ambient temperatures can fall below freezing then care must be taken
to ensure the water or liquid used for cooling does not freeze and
damage the blower end plates. End plates must be drained of liquid
during downtime unless a recirculating unit using a glycol mixture
has been installed.
NOTE: Units are never shipped from the manufacturer with liquid in
the end plates.

Coupling
1. Inspect all coupling components and remove any protective
coatings or lubricants from bores, mating surfaces and fasteners.
Remove any existing burrs, etc. from the shafts.
2. Slide one coupling flange onto each shaft, using snug-fitting keys
where required.
3. Position the flanges on the shafts. It is usually best to have an
equal length of shaft extending in to each flange. Move one
flange to its final position. (Usually the motor shaft.) Torque
fasteners to proper value. Slide the other flange far enough away
to install the sleeve. With the two piece sleeve, do not move the
wire ring to its final position, allow it to hang loosely in the
groove adjacent to the teeth.
4. The coupling employs a two-piece sleeve with a wire ring. Force
the ring into its groove in the center of the sleeve. It may be
necessary to pry the ring into position with a blunt screw driver.
5.
CAUTION:
Coupling sleeves may be thrown from the coupling
assembly with substantial force when the coupling is subjected to
a severe shock load or abuse.
