COOK FCP - Manual

Storage
If the fan is stored for any length of time prior to
installation, completely fill the bearings with grease or
moisture-inhibiting oil (refer to Lubricants on page 6).
Rotate the wheel several revolutions every three to five
days to keep a coating of grease on all internal bearing
parts.
Store the fan in its original crate and protect it from dust,
debris and the weather.
To maintain good working condition of the fan when it is
stored outdoors, follow the additional instructions below.
• Coat the shaft with grease or a rust preventative
compound.
• Wrap bearings for weather protection.
• Cover the inlet and outlet to prevent the accumulation of
dirt and moisture in the housing.
• Periodically rotate the wheel and operate dampers (if
supplied).
• Periodically inspect the unit to prevent damaging
conditions.
Installation
Motor Installation
Most motors are shipped mounted on the fans with belts
and drives installed. However, extremely heavy motors and
drives are shipped separately. These motors and drives will
require field installation.
Foundation
This fan requires a strong, level foundation of reinforced
poured concrete. A correctly designed concrete foundation
provides the best means for mounting floor units. The
foundation’s size is determined by fan size and
arrangement, motor size and position, and the specific
location of the installation.

does not bind.
• Inspect dampers (if supplied) for free operation of all
moving parts.
• Record on the delivery receipt any visible sign of
damage.
Handling
Lift the fan by the base or lifting eyes. NOTICE! Never lift
by the shaft, motor, or housing.
Rotating Parts & Electrical Shock Hazard:
Disconnect electric power before working on unit.
Follow proper lockout / tagout procedures to ensure
the unit cannot be energized while being installed or
serviced.
A disconnect switch should be placed near the fan in
order that the power can be swiftly cut off, in case of
an emergency and in order that maintenance
personnel are provided complete control of the power
source.
Grounding is required. All field-installed wiring must
be completed by qualified personnel. All field-
installed wiring must comply with National Electric
Code (NFPA 70) and all applicable local codes.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in
death or serious injury.
