Receiving

Upon receiving the product check to make sure all items
are accounted for by referencing the bill of lading to
ensure all items were received. Inspect each crate for
shipping damage before accepting delivery. Notify the
carrier if any damage is noticed. The carrier will make
notification on the delivery receipt acknowledging any
damage to the product. All damage should be noted on
all the copies of the bill of lading which is countersigned
by the delivering carrier. A Carrier Inspection Report
should be filled out by the carrier upon arrival and
reported to the Traffic Department. If damaged upon
arrival, file a claim with carrier. Any physical damage
to the unit after acceptance is not the responsibility of
Greenheck Fan Corporation.

Unpacking

Verify that all required parts and the correct quantity
of each item have been received. If any items are
missing, report shortages to your local representative to
arrange for obtaining missing parts. Sometimes it is not
possible that all items for the unit be shipped together
due to availability of transportation and truck space.
Confirmation of shipment(s) must be limited to only items
on the bill of lading.

Handling

When lifting the unit onto the roof, use either the four
lifting points on the drive frame or the two lifting points
on the bearing plate if present, see figure 1 for lifting
points. Access to the drive frame is accomplished by
removing the screws pointed out in figure 2. The cover
can then be removed and placed on a flat surface in an
area protected from strong winds.

When the USGF unit is on the roof, move fan to
desired location using lifting points and fasten securely
according to mounting details shown in figure 9 on
page 5. Shims may be necessary depending upon
roofing material thickness.

The motor amperage and voltage ratings must be
checked for compatibility to supply voltage prior to final
electrical connection. Wiring must conform to local and
national codes. Consult local code authorities for specific
requirements.

Storage

Fans are protected against damage during shipment. If
the unit cannot be installed and operated immediately,
precautions need to be taken to prevent deterioration of
the unit during storage. The user assumes responsibility
of the fan and accessories while in storage. The
manufacturer will not be responsible for damage during
storage. These suggestions are provided solely as a
convenience to the user.

Indoor

The ideal environment for the storage of fans and
accessories is indoors, above grade, in a low humidity
atmosphere which is sealed to prevent the entry of
blowing dust, rain or snow. Temperatures should be
evenly maintained between 30° to 110°F (-1° to 43°C)
(wide temperature swings may cause condensation
and “sweating” of metal parts). All accessories must be
stored indoors in a clean, dry atmosphere.
Remove any accumulations of dirt, water, ice, or snow
and wipe dry before moving to indoor storage. Allow cold
parts to reach room temperature to avoid “sweating” of
metal parts. To dry parts and packages use a portable
electric heater to get rid of any moisture buildup. Leave
coverings loose to permit air circulation and to allow for
periodic inspection.
The unit should be stored at least 3½ inches (89 mm)
off the floor on wooden blocks covered with moisture
proof paper or polyethylene sheathing. Aisles between
parts and along all walls should be provided to permit air
circulation and space for inspection.

Outdoor

Fans designed for outdoor applications may be stored
outdoors if absolutely necessary. Roads or aisles for
portable cranes and hauling equipment are needed.
The fan should be placed on a level surface to prevent
water from leaking into the fan. The fan should be
elevated on an adequate number of wooden blocks so
that it is above water and snow levels and has enough
blocking to prevent it from settling into soft ground.
Locate parts far enough apart to permit air circulation,
sunlight and space for periodic inspection. To minimize
water accumulation, place all fan parts on blocking
supports so that rain water will run off.
Do not cover parts with plastic film or tarps as these
cause condensation of moisture from the air passing
through heating and cooling cycles.

CAUTION

Do not lift by the fan hood. Avoid lifting fans in a
way that will bend or distort fan parts. Never pass
slings or timbers through the venturi of fan. Fans
with special coatings or paints must be protected in
handling to prevent damage.
