Receiving

Upon receiving the product, check to ensure all 
items are accounted for by referencing the delivery 
receipt or packing list. Inspect each crate or carton 
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. If damaged, immediately contact your local 
representative. 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.

Handling

Fans are to be rigged and moved by the lifting 
brackets provided or by the skid when a forklift is 
used. Location of brackets varies by model and size. 
Handle in such a manner as to keep from scratching 
or chipping the coating. Damaged finish may reduce 
the ability of the fan to resist corrosion. Fans should 
never be lifted by the fan housing, motor, motor cover, 
windband or accessories.

Storage

•  Rotate propeller monthly and purge bearings once 

every three months.

•  Energize fan motor once every three months.

•  Store belts flat to keep them from warping and 

stretching.

•  Store unit in a location which does not have 

vibration.

•  After storage period, purge grease before putting 

fan into service.

If storage of fan is in a humid, dusty or corrosive 
atmosphere, rotate the fan and purge the bearings 
once a month. Improper storage which results in 
damage to the fan will void the warranty.

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.

INDOOR - 

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 remove any moisture 
buildup. 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 - 

Fans 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 fan. The fan should be 
elevated on an adequate number of wooden blocks 
so 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 fan parts on 
blocking supports so rain water will run off.

Do not cover parts with plastic film or tarps as these 
cause condensation of moisture from the air passing 
through heating and cooling cycles. 

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 and 
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.

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. Thoroughly
