DANGER
Connection of the duct work to the fan!
Fatalities or extremely serious injuries as a result of
explosion caused by sparks generated by abrasion of the
impeller due to warping of the fan.
→ Align the duct work to the fan before connecting the
duct work to the fan.
→ Where necessary, ensure fine precision of the
alignment by readjusting the fan to the duct work
(e.g. using shims).
→ Stabilise the duct work by installing suitable supporting
structures.
→ Never allow the weight of the duct work to be upheld by
the fan.
→ Never allow the fan to become deformed, warped or
twisted by mechanical means.
NOTICE!
Ensure as smooth and as unobstructed an inflow and
outflow of the fan as possible. Do not position pipe
bends and transition pieces directly at the fan
openings. Intermediate sections in the duct work
reduce the risk of stalling and vortexes.
