Lubrication

MOTORS — Lubricate in accordance with nameplate at-

tached to motor or with manufacturer’s recommendations

included with motor.
BEARINGS
Fan Bearings — Lubricate fan bearings every 3 months

with suitable bearing grease. Typical lubricants are given in

Table 13.
Inlet Vane and Outlet Damper Bearings — These bearings

are oil-impregnated. Annually lubricate with a few drops of

nondetergent SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) 20 oil.

Table 13 — Lubricant Data

*Preferred lubricant because it contains rust and oxi-

dation inhibitors.

IMPORTANT: Replacement shafts must have a diam-
eter tolerance at bearing mount of

nominal.

Carrier-specified parts are recommended.
