Special Tools Required
AC Voltage Meter Tachometer Amperage Meter Standard Hand Tools

Start Up Procedure
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Check all electrical connections for tightness and continuity. Check pulley alignment and belt tension as described below for belt drive fans. Inspect the condition of the damper and damper linkage, if provided. Inspect the air-stream for obstructions or debris in wheel. Compare the supplied voltage with the fans nameplate voltage. If this does not match, correct the problem. Start the fan up, by turning the external disconnect to the ON position, and shut it OFF immediately to check rotation of the wheel with the directional arrow on the blower scroll. Reversed rotation will result in poor air performance, motor overloading and possible burnout. For units equipped with a single-phase motor check the motor wiring diagram to change rotation. For 3-phase motors, any two power leads can be interchanged to reverse motor direction. When the fan is started up, observe the operation and check for any unusual noises. Switch the external disconnect back to the ON position and with the air system in full operation and all ducts attached, measure the system airflow. Motor sheave (pulley) is variable pitch, and allows for an increase or decrease of the fan RPM to adjust the airflow, as shown in the illustration below. For your convenience, a RPM chart is included in the following pages. If the fan is a direct drive version, it may have a speed control to adjust speed. Once the proper airflow is achieved, measure and record the fan speed with a reliable tachometer. Caution - Excessive speed will result in motor overloading or bearing failure. Do not set fan RPMs higher than specified in the maximum RPM chart. See the troubleshooting guide for more information. Measure and record the voltage and amperage to the motor and compare with the motor nameplate to determine if the motor is operating under safe load condition. Once the rpm of the ventilator has been properly set, disconnect power and recheck belt tension and pulley alignment as described below.

MAINTENANCE
To guarantee trouble free operation of this fan, the manufacturer suggests following these guidelines. Most problems associated with fan failures are directly related to poor service and maintenance. Please record any maintenance or service performed on this fan in the documentation section located at the end of this manual.

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT MAINTENANCE ON THE FAN UNTIL THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY HAS BEEN COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED

General Maintenance
1. 2. Fan discharge and approaches to ventilator should be kept clean and free from any obstruction. Motors are normally permanently lubricated. Check bearings periodically. If they have grease fittings lubricate each season. Use caution when lubricating bearings, wipe the fittings clean, the unit should be rotated by hand while lubricating. Caution: Use care when touching the exterior of an operating motor. Motors normally run hot and may be hot enough to be painful or cause injury. All fasteners should be checked for tightness each time maintenance checks are preformed prior to restarting unit. Fans require very little attention when moving clean air. Occasionally oil and dust may accumulate causing imbalance. If the fan is installed in a corrosive or dirty atmosphere, periodically inspect and clean the wheel, inlet and other moving parts to ensure smooth and safe operation.

3. 4.

2 weeks after startup

1. Belt tension should be checked after the first 2 weeks of fan operation. Belts tend to stretch and settle into pulleys after an initial start-up sequence. Do not tension belts by changing the setting of the motor pulley, this will change the fan speed and may damage the motor. To re-tension belts, turn the power to the fan motor OFF. Loosen the fasteners that hold the motor to the fan. Move the motor to the left or right to adjust the belt tension. Belt tension should be adjusted to allow 1/64 of deflection per inch of belt span. Exercise extreme care when adjusting V-belts as not to misalign pulleys. Any misalignment will cause a sharp reduction in belt life and produce squeaky noises. Over-tightening will cause excessive belt and bearing wear as well as noise. Too little tension will cause slippage at startup and uneven wear. Whenever belts are removed or installed, never force belts over pulleys without loosening motor first to relieve belt tension. When replacing belts, use the same type as supplied by the manufacturer. On units shipped with double groove pulleys, matched belts should always be used. All fasteners should be checked for tightness each time maintenance checks are preformed prior to restarting unit.

2.

Every 3 months
1. Belt tension should be checked quarterly. See instructions in the previous maintenance section. Overtightening will cause excessive bearing wear and noise. Too little tension will cause slippage at startup and uneven wear. Fans need to be cleaned quarterly, and more often in severe conditions. If the blower is insulated, DO NOT PRESSURE WASH as this will damage the insulation. Instead, wipe the insulation down with a rag.

2.

Yearly
1. 2. 3. 4. Inspect bearings for wear and deterioration. Replace if necessary. Inspect belt wear and replace torn or worn belts. Inspect bolts and set screws for tightness. Tighten as necessary. Inspect motor for cleanliness. Clean exterior surfaces only. Remove dust and grease from the motor housing to ensure proper motor cooling. Remove dirt and grease from the wheel and housing to prevent imbalance and damage.
