COOK Laboratory Exhaust - Manual (Page 3)

1.0 General
This manual has been prepared as a guide for installing, operating and maintaining Loren Cook heating and
cooling equipment. Due to the fact that each piece of Loren Cook equipment is custom manufactured, it is
not possible to generate detailed manuals for each; therefore, this manual is generic in content and may or may
not include components that are unique to your equipment. This manual may be included as part of a
custom manual. If such is the case, you should consult the appropriate section relating to any questions you
may have. Otherwise, you should contact your Loren Cook sales representative or Loren Cook directly for any
specific information required.
1.1 Receiving the Equipment
Inspect the complete unit for shipping damage. If damage is present, you have the right to either accept or reject
the shipment. If the receiving contractor or the receiving agent for the contractor elects to receive the equipment
in a damaged condition it then becomes the contractor's responsibility to note the extent of the damage on the
delivering freight bill of lading in the presence of the delivering agent (driver) of the delivering freight carrier. It
then becomes the contractor's responsibility to file a freight claim with the delivering freight carrier in accordance
with the ICC regulations. It also then becomes the responsibility of the receiving contractor to work with the
delivering carrier to have the equipment repaired to the satisfaction of Loren Cook so the warranty may
remain valid. Loren Cook must also be notified of shipping damage.
1.2 Shipped Loose Parts
Check the packing list and inspect the equipment for the shipped loose parts. The packing list will note the
description and quantity of the loose parts included. The packing list will also note in what section of the unit
each shipped loose part is located. All air filters are shipped as loose parts.
1.3 Visual Inspection of Equipment
Visually, inspect the equipment exterior and interior for damage incurred during shipment. Any damage
discovered must be noted on the shipping documents prior to releasing the trucking company. Any damage not
noted will not be able to be claimed after the acceptance of delivery. The equipment type and arrangement
should also be verified that it is as ordered when it arrives at the job site. If a discrepancy is found, contact the
Loren Cook Sales Representative, or the Loren Cook factory immediately.
2.0 Storage
2.1 Short-Term Storage
Short-term storage is considered six (6) months or less from date of shipment. Storage maintenance during this
time period is usually, but not necessarily, limited to the following:
1. Make sure the equipment is received, unloaded and set in a level, supported position per guidelines
listed in the Rigging section.
2. Make sure all access doors are tightly closed and that all access openings into the unit are sealed, such as
air supply and air return openings, pipe chase openings, fresh air openings, exhaust air openings, electrical
connection openings and other access openings of the unit's cabinet that may permit entry of snow, ice, rain
water, dust, dirt, mud and other construction debris, or birds and rodents that may enter the interior of the
unit.
3. The unit must also be protected when setting on the ground level to prevent damage to the exterior of
the cabinet by construction vehicles and personnel.
