ELECTRICALSHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could cause personal
injury or death.
Before performing service or maintenance operations
on the fan system, shut off all unit power and tag--out
the unit disconnect switch.Do not reach into the fan
sectionwith power still applied to unit.
!WARNING

Supply Fan (Belt--Drive)

The supply fan system consists of a forward--curved
centrifugal blower wheel on a solid shaft with two
concentric type bearings, one oneach side of the blower
housing. A fixed--pitchdriven pulley is attache d to the fan
shaft and an adjustable--pitch driver pulley is on the
motor. The pulleys are connected using a “V” type belt.
(See Fig. 5.)

Belt
Check the belt conditionand tension quarterly. Inspect the
belt for signs of cracking, fraying or glazing along the
insidesurfaces. Check belt tension by using a spring--force
tool (such as Browning’s Part Number “Belt Tension
Checker” or equivalent tool); tension should be 6--lbs at a
5/8--in.deflection when measured at the centerline of the
belt span. This point is at the center of the belt when
measuring the distance between the motor shaft and the
blower shaft.
NOTE: Without the spring--tensiontool, pla ce a straight
edge across the belt surface at the pulleys, then deflect the
belt at mid--spanusing one finger to a 1/2--in. deflection.
Adjustbelt tension by loosening the motor mounting plate
front bolts and rear bolt and sliding the plate toward the
fan (to reduce tension) or away from fan (to increase
tension). Ensure the blower shaft and the motor shaft are
parallel to each other (pulleys aligned). Tighten all bolts
when finished.
Toreplace the belt:
1. Use a belt with same sectiontype or similar size. Do
not substitute a “FHP”type belt. When installing the
new belt, do not use a tool (screwdriver or pry--bar) to
force the belt over the pulley flanges, this will stress
the belt and cause a reductionin belt life.
2. Loosen the motor mounting plate front bolts and rear
bolts.
3. Push the motor and its mountingplate towards the
blower housing as close as possible to reduce the cen-
ter distance betweenfan 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
re--adjustas required.
Adjustable--Pitch Pulleyon Motor
The motor pulley is an adjustable--pitch type that allows a
servicer to implement changes in the fan wheel speed to
match as--installedductwork systems. The pulley consists
of a fixed flange sidethat faces the motor (secured to the
motor shaft) and a movable flange side that can be rotated
around the fixed flange side that increases or reduces the
pitch diameter of thisdriver pulley. (See Fig. 6.)
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
tensionafter each realignment.
Check the conditionof 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. Pulleyreplacement may be necessary.
