Recommended Lubricant for Fan
Bearings
The following manufacturers and grease types are ap-
proved for use on this equipment:
SHELL – Alvania EP Grease No. 2
TEXACO – Molytex Grease No. 2
MOBIL Mobilux EP2
GULF – Golfcrown Grease No. 2
AMERICAN Amolith Grease No. 2
A lithium/petroleum base grease conforming to an NLGI
Grade II consistency is normally used. The lubricant must
be free of any chemical impurities such as free acid or
free alkali, dust, rust, metal particles, or abrasiveness.
This light viscosity, low torque grease is rust inhibited and
water resistant, has a temperature range of -30.0–200.0°F
with intermittent highs of +250.0°F. Lubricate bearings as
required by the severity of required duty.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE –
THREE TO SIX MONTHS
Disconnect and lock-out power from the
unit anytime service is performed on the
fan section. Failure to do so could result
in serious injury or death due to the fan
turning ON while work is in progress.
Squealing belts during starting is caused
by slipping belts that are not tensioned
properly.
Motor Bearing Lubrication
Bearings must be re-lubricated periodically to assure
long life. Motor bearing should be lubricated yearly,
but may need lubrication more frequently, depending
on severe operating conditions.
Belt Tension
Adjust the belt tension if necessary.
Required belt ten-
sion data is listed in Table 15
. Never use belt dressing
on the belts. If belts slip with the proper tension, use a
good grade belt cleanser to clean the belts.
When it is necessary to replace one belt in a given set,
the entire set of belts must be replaced.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE – YEARLY
Check the fan wheel and inspect the drain pans for
sludge and foreign material. Clean if required.
If unit has an air side economizer, 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.
Never use excessive belt tension, as this
could result in damaging the bearing,
motor pulleys or motor base. See drive
label on fan housing adjacent to drive for
specific details on tension.
