Transportation, handling, and installation can cause fasteners to loosen, and cause misalignment
of fan components. Carefully follow this check list when commissioning equipment.
1.2 Lock out the primary and all secondary power sources.
1.3 A complete inspection should be made of all the ductwork and the interior of the fan. Make
certain there is no foreign material which can be drawn into or blown through the fan or ductwork
