COOK Propeller Inline - Manual

Tube Axial Fans
INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Storage
If the fan is stored for any length of time prior to installation,
rotate the propeller several revolutions every three to five
days. This keeps a coating of grease on all internal bearing
parts. Block propeller to prevent natural rotation and store it
in its original shipping crate and protect it from dust, debris
and the weather.
Outdoor Storage
To maintain good working condition of the fan when it is
stored outdoors or at a construction site, follow the addi-
tional instructions below.
• Coat the shaft and bearings with grease or rust preventa-
tive compound to help seal out moisture.
• Periodically rotate the propeller and dampers (if sup-
plied) to keep a coating of grease on all internal bearing
parts.
• Periodically inspect the fan to prevent damaging condi-
tions.
• Block propeller to prevent natural rotation.
• Cover the unit with some type of weather cover to pre-
vent moisture, corrosion, dirt or dust accumulation.
Installation
Motor Installation
To prevent damage to the fan during shipping, motors 5
HP and larger, and extremely heavy motors (cast iron or
severe duty) are shipped loose and must be field mounted
by bolting the motor on the motor mounting plate in the
existing mounting slots.
