Both motor shaft and fan bore must be completely free of

paint, grease, oil and dirt. If necessary, clean the surfaces

with non-petroleum based solvent, such as isopropyl alco-

hol. Insert the bushing into the fan, making sure the mating

hub is flush against the shoulder at the flats. Position the

assembly at the desired location on the motor shaft and

hand tighten nut (clockwise) until the assembly becomes

snug on the shaft.

Using a torque wrench and a 1¾” socket, tighten the nut to

the proper installation torque. See Table 3 for torque value.

Fan should overlap inlet cone by 3/8” [9 mm] and have a

clearance of 1/16” [2 mm]. Motor/fan assembly position is

adjustable by loosening the four bolts (#3, Figure 7) and

sliding shelf forwards and back.

sette seals. Proper support must be provided so the cas-

sette is not dropped.
