corrosion preventive coatings should be re-
moved.
Check the following before parts shall be as-
sembled:
Drainage hole at the blade tip and blade
shoulder shall be open
Make sure the drive shaft is properly cen-
tred with respect to the fan casing. Also
check if the shaft is vertical within the pre-
scribed tolerance.

end before mounting the impeller. The im-
peller should not be mounted if the con-
centricity error exceeds 0.02 mm (0.0008”)
