TROUBLESHOOTING THE CLEANING MECHANISM
1. Fan - If the fan is not operating properly please refer to the New York Blower
manual located in this IOM manual. Verify rotation direction of fan wheel – CCW
as viewed from the fan inlet.
2. Sweep Arm Drive – Motor not rotating.
A. Remove the motor from the gear drive and check for proper operation. If
the motor does not rotate, repair or replace.
B. If the motor does rotate properly check for binding or roughness in the
gear drive. Repair or replace one or both gear boxes as necessary.
3. Sweep Arm Drive – Motor rotating and sweep arm not rotating or rotating
intermittently.
A. Enter the clean air plenum and check for obstructions in the path of the
rotating sweep arm. Remove any obstructions
B. Verify that the sweep arm is rotating parallel to the tubesheet and that the
nozzles do not strike the cage tops and cause the sweep arm to stop. If this
is not the case call the factory.
C. Verify that all rows have a cleaning nozzle above them to provide
complete cleaning.
D. Verify that the torque limiting clutch on the small sprocket is slipping.
E. Verify that the chain is not binding. If it is then check the sprocket
alignment.
F. Disconnect the drive chain. The sweep arm should rotate freely and with
no binding or roughness. If binding is experienced grease the rotary union.
If the binding or roughness continues inspect the bearing and replace if
necessary.
