This manual is to guide the users in the proper storage, installation, operation and maintenance procedures to ensure maximum equipment life and trouble-free operation. HANDLING AND MAINTENANCE SHOULD ALWAYS BE PERFORMED BY EXPERIENCED AND TRAINED PERSONNEL. RECEIVING, HANDLING AND STORAGE Rough handling during shipment and improper storage can cause damage that is not noticeable until the fan is in operation.
The fan may now be put into operation but during the first 8 hrs of running, it should be periodically observed and checked for excessive vibration and noise. Checks should be made on motor input current and motor & bearing temperature to ensure that they do not exceed manufacturer’s recommendation. After 8 hrs of operation, the fan should be shut down to check the following items :- All set screws and hold-down bolts Belt drive alignment...

GUIDELINES FOR PLENUM AND PLUG FANS INSTALLATION Adjacent Walls The distance between the fan and walls or ceilings will affect the fan performance. The recommended distance between the fan wheel and any wall is a minimum of 0.5 wheel diameter. Multiple walls reduce the performance even more.
Aligning sheaves Proper Offset Pigeon- Toed Angle with a straight edge BELT TENSION Proper belt tension is important for long belt life. Too much tension puts excessive loads on the belts and the bearings, reducing the lives of both components. Not enough tension allows belt slippage, which generates heat and drastically reduces the life of the belt.
Tensioning Forces Force required to deflect belt 16mm per metre of span Belt Section Small Pulley Kilogram Newton (N) Diamter (mm) force (Kgf) 56 - 95 13 - 20 1.3 - 2.0 100 - 140 20 - 25 2.0 - 2.5 80 - 132 25 - 35 2.5 - 3.6...

Referring to manufacturers’ instructions, the amount of grease required for relubrication can be determined from Gp = 0.006 D B Where Gp = Grease quantity for periodic relubrication, g D = Bearing outside diameter, mm B = Bearing width, mm The relubricating interval may be determined from the following diagram.
SKF Carb Roller Bearing VIBRATION ISOLATOR INSTALLATION Choose proper isolator (Isolator can be selected from Kruger selection programme) Adjust deflection based on the selected isolator. Maintain the operating / free height at the same level through step 2.
