INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Introduction
This bulletin has been prepared to guide the users of Axijet-V In-line Mixed Flow & Centrifugal Fans and
KVC In-line Centrifugal Fans in the proper installation, operation and maintenance procedures to insure
maximum equipment life with trouble-free operation.
Shipping and Receiving
All M.K. Plastics products are carefully constructed and inspected before shipment to insure the highest
standards of quality and performance. Compare all components with the bill of lading or packing list to
verify that the proper unit was received. Check each unit for any damage that may have occurred in
transit. Any damage should be reported immediately to the carrier and the necessary damage report filed.
Handling
Handling of all air moving equipment should be conducted by trained personnel and be consistent with
safe handling practices. Verify the lift capacity and operating condition of handling equipment. Maintain
handling equipment to avoid serious personal injury. Units shipped completely assembled may be lifted
with slings and spreader bars. Use well-padded chains, cables or nylon straps. On most units, lifting lugs
are fashioned to protect the fan and fan housing from damage (see Figure 1). Never lift a fan by the inlet
or discharge flange, shafting or drives, wheel, motor or motor base, or in any other manner that may bend
or distort parts. If installation is to be delayed, store the unit in a protected area. Protect the fan and motor
bearings from moisture and vibration (or shock loading). For extended storage, wrap entire unit in plastic.
Wrap loosely so air may circulate around the fan and moisture does not collect, or use a desiccant.
Extended storage requires monthly inspections. Check for corrosion or damage to the unit and for debris
within the fan. Rotate the fan wheel a few revolutions. Stop the wheel in a position other than the initial
position. Grease the bearings every month with a grease compatible with the grease supplied with the
bearings.
