115 and 230 Single Phase Motors
Fan wheel rotation is set correctly at the factory. Chang-
ing the rotation of this type of motor should only be
attempted by a qualified electrician.
208, 230, and 460, 3 Phase Motors
These motors are electrically reversible by switching two
of the supply leads. For this reason, the rotation of the fan
cannot be restricted to one direction at the factory. See
Wiring Diagrams on page 3 for specific information on
reversing wheel direction.
NOTICE! Do not allow the fan to run in the wrong
direction. This will overheat the motor and cause seri-
ous damage. For 3-phase motors, if the fan is running
in the wrong direction, check the control switch. It is
possible to interchange two leads at this location so
that the fan is operating in the correct direction.
Belt and Pulley Installation
Belt tension is determined by the sound the belts make
when the fan is first started. Belts will produce a loud
squeal which dissipates after the fan is operating at full
capacity. If the belt tension is too tight or too loose, lost effi-
ciency and possible damage can occur.
Do not change the pulley pitch diameter to change ten-
sion. This will result in a different fan speed than desired.
a. Loosen motor plate adjustment bolts and move motor
in order that the belts can easily slip into the grooves
on the pulleys. Never pry, roll, or force the belts over
the rim of the pulley.
b. Adjust the motor back until proper tension is reached.
For proper tension a deflection of approximately 1/4”
per foot of center distance should be obtained by
firmly pressing the belt. Refer to figure 3.
c. Tighten the motor base nuts.
d. Ensure pulleys are properly aligned. Refer to Figure 4.

Pulley Alignment
Pulley alignment is adjusted by loosen-
ing the motor pulley setscrew and by
moving the motor pulley on the motor
shaft.
Figure 4 indicates where to measure
the allowable gap for the drive alignment
tolerance. All contact points (indicated
by WXYZ) are to have a gap less than
the tolerance shown in the table. When
the pulleys are not the same width, the
allowable gap must be adjusted by half of the difference in
width (As shown in A & B of Figure 4). Figure 5 illustrates
using a carpenter’s square to adjust the position of the
motor pulley until the belt is parallel to the longer leg of the
square.
Final Installation Steps
a. Inspect fasteners and setscrews, particularly fan
mounting and bearing fasteners, and tighten accord-
ing to the recommended torque shown in the table
Recommended Torque for Setscrews/Bolts.
b. Inspect for correct voltage with voltmeter.
c. Ensure all accessories are installed.
Operation
Pre-Start Checks
a. Lock out all the primary and secondary power
sources.
b. Ensure fasteners and setscrews, particularly those
used for mounting the fan, are tightened.
c. Inspect belt tension and pulley alignment.
d. Inspect motor wiring.
e. Ensure belt touches only the pulleys.
f. Ensure fan and ductwork are clean and free of debris.
g. Inspect wheel-to-inlet clearance. The correct wheel-
to-inlet clearance is critical to proper fan performance.
h. Close and secure all access doors.
i. Restore power to the fan.
