10 .3 Correct fastening of panels and components, paying particular attention to the correct fastening of the fan guard grille .
10 .4 Verification of spaces for maintenance.
10 .5 Correspondence of the supply voltage to the plate data .
10 .6 Freedom of movement of the blades of the fans.
10 .7 Absence of fluid leaks. Risk of environmental damage.
10 .8 Removal of the protective film from the casing.
10 .9 Checking of the cleanliness of the installation area .

subject to the greatest wear (motor fans, switches) are functioning correctly; if worn or obsolete, replace them with new
equivalent components .
12 .5 It is recommended to check, at least once every six months, that all electrical and mechanical parts and circuits affected
by the fluids are in good working order; check the integrity and fastening of the fan protection grille.
12 .6 It is advisable to check, at least once every six months, that the screws are properly tightened (Ref. EN 1090-2).
12 .7 If a fan is OFF for a long period, it should be switched ON for at least 2 hours every month to remove any trace of moisture
inside the motor .
