Belt Replacement
Always replace belts as a set. Follow the steps below
to replace belts:
1. Release the tension on the belts by loosening the
adjusting nuts on the fan motor.
2. Remove old belts and recheck the sheave alignment
with a straight edge.
3. Install the new belts on the sheaves.
Never place the belts on the sheaves by using a
screwdriver to pry the belt over the rim of the sheave.
This will permanently damage the belts.
Use a Browning Belt tension gauge to properly tension
belts
(see Figure 50, Detail B).
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE – YEARLY
Check the fan wheels and inspect the drain pan for
sludge and foreign material. Clean if required.
Observe the operation of all dampers and make any
necessary adjustments in linkage and blade orientation
for proper operation.
Entire Unit Inspection
In addition to the checks listed in this section, periodic
overall inspections of the unit should be accomplished
to ensure proper equipment operation. Items such as
loose hardware, component operation, refrigerant leaks,
unusual noises, etc. should be investigated and corrected
immediately.
Sheave Alignment
To check sheave alignment, a straight edge or a piece of
string can be used. If the sheaves are properly aligned,
the string or straight edge will touch at all points,
as indicated in Figure 51. Rotating the sheaves will
determine if the sheave is wobbly or the drive shaft is
bent. Alignment error must be corrected to avoid bearing
and belt failure.

Belts
New belts should be rechecked after 24 hours of
operation. On multiple belt adjustable pulleys, the pitch
depth should be checked to insure identical belt travel,
power transfer and wear. Adjustable motor bases are
provided for belt adjustment.
Motor pulleys and blower shaft pulleys are locked
in position with either set screws or split taper lock
bushings. All set screws and/or taper lock bolts must
be checked for tightness and alignment before putting
equipment into operation.
