PHASING
Predator® units are properly phased at the factory. Check for proper compressor rotation. If the blower or compressors rotate in the wrong direction at
Line Connection at the factory or field supplied discon- nect to obtain proper rotation. (Scroll compressors operate in only one direction. If the scroll is drawing low amperage, has similar suction and discharge pressures, or producing a high noise level, the scroll is misphased.)
Scroll compressors require proper rotation to oper- ate correctly. Units are properly phased at the fac- tory. Do not change the internal wiring to make the blower condenser fans, or compressor rotate cor- rectly.
BLOWER ROTATION
Check for proper supply air blower rotation. If the blower is rotating backwards, the line voltage at the unit point of power connection is misphased (See ‘PHASING’).

FIGURE 22 - BELT ADJUSTMENT
Procedure for adjusting belt tension:
1.Loosen six nuts (top and bottom) A.
2.Adjust by turning (B).
3.Never loosen nuts (C).
4.Use belt tension checker to apply a perpendicular force to one belt at the midpoint of the span as shown. Deflection distance of 4mm (5/32”) is obtained.
To determine the deflection distance from normal position, use a straight edge from sheave to sheave as reference line. The recommended deflection force is as follows:
Tension new belts at the max. deflection force rec- ommended for the belt section. Check the belt ten- sion at least two times during the first 24 hours of operation. Any retensioning should fall between the min. and max. deflection force values.
5. After adjusting retighten nuts (A).
