GENERAL
Check all fasteners and set screws for tightness. This is especially important for bearings and fan wheels. Also, if dampers are not motorized, check that they open and close without binding.
FAN WHEEL ROTATION
Hand rotate the blower to ensure that the wheel is not rubbing against the scroll. If the blower is rotating in the wrong direction, the unit will move some air but not perform properly.

Airflow
To check the rotation, open the blower access panels, which are labeled either supply or exhaust, and run the blower momentarily to determine the rotation. Rotation should be in the same direction as airflow at the outlet (See FIGURES 14 & 15). Check for unusual noise, vibration or overheating of bearings. Refer to the “Trouble Shooting” section of this manual if a problem develops.
To reverse the rotation, turn the power off and use the following procedure:
•For single phase units, rewire the motor per the instructions on the motor.
•For three phase units, interchange any two power leads. (this can be done at the motor starter).
