MK Plastics Axijet IO&M - Manual (Page 2)

Installation
Mounting Instructions
MK Plastics can supply Axijet fans with two types of equipment supports (depending upon the application).
•
Standard fan rails and plenum curb.
•
Combined fan and plenum equipment support
For both types of equipment support, follow the instructions on the next few pages on how to mount the fans.
Storage
If the fan is stored for any length of time prior to installation, coat the bearings with grease or moisture inhibiting oil
(refer to Lubricants on page 11). Rotate the wheel several revolutions every three to five days to keep a coating of
grease on all internal bearing parts.
Outdoor Storage
To maintain good working condition of the fan when it is stored outdoors, follow the additional instructions below.
1. Cover the inlet and outlet to prevent the accumulation of dirt and moisture in the housing.
2. Periodically rotate the wheel and operate dampers (if supplied).
3. Periodically inspect the unit to prevent damaging conditions.

Similar handling precautions must be used for the inlet plenum. Never lift from the access door handle, outlet
drain, and any dampers that might be attached. Use rigging straps wrapped around the plenum from top to bot-
tom if necessary; larger size plenums will be supplied with lifting lugs or ready to be assembled on the job site. See
Fig. 2 – Plenum Lifting Lugs.
Personal Safety
Disconnect switches are recommended. Place the
disconnect switch 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.
