Information on surface quality
The surfaces of the products conform to the generally applicable industrial
standard. The surface quality may change during the production period.
This has no effect on strength, dimensional stability and dimensional
accuracy.
The color pigments in the paints used perceptibly react to UV light over
the course of time. The product is to be protected against UV radiation to
prevent the formation of patches and fading. Changes in color are not a
reason for complaint and are not covered by the warranty. UV radiation
in the frequency range and the intensity of natural solar radiation has no
effect on the technical properties of the products.

4. CONNECTION AND STARTUP
4.1 Mechanical connection
CAUTION
Cutting and crushing hazard when removing device
from packaging
Blades can bend
→ Carefully remove the device from its packaging, by the fan
housing. Strictly avoid shocks.
→ Wear safety shoes and cut-resistant safety gloves.
CAUTION
Heavy load when unpacking device
Risk of physical injury, such as back injuries.
→ Two people should work together to remove the device from
its packaging.
CAUTION
The blades of the impeller could be damaged.
→ Carefully set down the fan on a soft surface. Make sure the
blades are not subjected to load.
→ Following installation, make sure the impeller moves
easily and that the blades of the impeller are not deformed or
bent and do not catch at any point.
NOTE
Damage to the device from vibration
Bearing damage, shorter service life
→ The fan must not be subjected to force or excessive vibration
from sections of the installation.
→ If the fan is connected to air ducts, the connection should
be isolated from vibration, e.g. using compensators or similar
elements.
→ Ensure stress-free attachment of the fan to the
substructure.
