Maintenance Procedures:
Lubrication
Check all moving components for proper lubrication.
Apply lubricant where required. Any components
showing excessive wear should be replaced to
maintain the integrity of the unit and ensure proper
operation.
Dampers
Check all dampers to ensure they open and close
properly and without binding. Backdraft dampers can
be checked by hand to determine if blades open and
close freely. Apply power to motorized dampers to
ensure the actuator opens and closes the damper as
designed.
Fan Belts
Belts must be checked on a regular basis for wear,
tension, alignment and dirt accumulation. Premature
or frequent belt failures can be caused by improper
belt tension (either too loose or too tight) or
misaligned sheaves. Abnormally high belt tension or
drive misalignment will cause excessive bearing loads
and may result in failure of the fan and / or motor
bearings. Conversely, loose belts will cause squealing
on start-up, excessive belt flutter, slippage and
overheated sheaves. Both loose and tight belts can
cause fan vibration.
Routine Maintenance
DANGER
Electric shock hazard. Can cause injury or death.
Before attempting to perform any service or
maintenance, turn the electrical power to the unit
to OFF at disconnect switch(es). Unit may have
multiple power supplies.
CAUTION
Use caution when removing access panels or other
unit components, especially while standing on a
ladder or other potentially unsteady base. Access
panels and unit components can be heavy and
serious injury may occur.
This unit requires minimal maintenance to operate
properly. To ensure proper operation and longevity, the
following items should be completed. The items in this
list assume a relatively clean air environment, and may
require attention more frequently in a dusty or dirty
area. If this unit contains an indirect gas-fired heater,
refer to the Installation, Operation and Maintenance
manual provided with the unit for maintenance
purposes. A Certified Technician should complete all
refrigerant systems checks.
