Jib Crane Assembly  
(Optional Accessory)

The jib crane is mounted 
to sockets provided on 
the plenum housing. 
When assembling the jib 
crane, use the socket 
closest to the fan 
which is to be serviced 
(multiple sockets are on 
plenums consisting of 
three or more fans). Jib 
crane is designed to 
lift windband and 
motor only. Any 
other use may 
result in serious 
injury. Jib crane 
must not be 
used to lift the 
fan from the 
plenum.

NOTE

Complete assembly instructions for the jib crane are 
documented in Assembly Instruction #472081, Jib 
Crane for Vektor. Instructions are shipped with the jib 
crane or can be found online at greenheck.com under 
the library section.

V-Belt Drive Installation

Belt Drive

1.  Remove the protective coating from the end of the 

fan shaft using mineral spirits or another similar 
solvent. Check to ensure that the shaft is free of 
nicks and burrs.

2.  Slide sheaves on shafts - do not drive 

sheaves on as this may result in 
bearing damage and void the 
warranty.

3.  Align fan and motor 

sheaves with a straight-
edge or string and tighten.

4.  Place belts over sheaves. 

Do not pry or force belts, 
as this could result in 
damage to the cords in  
the belts.

5.  Adjust the tension until the belts appear snug. Run 

the unit for a few minutes and allow the belts to “set” 
properly.

6.  With the fan off and disconnect locked out, adjust 

the belt tension by moving the motor pivot plate. 
When in operation, the tight side of the belts should 
be in a straight line from sheave to sheave with a 
slight bow on the slack side.

Aligning Sheaves with 

a Straight Edge 

Radial Gap and Alignment

Efficient fan performance can be maintained by having 
the correct radial gap and alignment. These items 
should be checked before start-up when the unit has 
been disassembled.

Radial Gap:  

Adjust inlet cone position such that the 

radial gap between the wheel cone and inlet cone is 
evenly distributed around the wheel.

Alignment:  

If necessary, adjust wheel position by 

loosening the wheel hub from the fan shaft so that a 
straight edge held tight to the wheel cone just touches 
the inlet cone.
