VII. STEP 7 — ADJUST EVAPORATOR-FAN SPEED
Adjust
Table 6 shows fan rpm at motor pulley settings, Table 7 shows motor efficiencies and Table 8 gives accessory static pressure drop. Table 9 shows motor performance. Refer to Tables
To change fan speed:
1.Shut off unit power supply and install lockout tag.
2.Loosen belt by loosening fan motor mounting plate nuts (see Fig. 34 and 35).
3.Loosen movable pulley flange setscrew (see Fig. 36).
4.Screw movable flange toward fixed flange to increase speed and away from fixed flange to decrease fan speed. Increasing fan speed increases load on motor. Do not exceed maximum speed specified in Tables 1A and 1B.
5.Set movable flange at nearest flat of pulley hub and tighten setscrew (see Tables 1A and 1B for speed change for each full turn of pulley flange).
To align fan and motor pulleys:
1.Loosen fan pulley setscrews.
2.Slide fan pulley along fan shaft.
3.Make angular alignment by loosening motor from mounting plate.
To adjust belt tension (see Fig. 34 and 35):
1.Loosen fan motor mounting plate nuts.
2.Units 090,091,102,103 — Slide motor mounting plate away from fan scroll for proper belt tension

3.Adjust bolt and nut on mounting plate to secure motor in fixed position.
4.Check pulley alignment and realign pulleys if necessary.
