fan. Every switch should have the ability to be “locked-off”
by the service person and the key to be retained by this per-
son to prevent accidental power of the fan while service is
in process.

Operation Checklist

Verify that proper safety precautions have been followed:

Electrical power must be locked off.

Check fan mechanism components:

System connections are properly made and tightened.

Bearings are properly lubricated.

Wheel, drives and fan surfaces are clean and free of
debris.

Rotate the impeller by hand to verify it has not shifted
in transit.

Check wheel/funnel overlap. See Figure 6.

Drives on correct shafts (not reversed).

Check position of guards to prevent rubbing.

Check fan electrical components:

Motor is wired for proper supply voltage.

Motor was properly sized for power and rotational
inertia of rotating assembly.

Motor is properly grounded.

All leads are properly insulated.

Trial “bump”:

Turn on power just long enough to start assembly
rotating.

Check rotation for agreement with rotation arrow.
Does the assembly make any unusual noise? 
(See Figure 7)

Check drive alignment and tension. Does this meet
with drive manufacturer’s recommendations?

Correct any problems which may have been found.
(Follow safety guidelines - shut power off). Perform
checklist again until unit is operating properly.

Run unit up to speed.

Verify fastener tightness. These may have loosened during
shipment or installation.

Set screws attaching wheel hub to shaft.

Set screws in drive sheaves or coupling.

Nuts on inlet funnel.

Nuts and bolts holding motor.

Nuts holding housing frame to base and base to
ground.

Nuts on accessories including shaft seal, access
doors and pie-splits.

Bolts in taper-lock bushings.

Grease line connections.

After one week of operation, check all nuts, bolts and set
screws and tighten if necessary.

Maintenance of Fans

This section contains general maintenance instructions for
your Twin City Fan & Blower unit. For specific information
about maintenance of components, particularly for special
application fans, see the attached documents.

General Motor Maintenance

The three basic rules of motor maintenance are:

1. Keep the motor clean.
2. Keep the motor dry.
3. Keep the motor properly lubricated.

Keeping motors and windings clean is important

because dirt and dust serve as thermal insulators. Heat nor-
mally dissipated by the motor is trapped causing overheat-
ing and/or premature failure. Blow dust and dirt out of wind-
ings and off the motor periodically. Use low pressure (50
psig) airstream so that winding damage does not occur.
Keep the area surrounding the motor open so the air can cir-
culate through the motor cooling fan. Follow normal mainte-
