NOTE: There should be a 3 to 6 mm gap between the mating part hub and the bushing flange. If the gap is closed, the bushing is probably the wrong size.

3.With taper-lock bushed hubs, be sure the bushing bolts are tightened evenly to prevent side-to-side pulley wob- ble. Check by rotating sheaves and rechecking sheave alignment. When substituting field-supplied sheaves for factory-supplied sheaves, only the motor sheave should be changed.

Blower Fan Performance Adjustment — The unit is supplied with variable sheave drive on the fan motor to adjust for differing airflows at various ESP conditions. Select an airflow requirement on the left side of the table, then move horizontally to right under the required ESP for the sheave turns open, rpm and horsepower for that condition. Fully closed, the sheave will produce the highest static capability (higher rpm).

To change fan speeds from factory settings:

1.Shut off unit power supply.

2.Remove belt from motor sheave.

3.Lift motor assembly.

4.Loosen the 5/16-in. hex nuts on the grommet motor adjust- ment bolts (2 per bolt). To increase the belt tension loosen the top hex nut. To decrease the belt tension loosen the bottom hex nut.

5.Turn the bolts by hand to the desired position then tighten the 5/16-in. hex nuts ( 2 per bolt).

6.Lower the motor assembly.

7.Install the belt.

8.Tension the belt per section below.

9.Restore power to the unit.

BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT — Using a gage, apply 4 lb of force to the center of the belt and adjust the tension until a deflection of 1/64-in. is achieved for every inch of shaft center distance. See Fig. 25.

Ideal belt tension is the lowest value under which belt slip will not occur at peak load conditions.
