c. Lock the motor plate adjustment bolts in place
d. Ensure pulleys are properly aligned. Refer to Figure 4

Pulley Alignment

Pulley alignment is adjusted by loosening the motor pulley

setscrew and by moving the motor pulley on the motor shaft.

Figure 4 indicates where to measure the allowable gap

for the drive alignment tolerance. All contact points (indi-
cated by WXYZ) are to have a gap less than the tolerance
shown in the table. When the pulleys are not the same
width, the allowable gap must be adjusted by half of the dif-
ference in width (As shown in A & B of Figure 4). Figure 5
illustrates using a carpenter’s square to adjust the position
of the motor pulley until the belt is parallel to the longer leg
of the square.

Final Installation Steps

a. Inspect fasteners and setscrews, particularly fan

mounting and bearing fasteners,
and tighten according to the rec-
ommended torque shown in the
table Recommended Torque for
Setscrews/Bolts
.

b. Inspect for correct voltage with

voltmeter.

c. Ensure all accessories are

installed.

Operation

Pre-Start Checks

a. Lock out all the primary and secondary power

sources.

b. Ensure fasteners and setscrews, particularly those

used for mounting the fan, are tightened.

c. Inspect belt tension and pulley alignment.
d. Inspect motor wiring.
e. Ensure belt touches only the pulleys.
f. Ensure fan and ductwork are clean and free of debris.
g. Inspect wheel-to-inlet clearance. The correct wheel-

to-inlet clearance is critical to proper fan performance.

h. Close and secure all access doors.

i. Restore power to the fan.

Follow the wiring diagram in the disconnect
switch and the wiring diagram provided with the
motor. Correctly label the circuit on the main
power box and always identify a closed switch
to promote safety (i.e., red tape over a closed
switch).

Wheel Rotation

Test the fan to ensure the rotation of the wheel is the

same as indicated by the arrow marked Rotation.

115 and 230 Single Phase Motors

Fan wheel rotation is set correctly at the factory. Chang-

ing the rotation of this type of motor should only be
attempted by a qualified electrician.

208, 230, and 460, 3 Phase Motors

These motors are electrically reversible by switching two

of the supply leads. For this reason, the rotation of the fan
cannot be restricted to one direction at the factory. See
Wiring Diagrams on page 3 for specific information on
reversing wheel direction.

NOTICE! Do not allow the fan to run in the wrong

direction. This will overheat the motor and cause seri-
ous damage. For 3-phase motors, if the fan is running
in the wrong direction, check the control switch. It is
possible to interchange two leads at this location so
that the fan is operating in the correct direction.

Belt and Pulley Installation

Belt tension is determined by the sound the belts make

when the fan is first started. Belts will produce a loud
squeal which dissipates after the fan is operating at full
capacity. If the belt tension is too tight or too loose, lost effi-
ciency and possible damage can occur. Do not change the
pulley pitch diameter to change tension. This will result in a
different fan speed than desired.

a. Loosen motor plate adjustment bolts and move motor

plate in order that the belts can easily slip into the
grooves on the pulleys. Never pry, roll, or force the
belts over the rim of the pulley.

b. Slide the motor plate back until proper tension is

reached. For proper tension a deflection of approxi-
mately 1/4” per foot of center distance should be
obtained by firmly pressing the belt. Refer to figure 3.
