COOK TCN - Manual

Storage
If the fan is stored for any length of time prior to installa-
tion, completely fill the bearings with grease or moisture-
inhibiting oil. Refer to Lubricants on page 6. Also, store the
fan in its original crate and protect it from dust, debris and
the weather.
Outdoor Storage
To maintain good working condition of a TCN when it is
stored outdoors, or on a construction site, follow the addi-
tional steps below.
• Cover the inlet and outlet, and belt tunnel opening to
prevent the accumulation of dirt and moisture in the
housing.
• Periodically rotate the wheel and operate dampers (if
supplied) to keep a coating of grease on all internal
bearing parts.
• Periodically inspect the unit to prevent damaging condi-
tions.
Installation
To prevent damage to the fan during shipping, motors 5
HP and larger, and extremely heavy motors (cast iron or
severe duty) are shipped loose and must be field mounted
by bolting the motor on the motor mounting plate in the
existing mounting slots.
NOTICE! Extreme vibration is a serious problem that
may cause structural and mechanical failure. To help
vibration and noise from being transferred to the build-
ing, isolators are recommended.

A disconnect switch should be placed 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.
