SUPPLY FAN (BLOWER) SECTION
Supply Fan Assembly
The supply fan system consists of two forward-curved centrif-
ugal blower wheels mounted on a solid blower shaft that is
supported by two greaseable pillow block concentric bearings.
A fixed-pitch driven fan pulley is attached to the fan shaft and
an adjustable-pitch driver pulley is mounted on the motor. The
pulleys are connected using a V-belt. See Fig. 4.
Belt
Check the belt condition and tension quarterly. Inspect the belt
for signs of cracking, fraying or glazing along the inside sur-
faces. Check belt tension by using a spring-force tool, such as
Browning’s “Belt Tension Checker” (P/N: 1302546 or equiva-
lent tool); tension should be 6 lb at a 5 /
8
-in. (1.6 cm) deflection
when measured at the centerline of the belt span. This point is
at the center of the belt when measuring the distance between
the motor shaft and the blower shaft. See Fig. 5.
NOTE: Without the spring-tension tool, place a straight edge
across the belt surface at the pulleys, then push down on the belt at
mid-span using one finger until a 1 /
2
-in. (1.3 cm) deflection is
reached.

ADJUSTING THE BELT TENSION
Use the following steps to adjust the V-belt tension. See Fig. 4.
1. Loosen the four motor mounting nuts that attach the motor
to the blower rail.
2. Loosen the two jackbolt locking nuts beneath the motor
mounting plate. Turn the jackbolt locking nut counter-
clockwise to loosen.
3. Turn the jack bolts counterclockwise to loosen and clock-
wise to tighten.
4. Adjust the V-belt for proper tension.
5. Ensure the fan shaft and the motor shaft are parallel prior
to tightening motor mounting nuts. See Fig. 6.
6. Make adjustments as necessary.
7. Tighten the four motor mounting nuts.
8. Check the V-belt tension. Make adjustments as necessary.
9. Re-tighten the four motor mounting nuts.
10. Tighten both jackbolt locking nuts securely.
CAUTION
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could cause personal injury
or death.
Before performing service or maintenance operations on
the fan system, shut off all unit power and lockout/tag-out
the unit disconnect switch. DO NOT reach into the fan sec-
tion with power still applied to unit.
