SECTION 3 - MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED)
Adjusting Air Seals
Four adjustable diameter seals are provided on each
cassette to minimize transfer of air between the counter
flowing air streams.
•
To adjust diameter seals, loosen diameter seal
adjusting screws and move diameter seal away from
wheel surface.
•
Rotate wheel clockwise until two opposing spokes are
hidden behind the bearing support beam as shown in
Figure 61 (below).
Using a folded piece of paper as a feeler gage, position
paper between the wheel surface and diameter seals.
Adjust seals towards wheel surface until a slight friction on
the feeler gage (paper) is detected when gauge is moved
along the length of the spoke.
•
Re-tighten adjusting screws and recheck clearance
with feeler gauge.
Inspect Wheel Drive Components
•
The wheel drive motor bearings are pre-lubricated
and no further lubrication is necessary.
•
The wheel drive pulley is secured to the drive motor
shaft by a combination of either a key or D slot and
setscrew. The setscrew is secured with removable
locktite to prevent loosening. Annually confirm
setscrew is secure.
•
The wheel drive belt is a urethane stretch belt
designed to provide constant tension through the life
of the belt. No adjustment is required. Inspect the
drive belt annually for proper tracking and tension. A
properly tensioned belt will turn the wheel immediately
after power is applied with no visible slippage during
start-up.
•
If slippage is detected, replace wheel drive belt
immediately because it likely to become clogged.
Contact the Krueger Rep to order replacement
belt. Refer to service manual for belt replacement
instructions.
