INFORMATION
On units with three-phase fan motors,
check for proper blower rotation at start-
up� If they run backwards, interchange two
of the incoming power leads�
Blower Motors
All blower motors are equipped with thermal over- load
protectors�
CAUTION
Open disconnects to unit, as motor will
start when automatic thermal overload
resets�
Blower Speed Adjustment
Blower speed may be changed by adjusting the variable
diameter sheave provided on the blower drive motor�
Sheave may be adjusted by removing the belt and loosening
the setscrew located in the hub of the outer flange. With the
setscrew loosened, the flange may be turned clockwise to
increase blower speed and counter-clockwise to reduce
blower speed

CAUTION
Setscrew must be positioned directly
above a flat section of the threaded sheave
shaft before tightening to hold adjustment�
CAUTION
Reduction of airflow through excessive
external air friction losses, lowered blower
speed operation with dirty filters, or
obstructed air flow may result in excessive
condensation at air outlets, short cycling,
or total unit shutdown due to evaporator
coil icing�
INFORMATION
Verify that the motor current draw does
not exceed the motor nameplate current
by more than 10%�
Blower Motor Lubrication
Motor manufacturers indicate that motors never need re-
lubrication, but if units run continuously, it is recommended
that they be re-lubricated every 5500 hours for 3600 RPM
motors and 10,000 hours for 1800 RPM motors� If unit motors
are run in a cyclical manner, lubrication is recommended
every 5 years�
If the unit has been inactive or in storage for over a year, re-
lubricate before starting�
Use Polyrex EM, Texaco Polystar, Pennzoil Penn #2 or
Chevron SRI #2 lubricant or equivalent in the following
quantities: 0�6 cu� in� or 2 teaspoons, approximately 1 1/2 to
2 handle pumps using a standard grease gun� Keep grease
clean, and do not mix dissimilar greases�
Clean area around fitting. Remove purge plug (only on larger
motors) for greasing, and replace after at least 20 minutes
of operation after greasing� For safety, we recommend re-
lubricating while the motor is stopped�
Rotate the motor by hand as the grease is being applied to
avoid air pockets� Over greasing, either in quantity or speed
of injection, can cause premature bearing failure� Apply the
recommended quantity of grease gradually�
CAUTION
Disconnect power and lockout service
before doing any service or maintenance
to the unit�
