1. Turn the energy wheel clockwise (as viewed from the
pulley side) by hand to verify that the wheel turns
freely through a full rotation.
2. Confirm that all wheel segments are fully engaged in
the wheel frame and that the segment retainers are
completely fastened. See
Figure 106, p. 154
.
3. Manually rotate the energy wheel clockwise through
several rotations to confirm the seal adjustment and
proper belt tracking on the wheel rim. Correct belt
tracking is approximately midway between the seal
plate and the outer edge of the rim.
Note:
The drive belt is a urethane stretch belt designed to
provide constant tension throughout the life of the
belt. No periodic adjustment is required. Inspect
the belt annually for proper tracking and tension. A
properly tensioned belt will turn the wheel
immediately, with no visible slippage, when power
is applied.
4. If the wheel has difficulty starting, turn off the power
and inspect the wheel for excessive interference
between the wheel surface and the four diameter
seals.To correct interference, loosen the diameter seal
adjusting screws and back the diameter seals away
from the surface of the wheel. Apply power to confirm
free wheel rotation. Re-adjust and tighten the seals
according to instructions in the “Service and Repair”
section.
Damper Actuators
Stroke the actuators to observe full open and full closure
of the dampers.
Routine Maintenance
Cleaning the Energy Wheel
Disconnect all electrical power, then use a vacuum or
brush to remove accumulated material from the face of the
wheel. Examine the energy wheel monthly for material
build-up on the wheel. If more aggressive cleaning is
needed, removed the wheel segments and follow these
steps:
1. Wash the segments or the wheel in a five-percent
solution of non-acid-base coil cleaner (part no.
WARNING
Rotating Components!
During installation, testing, servicing and
troubleshooting of this product it may be necessary to
work with live and exposed rotating components. Have
a qualified or licensed service individual who has been
properly trained in handling exposed rotating
components, perform these tasks. Failure to follow all
safety precautions could result in rotating components
cutting and slashing technician which could result in
death or serious injury.
WARNING
Rotating Components!
The following procedure involves working with rotating
components. Disconnect all electric power, including
remote disconnects before servicing. Follow proper
lockout/tagout procedures to ensure the power can not
be inadvertently energized. Failure to disconnect power
before servicing could result in rotating components
cutting and slashing technician which could result in
death or serious injury.

CAUTION
Cleaning Damage!
Do not use acid based cleaners, aromatic solvents,
steam, or temperatures in excess of 170°F. Doing so
could cause damage to the wheel!
CAUTION
Cleaning Damage!
Do not use a pressure washer to clean energy wheel
segments. Doing so could cause damage to the wheel!
