Condenser Fans
Shut off service switch to deenergize condenser-fan
motors.
ADJUSTMENT — Remove fan guard from top of unit. Re-
move rubber hubcap from fan hub and loosen fan hub set-
screws. Adjust fan height using a straight edge laid across
fan deck venturi (Fig. 38). Tighten setscrews and replace rub-
ber hubcap to prevent hub from rusting to motor shaft. Fill
hub recess with Permagum (or similar adhesive) if rubber
hubcap is missing.
FAN MOTOR REMOVAL Disconnect motor electrical
leads at motor control box. Loosen fan hub setscrews and
remove fan. Loosen motor mounting band and lift out
motor.
Reverse this procedure for reassembly.
LUBRICATION Condenser-fan motors have factory-
lubricated bearings. No relubrication is necessary for the first
3 to 5 years of continuous operation except in excessively
dirty outdoor-air applications.After the first relubrication bear-
ings must be opened, cleaned, and repacked annually with
light- to medium-duty multi-purpose grease.
Evaporator Fans and Motor
Shut off service switch to deenergize evaporator-fan
motor.
MOTOR REMOVAL Disconnect motor power wires at
conduit connection on unit junction box. Then remove mo-
tor and conduit assembly from unit.
FAN SHAFT BEARING REMOVAL
1. Remove fan motor and belts.
2. Loosen the locknut on each shaft bearing collar and re-
move the fan drive pulley.
3. Loosen the fan wheel locknuts and slide out fan shaft.
4. Remove the 2 bearings.
Reverse steps 1-4 to reassemble.
FAN SPEED ADJUSTMENT Pulley listed in Table 1 is
factory installed in the unit.
If the factory-supplied pulley is not suitable, provide a field-
supplied pulley of the correct size as required. Refer to
Table 1 for additional fan data.
IMPORTANT: Increasing fan speed increases load on
motor. Do not exceed maximum fan motor full load
amperage (Tables 2 and 3).
