the. key. should. be. placed. in.
the.keyway.pushed.toward.the.
bearing. as. far. as. the. runout.
will. allow. without. rubbing.. The.
back. of. the. sheave. should. be.
lined. up. with. the. end. of. the.
key. (see. Figure. 5. on. page. 3)..
For.sheaves.without.a.key,.the.
sheave. should. be. placed. as.
close. to. motor. and/or. bearing.
as. possible. without. rubbing..
Typically. the. sheave. should.
be. at. least. ¼". away. from. the.
motor,. bearing,. guard,. struc-
tures,.etc.
c..Align. sheaves. with. a. straight-
edge.extended.along.the.perim-
eters. of. both. sheaves,. just.
making. contact. in. two. places.
on. outside. perimeters. of. both.
sheaves.(see.Figure.6).
d..Tighten.down.sheave.bolts.
e..Install.a.matched.set.of.belts..Slide.the.motor.to.
obtain. slack. and. tighten. belts.. Using. a. pry. will.
damage.belts.
f... Tighten.belts.to.proper.belt.tension..Ideal.tension.
is. just. enough. tension. so. that. belts. do. not. slip.
under.peak.load..Recheck.sheave.alignment.
g..After.initial.installation.of.belts,.recheck.belt.tension.
again.after.a.few.days.to.adjust.belt.tension..(New.
belts.require.a.break-in.period.of.operation.)
10..Install. any. safety. devices. or. accessories. supplied..
(Accessories. commonly. used. are. inlet. vanes,. shaft.
seals.and.shaft.coolers,.plugs,.dampers,.and.inlet.or.
discharge.screens..Refer.to.appropriate.documents.
in.appendix.)
11..Grout. may. now. be. applied.. Grout. is. used. to. dis-
tribute.loads.and.should..not.be.used.as.the.sole.
support.of.any.rotating.equipment.
12..When.connecting.the.fan.to.the.system,.it.is.recom-
mended.that.the.inlet.and.discharge.be.isolated.from.
the.system.with.flex.connections.(where.practical).to.
block. transmitted. vibration.. All. duct. connections. to.
the.fan.should.be.independently.supported..Do.not.
use.fan.to.support.duct.
Fan Operation - Safety
For. general. safety. practices. for. air. moving. equipment,.
see.AMCA.Bulletin.410.
. Twin. City. Fan. &. Blower. has. many. safety. accesso-
ries.available..These.safety.devices.include.(but.are.not.
limited.to).belt.guards,.shaft.guards,.inlet.and.discharge.
screens..The.use,.abuse,.or.non-use.of.safety.devices.
is.the.responsibility.of.the.purchaser.
. Facility-related. safety. conditions. include. fan. acces-
sibility.and.location..How.easily.can.non-service.person-
nel. access. the. unit?. Is. the. fan. in. a. hazardous. duty.
environment?.Was.the.unit.ordered.for.this.duty?.Other.
concerns. must. also. be. addressed.. All. fans. should. be.
powered. through. switches. which. are. easily. accessible.
to.service.personnel.from.the.fan..Every.switch.should.
have.the.ability.to.be.“locked-off”.by.the.service.person.
and. the. key. to. be. retained. by. this. person. to. prevent.
accidental.power.of.the.fan.while.service.is.in.process.
