disclosures on L1 refer to the motor operating instructions.
7.2. Preparation to Installation
The place of installation must be suitable for the fan in terms of its
category, condition, ambient temperature and environmental media.
The base must be level and have sufficient load-bearing capacity.
1. Unpack centrifugal fan carefully.

structure.
2. loose fitted AVM to be regularly placed around centre of gravity and
definitely fixed. Check whether the AVM is evenly under load.
3. Ensure that the fan is earthed in accordance with regulations. The anti-
vibration mounts themselves do not ensure electrical transmission.
No forces or vibrations may be transferred from other plant parts to the
fan (flexible connection)!
The flexible connections (ATEX) at intake and/or discharge are installed,
