•
Store the fan / motor in the original packaging in a dry area protected from the weather and protect
it from dirt and weather until final installation.
•
Avoid prolonged storage; we recommend a maximum of one year (consult the manufacturer before
starting if stored for longer).
•
Inspect the bearing for proper operation prior to installation.
– Recommendation: Turn the impeller evenly by hand to avoid jamming and damaging the
bearing.
•
Transport the fan(s) either in the original packaging or, in the case of larger fans, on the dedicated
transportation fi xtures.
– axial fans: holes drilled in support arms, wall ring plates and motor block
– centrifugal fans depending on type: holes drilled in the housing flange, motor block, fastening
brackets and support plates,
•
Radial impellers, fans with scroll RG.., RD.. or built-in fans type ER../GR.., WR.. are generally
delivered on europallets, and can be transported using lift trucks.
•
Design RG.. / RD.. / ER.. / GR../ WR../HR.. : Fan unit may only be lifted and transported when
using a suitable hoisting device (load spreader). Ensure sufficient cable or chain length.
•
Design FV.. / DN.. : The fan must be fastened to 4 points during transport so the flanges do not
warp.
•
Design WR: maximum permissible number for lifting fan units mounted on top of one another
Size External dimensions [mm] Permissible number
1 607 x 607 5
2 760 x 760 4
3 912 x 912 3
Attention!
Lifting several fan units next to one another is prohibited!
3.4 Disposal / recycling
Disposal must be carried out professionally and in an environmentally friendly way in accordance with
the respective national legal stipulations.
" Separate the materials by type and in an environmentally friendly way.
" If necessary, commission a specialist company with the waste disposal.
4 Mounting
4.1 General notes
Attention!
•
Mounting is only to be undertaken by trained service personnel. The system manufacturer or the
machine builder and/or the user is responsible that the inherent installation and security information
are harmonized with the valid standard and guidelines (EN ISO12100 / 13857).
•
Check the fan for damage, e.g. cracks, dents or damage to the electric cables, before assembly.
Start-up is not allowed in the case of transport damage!
•
Wear safety clothing / shoes and cut-resistant safety gloves when handling.
•
At a weight greater than 25 kg for men / 10 kg for women, the fan should be lifted out by two persons
(according to REFA). The values may differ from country to country.
•
Lift the fan out of the packaging with a lifting gear (lifting beam). Attachment points are solely the
holes on the housing flange, motor bed, support plate, motor suspensions, fastening brackets and
any crane eyes of the fan (depending on the design of the fan).
•
The chain/rope may not touch the impeller and the possibly mounted frequency inverter when lifting
with the lifting beam, otherwise damage is possible.
•
The custom designs must suit the prevailing conditions.
•
Take into account easy access for cleaning and maintaining the fan.
•
Before installing the fan, make sure the safety distances are maintained compliant with EN ISO
13857 or in household equipment according to EN 60335.
