just evaporator-fan speed to meet jobsite conditions.

Tables 5A and 5B show fan rpm at motor pulley settings. Tables 6 and 7 show maximum amp draw of belt-drive motor. Table 8 shows motor nominal horsepower for evaporator-fan motors. Refer to Tables 8-25 for performance data. See Tables 26 and 27 for accessory and option static pressure drops.

BELT-DRIVE MOTORS — Fan motor pulleys are factory set for speed shown in Table 1. Check pulley alignment and belt tension prior to start-up.

NOTE: Before adjusting fan speed, make sure the new fan speed will provide an air temperature rise range as shown in Table 1.

To change fan speed:

1.Shut off unit power supply, tag disconnect.

2.Loosen belt by loosening fan motor mounting nuts. See Fig. 37.

3.Loosen movable pulley flange setscrew (see Fig. 38).

4.Screw movable flange toward fixed flange to increase speed and away from fixed flange to decrease speed. In- creasing fan speed increases load on motor. Do not ex- ceed maximum speed specified in Table 1.

5.Set movable flange at nearest keyway of pulley hub and tighten setscrew. (See Table 1 for speed change for each full turn of pulley flange.)

To align fan and motor pulleys, loosen fan pulley setscrews and slide fan pulley along fan shaft. Make angular alignment by loosening motor from mounting.

To adjust belt tension:

1.Loosen fan motor mounting nuts.

2.Slide motor mounting plate away from fan scroll for proper belt tension (1/2-in. deflection with 8 to 10 lbs of force) and tighten mounting nuts.

3.Adjust lock bolt and nut on mounting plate to secure mo- tor in fixed position.
