Instructions for adjusting blade angle setting on adjust-
able pitch Vane Axial Inline Blowers (AVA).
a. Disconnect power supply.
b. Remove hub cover.
c. Placing a bubble protractor on the flat machined
surface on the discharge side of the hub, take an ini-
tial reading, when setting the blade to the desired
angle, (no greater than 40°) remember to allow for
the angle at which the fan is installed, as indicated
by the is initial reading.
d. Adjust each blade individually as follows (note that
one person should hold and adjust the blade while
another tightens the nuts).
e. Replace hub cover.
f. Reconnect power supply.
1. Place blade in 3 o’clock or 9 o’clock position.
2. Loosen retaining nut on blade bolt.
3. Postition bubble protractor on the face (discharge
side) of the blade at the indicated line. If the line is not
visible, position protractor on a line perpendicular to
the blade center line, and 30% of the wheel radius in
from the tip on 39”, 49”, 63” and 79” fans (22% On 35”,
44”, 55” and 71” fans).
4. Set blade to desired angle, correcting for angle of
installation.
5. Tighten nut so that blade is snug.
6. Recheck blade angle. If blade has shifted, tap blade
near hub with soft mallet to correct.
7. Tighten nut to tabulate torque:
8. Rotate wheel to bring next blade into same position
and repeat steps 1-8 until all blades are adjusted.
