2. Warnings and general precautions
Before beginning installation of the machinery, check the that the environmental conditions of
the locations for assembly are compatible with the physical activities that must be performed
(therefore, not too hot/cold, humid/dry, sunny/shady, or light/dark) and that the minimum safety
distances for the operational area for the activities, that is the work space for the assembly
specialists, are:
-such that the operators are always out of the working range of the machinery and
equipment present;
-suitable to guarantee rapid evacuation if needed;
-sufficient to ensure that other operations in the same area are not hindered/blocked.
Recalling that intrinsically safe assemblies do not exist, nor do users who, by respecting the
assembly procedures with attention, can always avoid the conversion of potential risk into real
risk, we invite the persons who assemble the machinery to NOT underestimate the risks related
to the operations to be performed, nor the risk that derives there from.Specifically, remember
that distractions, poor concentration and oversights at work, with regard to either the safety
warnings or compliance with the instructions contained in this document, can be (and often are)
the cause of fires and/or serious injuries.
2.A. Accident prevention warnings
In general:
-ALWAYS follow the assembly procedures provided in this document;
-Unless otherwise indicated, NEVER modify the characteristics of the machine
components;
-NEVER test the machinery’s correct operation prior to the full assembly of all parts (for
the safety warnings and information regarding the first start-up, please refer to the
information provided in the operation and maintenance manual for the machinery);
-If any of the machinery parts should break during assembly, ALWAYS replace with
original spare parts of the G&R; NEVER perform makeshift repairs and/or operations to
restore the damaged or faulty parts;
-NEVER place/abandon tools, equipment, materials or other bulky objects on the
assembled parts of the machinery, on its auxiliary parts and/or in the vicinity of parts
that must be handled.
Specifically:
-Scrupulously follow the accident safety and prevention regulations (therefore, prior to
beginning to assemble the machinery, consult the company’s H&S Manager);
-NEVER delegate assembly of the machinery to specialists:
oless than 18 years old;
owith reduced physical capacities;
owith reduced sensorial or mental capacities;
owith a lack of experience or knowledge;
-ALWAYS wear the recommended P.P.E.
2.B. Notes on the residual risks
The residual risks relating to the assembly of a machine are the risks of injury associated with
its assembly that remain despite the careful design of the machine components and despite the
adoption of procedural/operational prevention and protection measures.
Even though the design stage of the machine that is the subject of this manual was accompanied
by an accurate and attentive analysis of the risks to which both users and those who have
anything to do with the machinery itself could be exposed (Ref. EN ISO 12100) and, though this
analysis rendered the fan safe and reliable, because of factors linked to the type of components
and to the operating conditions, risks remain (residual risks) that it is not possible to foresee
beforehand and which thus cannot be eliminated completely. In addition to this, there are also
residual risks due to incorrect behaviour of the assembly specialists and/or events of force
majeure. The following table indicates the most severe residual risks.

Hurricane series – Assembly instructions

Risk of falls for the user and/or
machine technical personnel DO NOT climb onto the machinery and/or hang from it.
Risk of falling and/or overturning
parts or assemblies from the
assembly seat of the machinery
Check that the place of assembly is sufficiently large, stable,
solid and capable of resisting to the static forces induced by
the mass of the component during assembly.
Various types of risk related to
assembly of the machinery
