Jet Fan
Receiving
Upon receiving the product, check the bill of lading to
ensure all items were received. Inspect each crate for
shipping damage before accepting delivery. Notify the
carrier if any damage is noticed. The carrier will make
notification on the delivery receipt acknowledging any
damage to the product. All damage should be noted on
all the copies of the bill of lading which is countersigned
by the delivering carrier. A Carrier Inspection Report
should be filled out by the carrier upon arrival. If damaged
upon arrival, file claim with carrier. Any physical damage
to the unit after acceptance is not the responsibility of
Greenheck India Pvt. Ltd.
Unpacking
Verify that all required parts and the correct quantity
of each item have been received. If any items are
missing, report shortages to your local representative to
arrange for obtaining missing parts. Sometimes it is not
possible that all items for the unit be shipped together
due to availability of transportation and truck space.
Confirmation of shipment(s) must be limited to only
items on the bill of lading.
Handling and Lifting
Handle in such a manner as to keep from scratching or
chipping the finish. Damaged finish may reduce ability
of unit to resist corrosion. Fans should not be lifted
by the motor shaft, motor housing, fan impeller or fan
accessories, to ensure proper operation, reliability and
performance.
Fan model GJ is to be lifted using a minimum of four (4)
points on the fan housing or attach two suitable chains/
straps around the entire fan housing, one near each duct
flange. For flange mounted fans, attach suitably sized
chains or lifting straps to two locations on the inlet and
outlet flanges. The two chains/straps must be lifted at
the same rate of speed.
NOTE
Do not attach straps or lift the fan by the silencer.
Storage
Units are protected against damage during shipment. If
the unit cannot be installed and operated immediately,
precautions need to be taken to prevent deterioration of
the unit during storage. The user assumes responsibility
of the unit and accessories while in storage. The
manufacturer will not be responsible for damage during
storage. These suggestions are provided solely as a
convenience to the user.
INDOOR
— The ideal environment for the storage of
units and accessories is indoors, above grade, in a low
humidity atmosphere which is sealed to prevent the entry
of blowing dust, rain, or snow. Temperatures should be
evenly maintained between 30°F
(-1°C)
and 110°F
(43°C)
(wide temperature swings may cause condensation and
“sweating” of metal parts). All accessories must be
stored indoors in a clean, dry atmosphere.
Remove any accumulations of dirt, water, ice, or snow
and wipe dry before moving to indoor storage. To avoid
“sweating” of metal parts, allow cold parts to reach
room temperature. To dry parts and packages, use a
portable electric heater. Leave coverings loose to permit
air circulation and to allow for periodic inspection.
The unit should be stored at least 3½ inches
(89 mm)
off the floor on wooden blocks covered with moisture
proof paper or polyethylene sheathing. Aisles between
parts and along all walls should be provided to permit
air circulation and space for inspection.
OUTDOOR
— Units designed for outdoor applications
may be stored outdoors, if absolutely necessary. Roads
or aisles for portable cranes and hauling equipment are
needed.
The fan should be placed on a level surface to prevent
water from leaking into the unit. The unit should be
elevated on an adequate number of wooden blocks so
that it is above water and snow levels and has enough
blocking to prevent it from settling into soft ground.
Locate parts far enough apart to permit air circulation,
sunlight, and space for periodic inspection. To minimize
water accumulation, place all unit parts on blocking
supports so that rain water will run off.
Do not wrap parts with plastic film or tarps as these
cause condensation of moisture from the air passing
through heating and cooling cycles. A covered shelter
is preferred.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE DURING
STORAGE
—
While in storage, inspect fans once per month. Keep a
record of inspection and maintenance performed.
If moisture or dirt accumulations are found on parts,
the source should be located and eliminated. At each
inspection, rotate the fan propeller by hand ten to fifteen
revolutions to distribute lubricant in motor bearings.
Every three months, the fan motor should be energized.
If paint deterioration begins, consideration should
be given to touch-up or repainting. Fans with special
coatings may require special techniques for touch-up or
repair. Consult factory for details.
Machined parts coated with rust preventive should be
restored to good condition promptly if signs of rust occur.
Immediately remove the original rust preventive coating
with petroleum solvent and clean with lint-free cloths.
Polish any remaining rust from surface with crocus
cloth or fine emery paper and oil. Do not destroy the
continuity of the surfaces. Wipe thoroughly clean with
Tectyl® 506 (Ashland Inc.) or the equivalent. For hard to
reach internal surfaces or for occasional use, consider
using Tectyl® 511M Rust Preventive or WD-40
®
or the
equivalent.
