RECEIVING AND INSPECTION
Immediately upon receipt of a shipment, carefully
inspect for damage and shortage. Turn the impeller by
hand to see that it turns freely and does not bind. If any
damage and/or shortage is detected or suspected, the
carrier must be asked to conduct an inspection. The
consignee’s representative should not accept a
shipment without a notation on the delivery receipt
indicating items not delivered or the apparent extent of
damage.
When a shipment is opened and damage is found which
was not evident externally (concealed damage), it is
mandatory that the consignee request an immediate
inspection by the carrier. Report any damage to the
carrier within 15 days. Failure to report damage within
the above time limit will result in rejection of a claim.
HANDLING
When handling fans and their accessories, always use
equipment and methods that will not cause damage.
Fans should be lifted using slings and padding or
spreaders to avoid damage.
CAUTION! Always make sure that all lifting and
handling equipment and techniques conform to current
safety standards.
Avoid lifting fans in a way that will bend or distort fan
parts. Never pass slings or timbers through the orifices
of fan.
CAUTION! Do not lift by the fan hood. Fans with
special coatings or paints must be protected in handling
to prevent damage.
STORAGE
Fans are protected against damage during shipment. If
they cannot be installed and put into operation
immediately upon receipt certain precautions are
necessary to prevent deterioration during storage.
Responsibility for integrity of fans and accessories
during storage must be assumed by the user. The
manufacturer will not be responsible for damage during
storage. These suggestions are provided solely as a
convenience to the user, who shall make his own
decision as to whether to use any or all of them.
INDOOR: The ideal storage environment for fans and
accessories is indoors, above grade, in a low humidity
atmosphere which is sealed to prevent the entry of
blowing dust, rain, or snow. Temperatures should be
evenly maintained at between 70°F and 105°F (wide
temperature swings may cause condensation and
"sweating" of metal parts). Windows should be covered
to prevent temperature variations caused by sunlight.
Provide thermometers and humidity indicators at several
points and maintain the atmosphere at 40% relative
humidity, or lower.
It may be necessary to use trays of renewable desiccant
or portable dehumidifier to remove moisture from the air
in the storage enclosure.
Thermostatically controlled portable heaters (vented to
outdoors) may be required to maintain even
temperatures inside the enclosure.
CAUTION! Provide fire extinguishers, or fire alarms, or
emergency response communication to protect building
and equipment against fire damage. Be sure that
building and storage practices meet all local, state and
federal fire and safety codes.
The following fans or accessories must be stored
indoors, in a clean dry atmosphere:
a. Propeller wall fans not in wall housings.
b. Any fan protected by a cardboard carton.
c. Motors dismounted from fans.
d. Spare wheels or propellers.
e. Belts, sheaves, bushings and other parts when
not mounted on fan.
f. Boxes, bags or cartons of hardware.
g. Curbs
h. Dampers
Remove any accumulations of dirt, water, ice or snow
and wipe dry before moving indoor storage. Allow cold
parts to reach room temperature to avoid “sweating” of
metal parts. Open boxes or cartons. Remove any
accumulated moisture; if necessary use portable electric
heaters to dry parts and packages. Leave coverings
loose to permit air circulation and to permit periodic
inspection.
Rotate wheels or propellers by hand to distribute
bearing grease over the entire bearing surfaces.
Store at least 3 ½” off the floor on wooden blocks
covered with moisture proof paper or polyethylene
sheathing. Provide aisles between parts and along all
walls, to permit air circulation and space for inspection.
OUTDOOR: Fans designed for outdoor use may be
stored outdoors, if absolutely necessary. The storage
