4.2 Storage

                             Storing the SMARTPACKTM devices
        WARNING              Injuries from slipping or falling.

• The SMARTPACKTM device must always be stored and handled such that they cannot tip over.
• Store the SMARTPACKTM device “lying flat”, in other words with the axis vertical and “„accessories““ side in the
  upper position.
• Secure the SMARTPACKTM device with a lashing strap, for example, so that nothing slips or tips over; this is espe-
  cially important if stacking multiple SMARTPACKTM device.
• Also take into consideration potential wind forces.
• Store the SMARTPACKTM device in the original packaging in a clean, dry and weatherproof place, free from vibra-
  tions.
• Protect the SMARTPACKTM device against environmental effects and dirt until the final installation.
• We recommend storing the SMARTPACKTM device for no longer than one year for trouble-free operation and
  longest possible service life.
• Even SMARTPACKTM devices explicitly intended for outdoor use are to be stored as described prior to commissioning.

The Purchaser assumes responsibility of the SMARTPACKTM device while in storage. E-Flow will not be responsible
for damage during storage. These suggestions are provided solely as a convenience to the user.

4.2.1 Indoor storage
• The ideal environment for the storage of SMARTPACKTM device is indoors, above ground, in a low humidity atmos-
  phere, which is sealed to prevent the entry of blowing dust, rain or snow. Wide temperature swings may cause
  condensation and “sweating” of metal parts.
• Remove any accumulation of dirt, water, ice or snow and wipe dry before moving to an indoor storage site. To
  avoid the “sweating” of metal parts allow cold parts to reach room temperature.
• The SMARTPACKTM device sshould be stored on the wooden pallet that was ued for delivery.
• Aisles between pallets and along all the walls should be provided to permit air circulation and space for inspection

4.2.2 Outdoor storage

• SMARTPACKTM devices designed for outdoor applications may be stored outdoors, if absolutely necessary.
• Roads or aisles for mobile cranes and hauling equipment are needed.
• The SMARTPACKTM device should be placed on a level surface to prevent water from leaking into the SMART-
  PACKTM devices. The SMARTPACKTM device should be elevated on the wooden pallet that was ued for deliveryas
  received or 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 SMARTPACKTM devices on
  blocking supports so that rain water will run off.
• Do not cover SMARTPACKTM devices with plastic film or tarpaulin as these cause condensation of moisture from
  the air passing through heating and cooling cycles.
• Fan propellers should be blocked to prevent spinning caused by strong winds.

4.3 Inspection and maintenance during storage

While in storage, inspect SMARTPACKTM devices once per month. Keep a record of inspection and maintenance
performed.
If moisture or dirt accumulation is found, the source should be located and eliminated. At each
inspection, rotate the impeller by hand ten to fifteen revolutions to distribute lubricant on the motor. A Mainte-
nance Check Sheet is provided in Attachment I.

4.4 Removing from storage

As SMARTPACKTM devices are removed from storage to be installed in their final location, they should be protected
and maintained in a similar fashion until the fan equipment goes into operation.

4.5 Connecting the mechanical system

• Remove skid, crates, and packing materials carefully.
• Move the SMARTPACKTM device to the final mounting
  position.
• Check the device for any damages.
