WARNING
Disconnect and secure to the ‘Off’ position all electri-
cal power to the fan prior to inspection and servicing.
Failure to comply with this safety precaution could
result in serious injury or death.
Start Up
Turn the fan on. In variable speed units, set the fan to its
lowest speed and inspect for the following:
F Direction of rotation.
F Excessive vibration.
F Unusual noise.
F Bearing noise.
F Improper belt alignment or tension (listen for squeal-ing).
F Improper motor amperage or voltage.
If a problem is discovered, immediately shut the fan off. Lock
out all electrical power and check for the cause of the trouble.
See Troubleshooting.
Inspection
Inspection of the fan should be conducted at the first
30 minute, 8 hour and 24 hour intervals of satisfactory
operation. During the inspections, stop the fan and inspect.
F 30 Minute Interval: Inspect bolts, setscrews, and motor
mounting bolts. Adjust and tighten as necessary.
F 8 Hour Interval: Inspect belt alignment and tension.
Adjust and tighten as necessary.
F 24 Hour Interval: Inspect belt tension. Adjust and tighten
as necessary.
General Fan Maintenance
Once the unit has been put into operation, a routine
maintenance schedule should be set up to accomplish the
following:
1. Lubrication of bearings and motor.
2. Wheel, housing, bolts and set screws on the entire fan
should be checked for tightness.
3. Any dirt accumulation on the wheel or in the housing
should be removed to prevent unbalance and possible
damage.
4. Isolation bases should be checked for freedom of
movement and the bolts for tightness. Springs should be
checked for breaks and fatigue. Rubber isolators should
be checked for deterioration.
5. Inspect fan impeller and housing looking for fatigue,
corrosion or wear.
6. Check V-belt drives on a regular basis for wear, tension,
alignment and dirt accumulation.
