Use According To Intended Purpose; Area Of Application - S&P CE ATEX Mode D'emploi

• Check the condition of the fan on a monthly basis to avoid corrosion problems,
especially in the possible contact areas between moving and xed parts.
• Frequent checks are required on the bearings and ensuring they have enough
grease. It is good practice to rotate the propeller or impeller to avoid damage
to the bearings due to the weight of these components.
• It is advisable to seal the suction and discharge mouth of the fan in order to
prevent the entry of foreign bodies.
• Avoid storage for long periods of time. We do not recommend storing the equi-
pment for more than one year, and we advise consulting the manufacturer
before starting up for periods longer than this.
