Angular misalignment
(see Fig.11)
–
along a vertical axis: the straight edge interferes with blower sprocket face on one side of
the shaft and there is a uniform gap between straight edge and sprocket on the opposite
side of blower shaft
–
along a horizontal axis: there is a non-uniform gap between straight edge and blower
sprocket on either side of blower shaft.
-To correct angular misalignment along a vertical axis, loosen the four hex screws (use
a 3/4 in. open wrench on bolt head and a 3/4 in. socket on the nut) which hold the
blower to the bracket support (see Fig.15), reposition the blower to correct the
misalignment, tighten the hex nuts to 48 +/- 7 ft-lbs and check misalignment.
-To correct angular misalignment along a horizontal axis, loosen the four hex screws
(use a 3/4 in. open wrench on bolt head and a 3/4 in. socket on the nut) holding the
blower to the bracket support (see Fig.15) and shim the blower base (see Fig.16) using
stainless steel slotted shims with tab. Shims must have a slot 5/8 in. wide. Finally, once
alignment is achieved, tighten the four hex screws to 35-38 ft-lbs and recheck
misalignment.
