General Maintenance
1. Fan inlet and approaches to ventilator should be kept clean and free from any obstruction.
2. Motors are normally permanently lubricated. Check bearings periodically. If they have grease
fittings lubricate each season. Use caution when lubricating bearings, wipe the fittings clean, the
unit should be rotated by hand while lubricating. Caution: Use care when touching the exterior
of an operating motor. Motors normally run hot and may be hot enough to be painful or
cause injury.
3. All fasteners should be checked for tightness each time maintenance checks are preformed prior
to restarting unit.
4. Blowers require very little attention when moving clean air. Occasionally oil and dust may
accumulate causing imbalance. If the fan is installed in a corrosive or dirty atmosphere,
periodically inspect and clean the wheel, inlet and other moving parts to ensure smooth and safe
operation.
