lubricant which is expelled at startup through the seals should 

not be replaced. This purging action will permit cooler operation 

and remaining grease will be adequate to  

properly

 lubricate 

the bearing. During the inactive period, the bearing should be 

protected from the elements by a securely attached plastic film 

and  rotated  several  turns  once  a  month.  On  belt  driven  units, 

it  is  advisable  to  protect  the  bearings  from  contamination 

by  covering  the  belt  guard  opening  with  a  suitable  material. 

Belts should be removed from the motor sheave and stored in 

the guard. This will allow both the guard and the motor to be 

completely covered with a waterproof material.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
DO...

1.  Do make sure unit is stopped and electrical power is locked 

out before putting hands into inlet or outlet opening or near 

belt drive. We suggest a LOCK-OUT and a warning sign on 

the start switch cautioning not to start the unit.

2.  Do follow maintenance instructions.
3.  Do make sure all drive guards are installed at all times fan 

is in operation. If the inlet or outlet is exposed, a suitable 

guard should also be installed.

4.  Do take special care not to open any fan or system access 

panels  while  the  system  is  under  pressure  (negative  or 

positive).

5.  Never allow untrained or unauthorized persons to work on 

equipment.

6.  Do  take  special  care  when  working  near  electricity. Also 

insure the power is off and can not be turned on while 

servicing the fan.

7.  Do keep area near equipment clean.

DO NOT...

1.  DO NOT put hands near or allow loose or hanging clothing 

to be near belts or sheaves while the unit is running.

2.  DO NOT put hands into inlet or outlet while unit is running. 

It is sometimes difficult to tell whether or not it is running 

. . . be sure it is not running and cannot be operated before 

doing any inspection or maintenance.

3.  DO NOT operate fan with guards removed.
4.  DO NOT take chances.

 

INSTALLATION

Mounting  holes  have  been  provided  for  mounting  to  either 

stationary or resilient bases. Fans must be located and fastened 

firmly in a level position. The motor and drive  are  then  mounted  

in  their  proper relative positions, if not already mounted on the 

fan. 

WHEEL CLEARANCE

Before staring up a fan, the wheel should be inspected to assure 

that the assembly has not shifted while in transit. Incorrect wheel  

clearance  could  cause  damage to  the  wheel  and  housing,  and  

lower the efficiency of the fan. The clearance between the wheel 

and housing should be equal around the entire circumference of

the wheel.

MOTOR AND DRIVE ALIGNMENT

It is important that motor pulleys and fan pulleys be properly 

aligned to allow belts to run true and straight. Misalignment can 

result in blower noise and excessive belt wear.

BELT TENSION

To assure performance and belt life, proper tensioning of the 

belts  is  required.  Adjustable  motor  bases  are  provided  on 

Arrangement 9 fans for belt tensioning. Belt tension should be 

provided such that belt slippage does not exceed one (1) second 

duration at fan start up. Check belt tension at least two (2) times 

during the first day of operation.

HEAT FAN PACKAGE

All YORK® by Johnson Controls heat fan packages are designed 

based on a  maximum temperature rise of 15°F/min.

FAN ROTATION

Fan rotation per AMCA is determined from the discharge end 

of  the  fan. YORK®  by  Johnson  Controls  provides  a  rotation 

sticker on the fan housing for verification. Bump  start  the fan 

to confirm rotation is correct before running  fan  at  full  speed.  

Running  the fan in reverse may overload and possibly damage 

the motor.
