Fan Removal and

Replacement

The fan consists of a motor and impeller assembly. To replace the
fan it is necessary to remove the fan exhaust hood and top plate of its
cabinet.

Safety notes


Fan replacement requires working at a significant height from the
floor. Care should be taken to make a suitable platform from which
to work.


The fan motor is heavy and will require suitable lifting provision.

Ensure that fan power is locked out during fan maintenance.


Remove the eight nuts that secure the motor frame to the sidesheets
of the cabinet. Disconnect the power leads to the motor. Note the
terminal locations so that proper fan rotation is maintained.


To extract the fan, lifting hooks are placed in the holes of the motor
mounting brackets and the assembly is withdrawn vertically from the
cabinet. Do not support the assembly on the impeller or damage may
result.
