5.3 Disposal
For ebm-papst, environmental protection and resource preservation are
top priority corporate goals.
→ Only clean when not in motion. Interrupt the power supply,
secure against renewed switch-on. Secure against start-up,
prevent air flow.
ebm-papst operates an environmental management system which is
certified in accordance with ISO 14001 and rigorously implemented
around the world on the basis of German standards.
Right from the development stage, ecological design, technical safety
and health protection are fixed criteria.
; Dirt deposits on the motor housing can cause overheating of the motor.
; Soiling of the impeller can cause vibration that will shorten the service
life of the fan.
The following section contains recommendations for ecological disposal
of the product and its components.
; Severe vibration can destroy the fan.
; In such cases, switch off the fan immediately and clean it.
5.3.1 Country-specific legal requirements
; The preferred method of cleaning is dry cleaning, e.g. using
compressed air.
NOTE
Country-specific legal requirements
; Do not use aggressive cleaning agents!
Always observe the applicable country-specific legal
regulations with regard to the disposal of products or waste
occurring in the various phases of the life cycle. The
corresponding disposal standards are also to be heeded.
NOTE
Damage to the device during cleaning
Malfunction possible
→ Do not clean the device using a water jet or high-pressure
cleaner.
5.3.2 Disassembly
→ Do not use any acid, alkali or solvent-basedcleaning
agents.
Disassembly of the product must be performed or supervised by
qualified personnel with the appropriate technical knowledge.
The product is to be disassembled into suitable components for disposal
employing standard procedures for motors.
→ Do not use any pointed or sharp-edged objects for cleaning
; Completely remove any cleaning agents used.
WARNING
; If severe corrosion is visible on load-bearing or rotating parts, switch

off the device immediately and replace it.
; Repair of load-bearing or rotating parts is not permitted!
; Operate the fan for 2 hours at maximum speed so that any water that

has ingressed can evaporate.
→ Secure components before unfastening to stop them falling.
; If cleaning does not eliminate vibrations, the fan may need to be
rebalanced. To have it rebalanced, contact ebm-papst.
5.3.3 Component disposal
; The fan is equipped with maintenance-free ball bearings. The lifetime
lubrication of the ball bearings is designed for a service life of 40,000
hours.
The products are mostly made of steel, copper, aluminum and plastic.
Metallic materials are generally considered to be fully recyclable.
Separate the components for recycling into the following categories:
; If bearing replacement is necessary after that period, contact ebm-
