Blower Replacements
All motors ship with an attached blower housing. Depending on your configuration, the blower housing may have an axial blower, a radial blower, or an IC17 adapter shroud
attached to it. It is possible to replace a blower housing or to convert between blower configurations in some cases.
See
for available conversions and procedure references.
To replace a blower housing with the same configuration, use this list as a reference:
•
Axial blower to axial blower

Blower Conversions
The following are possible blower conversions for axial and radial blowers. To complete
the conversion, use the information that follows.

Do not disconnect the fan or the blower terminals to replace the blower
housing.
IMPORTANT
The radial blower is delivered in the top mounted position. If an alternate orientation is required, only an
experienced technician can install, remove, or reposition the blower. Complete these tasks on a workbench
and not in a mounted position. Replacement of the blower housing requires the torque specifications as
