recommendations
Contractor is responsible for providing temporary bracing and supports for all equipment until installation of all
components is completed.
Attachment hardware is not included with the unit.
Bolt the lower support bracket directly to the flange of the mating component(filter house, silencer or duct).
The louver ships in two halves, rest one side of the louver on the center support and bolt the hinge directly to
the mating flange face. The hinges include slots to adjust the gap between louvers. Repeat for other half.
With the louvers in the proper position, tighten all bolts and attach the top and bottom brackets to the flange
face.
Ensure that the unit is firmly mounted immediately prior to startup of the equipment, and again 24 hours after
startup to verify that supports and/or flange bolts have not vibrated loose from the foundation or structure.
Inspection and maintenance
Spare parts are not required.
Periodically inspect paint finish for damage or deterioration. NOTE: Minor localized damage may be touched
up using touch-up paint. Areas with extensive damage or deterioration may require spot blasting and
recoating. Consult
paint manufacturers recommendations.
Examine connecting flanges and hinge bolting at least annually. Retighten loose nuts as required.
