.
;
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents!
NOTE
Damage to the device during cleaning
Malfunction possible
→ Do not clean the device using a high-pressure cleaner.# Do
not use acid, alkali or solvent-based cleaning agents.
→ Do not use any pointed or sharp-edged objects for
cleaning.
;
Completely remove any cleaning agents used.
;
If severe corrosion is visible on load-bearing or rotating parts, switch
off the device immediately and replace it.
;
Repair of load-bearing or rotating parts is not permitted!
;
Operate the fan for 2 hours at maximum speed so that any water that
has ingressed can evaporate.
;
If cleaning does not eliminate vibrations, the fan may need to be
rebalanced. To have it rebalanced, contact ebm-papst.
;
The fan is equipped with maintenance-free ball bearings. The lifetime
lubrication of the ball bearings is designed for a service life of 40,000
hours.
;
If bearing replacement is necessary after that period, contact ebm-
papst.
;
Adapt the maintenance intervals to the actual level of dust exposure.
