Always observe the weight speci
fi
cations and the permissible carrying loads of the
means of transport.
•
Wear safety clothing / shoes and cut-resistant safety gloves when handling.
•
Transport the fan(s) either in the original packaging or, in the case of larger fans, on
the dedicated transportation
fi

transportation. Observe the weight data on the identi
fi
cation plate.
•
Do not transport the fan by the connecting cable!
•
Avoid shocks and impacts to the device during the transport.
•
Avoid extreme heat or cold (for the temperature range for storage and transport
please see the technical data).
•
Watch out for possible damage to the packaging or fan.
•
Fix pallets during transport.
•
Do not stack pallets.

Never stand underneath the suspended fan because defective transport equipment
could cause death.
•
Store the fan / motor in the original packaging in a dry area protected from the weather

Recommendation: Turn the impeller evenly by hand to avoid jamming and
damaging the bearing.
