Storage
If the fan is stored for any length of time prior to installation, store it in its original shipping crate and protect it from dust, debris
and the weather. Rotate the wheel several revolutions every three to five days to keep a coating of grease on all internal bearing
parts.
Outdoor Storage
To maintain good working condition of the fan when it is stored outdoors, follow the additional instructions below.
1. Cover the outlet to prevent the accumulation of dirt and moisture in the housing.
2. Periodically rotate the wheel and operate dampers (if supplied).
3. Periodically inspect the unit to prevent damaging conditions.
Personal Safety
Disconnect switches are recommended. Place the disconnect
switch near the fan in order that the power can be swiftly cut
off in case of an emergency, and in order that maintenance
personnel are provided complete control of the power source.
Handling
All RBK fans come with two lifting lugs on the bearing plate for belt drive units, and two lifting lugs (eye bolts) on the fan base for
direct drive units. Always use a spreader bar to ensure any straps do not come into contact with the unit. To get access to the
lifting lugs, the RBK weather cover must be removed by slackening off the attachment bolts and sliding the cover off.
