Step 1: Turn Off the Power and Disconnect

Before you begin cleaning, always make sure the industrial fan is powered off and unplugged from the socket. Safety is a top priority when performing any maintenance, and this step prevents any accidental electrical mishaps. Gaowei Group recommends placing the fan in a stable position to ensure that it won’t tip over during cleaning. Once safely secured, you can proceed with the next steps.

 

Step 2: Cleaning the Blades and Body

The GHV-18SS is designed to provide strong, efficient airflow. Over time, dust and dirt can accumulate on the blades, which reduces the fan’s performance and airflow. To clean the blades, gently use a microfiber cloth or a soft brush to wipe them down. Avoid using abrasive materials that could damage the surfaces. You can also lightly vacuum the body of the fan to remove any accumulated dirt around the edges or base. When cleaning the body, remember to wipe the surface with a damp cloth—avoid soaking the unit to prevent water damage.

 

Step 3: Checking the Motor and Air Vents

The motor in the Gaowei Group GHV-18SS is built for robust and efficient operation, but it still requires periodic cleaning to maintain its performance. Use a small brush or compressed air to clear out any dust or debris that may have built up in the air vents or around the motor. These vents allow air to circulate properly, ensuring the fan operates efficiently. Regularly checking these areas ensures your floor industrial fan continues to run smoothly and quietly, minimizing the risk of overheating.

 

Step 4: Lubrication and Adjustments

While cleaning, it’s also a good time to check if any moving parts need lubrication. Periodic lubrication of the moving components can extend the fan’s operational life. If you notice any unusual noise or resistance when adjusting the fan, you may need to apply a small amount of lubrication to the appropriate joints. 

 

Step 5: Reassemble and Test the Fan

Once you’ve cleaned all the parts and ensured everything is dry and lubricated, it’s time to reassemble your floor industrial fan. Double-check the fan’s base, blades, and height adjustment mechanism. After reassembly, plug the fan back in and test it to ensure everything is working properly. If you notice any issues like unusual sounds or performance drops, it might be time to contact your industrial fan supplier, such as Gaowei Group, for a professional inspection.
