Lubrication
MOTORS — Lubricate in accordance with nameplate at-
tached to motor or with manufacturer’s recommendations
included with motor.
BEARINGS
Fan Bearings — Lubricate fan bearings every 3 months
with suitable bearing grease. Typical lubricants are given in
Table 15.
Inlet Vane and Outlet Damper Bearings — These bearings
are oil-impregnated. Annually lubricate with a few drops of
nondetergent SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) 20 oil.
Table 15 — Lubricant Data
*Preferred lubricant because it contains rust and oxidation
inhibitors.
IMPORTANT: Replacement shafts must have a diam-
eter tolerance at bearing mount of
nominal.
Carrier-specified parts are recommended.
