Operation 10. Belt tension can be adjusted by loosening four fasteners on the drive frame, see Figure 11. The 1. Before starting up or operating fan, check all motor plate slides on the slotted adjusting arms fasteners for tightness. In particular, check the and drive frame angles in the same manner.
Routine Maintenance Belt and Bearing Maintenance for GB Model DANGER 1. Belts tend to stretch after a period of time. They should be checked periodically for wear and Disconnect and secure to the “off” position all tightness. When replacing belts, use the same electrical power to the fan prior to inspection type as supplied with the unit.
Fan Inlet Connections Recommended Bearings Lubrication Frequency in Months In order to assure proper fan performance, caution NOTE: If unusual environment conditions exist must be exercised in fan placement and connection (extreme temperature, moisture or contaminants) to the ventilation system. Obstructions, transitions, more frequent lubrication is required.
Troubleshooting WARNING AVERTISSEMENT Before taking any corrective action, make certain Avant d’entreprendre toute action corrective, unit is not capable of operation during repairs. s’assurer que l’appareil ne pourra pas fonctionner durant les réparations. PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION Adjust wheel and/or inlet cone. Tighten wheel hub or bearing collars Wheel rubbing inlet on shaft.
Each fan bears a manufacturer’s nameplate with model number and serial number embossed.
