4. Fan service and repair
4.1 Warranty
The warranty is valid for one (1) year from the despatch
date from the factory unless otherwise agreed prior to
placing the order. The warranty is only applicable to
manufacturing defects. A precondition of warranty is that
regular maintenance has been carried out. Defects
under warranty must be reported immediately to the
manufacturer or importer. The warranty does not cover
bearing damages caused by over-tensioning of the belt.
The warranty does not cover work or indirect damages.
4.2 Maintenance plan
To guarantee smooth operation, the fan must be serviced
regularly. The need for servicing depends on operating
conditions. If the air contains a lot of impurities, the service
intervals will have to be shorter. As a general rule, the
fan must be inspected at least twice a year. For the most
important maintenance measures, see the following
sections.
4.3 Before maintenance
– Switch off the fan by the operating switch in the
control center.
– Also remove the fuses, when required.
– Before starting the fan service and repair, the power
feed must be cut off with the safety switch, which
should be locked out for the duration of the service work.
– Note! Small motors which are protected by an
automatic heat switch in the main circuit can start
running automatically.
– The safety switch must not be used as operating switch.
– Motor may be stopped with the safety switch only in
an emergency situation.
