sealed, permanently lubricated bearings that require no
further lubrication. Size 14--16 units have pillow--block
bearings (Fig. 23) that must be lubricated with suitable
bearing grease approximately every 3 months. See Table 7
for suitable lubricants.

Centering Fan Wheel -- If fan and fan shaft assembly are
not properly centered, blades may scrape against the
blower side scroll plate or may create an objectionable
whistling noise. It may be necessary to adjust individual
fan wheels or move entire fan shaft. See the following two
sections.
Fan Shaft Position Adjustment -- Loosen setscrew or
locking collar of each fan shaft bearing. Slide shaft into
correct position and replace locking collar (Fig. 24). To
replace locking collar, push collar up against inner face of
bearing. Turn collar in direction of fan rotation until tight,
and tighten setscrew. Tightening locking collar in
direction of fan rotation results in further tightening of
collar should setscrew work itself loose.
