HVD 02/01 r.00 ©2021 Gigola & Riccardi Page 7of 58
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
Page 8of 58 ©2021 Gigola & Riccardi HVD 02/01 r.00
Residual risk Behaviour to eliminate or minimise the risk
Risk of machinery fall after manual
lifting

3.E. Contents of the manual
This document consists of 58 pages and, for ease of reference, has been divided into chapters
that make it easy to find the information required to correctly perform each phase of
machinery assembly (or its components).
The information it contains refers only to the phases of assembly of the HURRICANE by G&R
and is directed to the users so that:
-they can become aware of the structure and the elements that make up the machine;
-they can be aware of the problems that may arise during machinery assembly;
-they can set up specific information, training and instruction courses for those who
are responsible for the management and maintenance of the machinery:
the person responsible for the machine installation site;
machine users;
maintenance specialists;
maintenance engineers;
maintenance heads;
persons in charge of installation, disassembly and dismantling.
Given the above it is therefore necessary to read all the chapters of this manual carefully.

The configuration of some of the machine components as well as the position
of the safety devices installed in it - and described or depicted here - may be
subject to variations in virtue of the satisfaction of particular completions
linked to specific customer needs or safety regulations. In this case:
-
descriptions, references and procedures may be incomplete or
inexact and should therefore be understood as being of a “general
nature”.
-drawings and Picture may differ from the reality and therefore should
be taken for reference for easier understanding of the text.
3.F. Work clothing and personal protective equipment
Before taking any action, personnel in charge of performing the assembly of the machinery
must wear:
-suitable and accident prevention clothing, as indicated by the standard 89/686/EEC
as amended;
-P.P.E. in conformity with Leg. Decree 475/92 et seq., as indicated by Leg. Decree
81/08 and seq.
It is obvious that at the moment of their use the above must be integral and in good condition
and must be replaced immediately if there are clear signs of damage or deterioration.
When necessary, the use of P.P.E. is recalled in this assembly instructions by means of
pictograms inside informative boxes.
Even when the legal P.P.E. are worn, working on or with a machine is never
totally risk-free and therefore it is always necessary to work with sufficient
visibility both in the work areas and in the surroundings (even when this is not
deemed to be immediately dangerous). It is also advisable never to work
when tired, ill, injured, or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medicines
that are capable of altering a person’s mental and physical capacities.
3.G. Standard documentation supplied
This document is an integral part of the “standard document package” of the machine it refers
to when the latter is supplied to the final user, disassembled or partially disassembled ([Ref.
Par. 1.I] of the operation and maintenance manual for HURRICANE).
Please remember that all the standard documentation for the machinery supplied constitutes
an integral and inseparable part of the same (on penalty of termination of the guarantee).
In the case of transfer to third parties, the primary custodian of the machinery is obliged to
hand over all the machine standard documentation supplied, integral and in a good state of
conservation, (on penalty of the immediate cessation of the guarantee and the immediate
exclusion of the manufacturer from all objective and subjective, civil and criminal
responsibility with regard to the machinery).
Finally, in the event of transfer to third parties, the primary custodian of the machinery is
required and strongly requested to report the G&R the address of the new user so that the
manufacturer can send him/her notices and/or updates that are seemed indispensable.
3.H. Updates of the manual
The machine documentation complies with all the laws, directives and binding rules in force
as of 11 January 2021. Its contents reflect the state of the art at the moment of marketing of
the HURRICANE, of which it constitutes an integral and inseparable part [ Ref. Par. 1.I] of the
operation and maintenance manual for HURRICANE.
Any improvements or changes that may be made by the G&R to the aforesaid fan in the future,
inspired by:
-new experiences;
-new know-how acquired in the area of “ventilation techniques and technology”;
-strategic market decisions;
-any other reasons;
do not oblige the G&R to intervene on any previous supplies of HURRICANE, nor to consider
the machinery and/or associated manual to be not accurate or inadequate.
G&R reserves the right to make improvements, modifications and integrations both to the
machinery and to this operation and maintenance manual, without notifying those who are
already in possession of them, unless the change and/or modification lead to the elimination,
or the notable reduction, of one or more immediate and/or grave dangers regarding health
and safety) and, above all, without this constituting a justification for claims against G&R.

Any integrations to this document which the manufacturer deems appropriate to send to the
users, must be kept along with the assembly instructions already in their possession and
handled in the same way as them.
3.I. Important information
If it is necessary to replace deteriorated, faulty parts and/or ones damaged by use, time, lack
of care or anything else, it is compulsory to use original spare parts and accessories because,
the use of non-original spares not only causes the termination of the guarantee on the
machine, it can also be dangerous and/or shorten the life and reduce the performance of the
machine.
Should the pictograms, labels, or ID plate supplied by the manufacturer (and only by them
during production) go missing or be deteriorated/degrade to the point that they are no longer
understandable, even for only one of the informative elements they contain, new ones must be
obtained by explicitly requesting them from the G&R.
Please remember that all machinery components can be requested directly from the G&R,
quoting the data indicated on the label of the machinery or the fan information data in this
assembly instructions.
3.J. Manufacturer’s responsibility
The contents of these assembly instructions do not in any way replace the legislation governing
safety and accident-prevention in the workplace, but they reinforce and, if possible, enrich it.
The G&R cannot be deemed responsible in any way (civilly and/or criminally) in case of:
-non-compliance with the instructions provided in these assembly instructions;
-incorrect observance of the instructions provided in this manual;
-use of this document by uninformed, untrained and/or uninstructed personnel;
-company or contractor personal accidents due to:
internal safety shortcomings;
improper use of the equipment and machines required for machinery assembly

breaches of procedures for protecting individual and collective safety;
lack of supervision;
“catastrophic events” due to assembly of the machinery and directly caused by
a failure to observe the worker health and safety requirements:
“catastrophic events” linked to operations taking place on the site in which the
machinery is assembled and not involving the machinery in a direct or indirect
manner;
-injury to company personnel who have not read and fully understood this manual
contents;
-machinery assembly (or parts or it) performed by unauthorised and/or untrained and/or
unsuitable personnel;
-incorrect electric connections or power supply defects;
-unauthorised changes;
