damage. Ensure that the impeller is free to rotate.
2.2 If there are any queries concerning the fan unit, Hydor should be
contacted prior to installation.
2.3 The fan unit should be securely mounted in the required position to suit
the application.
2.4 Check the details on the motor rating plate to ensure that the correct
power supply [voltage, frequency and phase] and starters are available.
Particularly if the motors are to be controlled by an inverter speed control.
An incorrect power supply will lead to permanent damage to the motor.
2.5 Means for electrical disconnection must be incorporated in the installation
in accordance with the relevant the wiring and electrical regulations.

correct.
3.3 Check that the motor amperage drawn does not exceed the nameplate
rating at full speed.

4.1 Inspection of the fan unit at least every 6 months is recommended to
ensure that the motor and fan blades are clean. Any build-up of dust
deposits should be removed using a non-abrasive cleaner.
4.2 All fastenings should be checked for tightness. In addition, all rotating
items should be checked.
