2 Safety
This chapter provides general safety information.
The individual chapters of the operating instructions also contain specific
safety information that is not provided in the “Safety” chapter. Safety
information should be observed:
•for your own safety.
•for the safety of others.
•to ensure machine safety.
When commercial vehicles are involved, a number of risks can arise due to
improper behavior. For this reason, always work very carefully and not
under time pressure.
2.1 Intended use
The product may be used only for the following purposes:
•For cooling commercial vehicles.
•For cleaning the fans of commercial vehicles
Only persons authorized by the manufacturer may make modifications,
alterations, and repairs.
As a general principle, unauthorized modifications, alterations, or improper
use exempt the manufacturer from liability for resulting damages.
2.2 Other regulations
In addition to these operating instructions, the respective national laws and
regulations as amended must be observed (e.g., protective clothing,
accident prevention regulations, and occupational health and environmental
rules).

2.3 Safety information
WARNING!
Modifications to the fan may result in serious injury or death!
Unauthorized modifications may impair the functioning and/or safety and
the service life of the fan. Unauthorized modifications to the fan terminate
the manufacturer’s warranty and liability. These modifications may result in
damage to the machine as well as to serious injury or death.
➢Absolutely no modifications may be made to the fan.
Wearing loose-fitting work clothes may result in serious injury or
death!
Loose-fitting clothes can become entangled in rotating parts.
➢Wear work and protective clothing stipulated by the employer's liability
insurance association.
Working on a machine while it is running may result in serious injury
or death!

CAUTION!
Failure to resolve malfunctions may result in accidents or damage!
Operation of a defective fan or fan component may lead to accidents or
damage.
➢Immediately stop the machine.
➢Shut down the machine.
➢Secure the machine.
➢Resolve the fault promptly or engage a vehicle shop.
Activation of the reversing function while persons are standing in
front of the vehicle may result in accidents!
The fan generates strong air currents when it is in the cleaning position.
Persons standing in front of the vehicle may be struck by flying dirt when
the reversing function is activated.
➢Nobody may be standing in front of the vehicle when the reversing
function is activated.
Activation of the reversing function in train stations may result in
accidents!
The fan generates strong air currents when it is in the cleaning position. In
closed spaces, this may generate dust and result in damage or accidents
due to flying parts.
➢Use the reversing function only in a safe location and only outside of
closed spaces.

NOTE
Reversing the fan while the vehicle is in the red temperature range
may result in property damage!
The cooling effect is interrupted when the reversing function is activated.
Reversing the fan while the vehicle is in the red temperature range causes
the engine to overheat.
➢Do not reverse the fan when it is in the red temperature range.
➢Park the vehicle and open the hood so that the vehicle can cool down.

5 Installing the Cleanfix®reversible fan
5.1 Mounting the Cleanfix®flange
1) Remove all dirt and rust from the fan drive mounting surface for the
flange.
2) Loosen any belts that drive the fan pulley.
➔This ensures a more accurate axial and radial circular runout
measurement.
3) Remove the label from the flange.
4) Clean the surface for the flange.
WARNING!
Using screws of the wrong length may cause property damage!
If the fastening screws are too short, the flange with the fan may come
loose during operation.
➢Use longer screws.
If the fastening screws are too long, the screws or the objects behind them
may be damaged.
➢Shorten screws to the correct length.
5) Attach the flange to the fan drive using the supplied or suitable screws.
Observe the vehicle manufacturer’s indicated torque values (see vehicle
manufacturer’s manual).
If necessary, insert the fan in the shroud before mounting the flange. If the
flange is mounted beforehand, there may not be sufficient space to install
the fan in the shroud.
