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. Alert
the carrier of any damage detected. The customer will
make a notation of damage (or shortage of items) on
the delivery receipt and all copies of the bill of lading
which is countersigned by the delivering carrier. Any
physical damage to the unit after acceptance is not
the responsibility of Manufacturer.
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.
Storage
Fans 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 fan 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.
The ideal environment for the storage of fans 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° to 110°F
(-1° to 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 to get rid of any
moisture buildup. Leave coverings loose to permit air
circulation and to allow for periodic inspection.
The unit should be stored at least 3½ in.
(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.
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.
Removing From Storage
As fans are removed from storage to be installed
in their final location, they should be protected and
maintained in a similar fashion until the fan equipment
goes into operation.
