Mounting
Remove the blower section from the HVAC system. Remove the existing
ECM motor from the blower section and properly dispose of the motor.
The frame size of the Evergreen EM motor is NEMA 48 (5.6” Diameter). This
is the most common frame size for indoor blower motors. The Evergreen EM
requires a belly band style mounting bracket.
-
If the existing motor mount is welded to the motor, bolted directly
to the motor, or attaches to the bearing assembly of the motor, it
cannot be used on the Evergreen EM. Genteq belly band kit 5K002
is recommended to replace the 4-lug mount shown below. See your
local distributor or theDealerToolbox.com for availability.
-
Universal belly band motor mounts in multiple sizes are available from
local distributors and theDealerToolbox.com
-
If the mounting bracket must be replaced, selecting one with the
same mounting pattern on the blower housing will save drilling new
holes in the blower section.
-
The belly band must fit the new motor properly. It should be tight
enough to prevent the motor from shifting on start-up and located
according to the diagram below.
Always disconnect the main power from the unit being serviced before
disconnecting any wiring or removing any components. It is also a good
practice to confirm that the power is off with a meter.
