NTRODUCTION
The Directions for use and service manual for the
SHARK compact unit and base units (hereinafter
referred to as the Manual) contain important directions to
be observed throughout the machine’s operating life,
starting on receipt of the machine. The manual has been
compiled for complete SHARK series. It also applies to
separately delivered base units. Before installing and/or

weight are stated in the dimensional drawing of the
appropriate blower set, which is enclosed with the Manual.
Transport
Compact units must be transported in protected freight
space.
Blower sets must be transported with belts re-
moved! Otherwise, the shaft or bearings could be
damaged. During transport, the pendulous motor
frame must be secured by appropriate bolts in the
bottom position!
Receipt
On receipt, the delivery must be checked with the delivery
notes for completeness. Any potential damage caused
during transport must be recorded in the presence of the
carrier. The record signed by the carrier must be

Base unit
The picture shows the handling of a base unit. To handle
the blower, use soft binding ropes. Steel wire ropes can be
used provided they are padded in order to prevent damage
to the paint.
WARNING
On no account should the blower be lifted with
the ropes attached to the flanges!
Compact unit
To handle the compact unit, use a forklift truck and/or
crane. The following pictures show the ideal handling of
blower sets. To handle the compact unit with a crane, use
soft binding ropes. Steel wire ropes can be used provided
they are padded in order to prevent damage to the paint.
Further, you must avoid using too short binding ropes in
order to prevent deformation of the suction filter during
transport.
