To replace the belt:
1.Use a belt with same section type or similar size. Do not substitute a “FHP” type belt. When installing the new belt, do not use a tool (screwdriver or
2.Loosen the motor mounting plate front bolts and rear bolts.
3.Push the motor and its mounting plate towards the blower housing as close as possible to reduce the cen- ter distance between fan shaft and motor shaft.
4.Remove the belt by gently lifting the old belt over one of the pulleys.
5.Install the new belt by gently sliding the belt over both pulleys and then sliding the motor and plate away from the fan housing until proper tension is achieved.
6.Check the alignment of the pulleys, adjust if neces- sary.
7.Tighten all bolts.
8.Check the tension after a few hours of runtime and
Adjustable-Pitch Pulley on Motor
The motor pulley is an
As the pitch diameter is changed by adjusting the position of the movable flange, the centerline on this pulley shifts laterally (along the motor shaft). This creates a requirement for a realignment of the pulleys after any adjustment of the movable flange. Also reset the belt tension after each realignment.
Check the condition of the motor pulley for signs of wear. Glazing of the belt contact surfaces and erosion on these surfaces are signs of improper belt tension and/or belt slippage. Pulley replacement may be necessary.
To change fan speed:
1.Shut off unit power supply.
2.Loosen belt by loosening fan motor mounting nuts. (See Fig. 5.)
3.Loosen movable pulley flange setscrew. (See Fig. 6.)
4.Screw movable flange toward fixed flange to increase speed and away from fixed flange to decrease speed. Increasing fan speed increases load on motor. Do not exceed maximum speed specified.
5.Set movable flange at nearest keyway of pulley hub and tighten setscrew to torque specifications.
To align fan and motor pulleys:
1.Loosen fan pulley setscrews.
2.Slide fan pulley along fan shaft. Make angular align- ment by loosening motor from mounting.
3.Tighten fan pulley setscrews and motor mounting bolts to torque specifications.
4.Recheck belt tension.

Bearings
This fan system uses bearings featuring concentric split locking collars. The collars are tightened through a cap screw bridging the split portion of the collar. The cap screw has a Torx T25 socket head. To tighten the locking collar: Hold the locking collar tightly against the inner race of the bearing and torque the cap screw to
