RECEIVING
Receiving Inspection
When unit is received, inspect immediately for damaged or missing parts. Even though all units are
carefully inspected and prepared for shipment at the factory, rough handling en route may cause concealed
damage or cause nuts, set screws, bolts or locking collars to work loose. Be certain all fasteners are tightened
securely. Rotate wheel by hand to verify that it rotates freely and that there are no obstructions.
Inspect all shipments carefully for damage. THE RECEIVER MUST NOTE ANY DAMAGE ON
THE CARRIER’S BILL OF LADING AND FILE A CLAIM IMMEDIATELY WITH THE FREIGHT
COMPANY IN THE CASE OF ANY DAMAGE. Keep a record of all equipment received, including
inspection details and date of receipt because of the possibility of partial shipments.
HANDLING
Handle your equipment with care. Some fans are provided with lifting lugs or holes for easy
handling. Others must be handled using nylon straps or well-padded chains and cables which protect the
fan’s coating and housing. Spreader bars should be used when lifting large parts.
Centrifugal fans are best lifted using one strap under the fan’s scroll and another strap around the
bearing base. DO NOT LIFT CENTRIFUGAL FANS BY THE FAN SHAFT, WHEEL, FLANGES, INLET
SUPPORT OR MOTOR EYE BOLT.
