Inspecting Fan Assembly
Use the following instructions to inspect the
fan assembly.
1. When the AHU is removed from long
term storage, purge the moisture-laden
bearing grease, and replenish the AHU
with fresh grease, according to the
lubrication label.
2. Meg the motor to verify that the resistance
is at a satisfactory level, compared to the
value recorded prior to storage.
3. Check the torque for bearings and locking
collars as shown in Table 1 on the next
page.
4. Verify that the fan wheel is properly
aligned, is tight on the shaft, and moves
freely.
5. Make sure the fan bearings are properly
lubricated. Refer to SECTION 3 -
MAINTENANCE in this manual for more
information.
6. Verify that the tie down bolts are removed
from the four corners of the fan base
assembly as shown in Figure 2 on the
next page. For small AHUs, the tie down
bolts may only be applied to three corners
of the fan base since one corner is not
accessible.
