BELT DRIVE SQUARE INLINE BLOWERS
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS AND PARTS MANUAL
General Safety
Rotating parts, (pulleys, shafts and belts) on fans, should not be exposed. Where these components
are not protected by ductwork, cabinets or covers, appropriate guards should be employed to restrict
exposure to rotating parts. Access doors should never be opened with the fan running to avoid the
sucking in foreign objects into the system. On initial start up, a careful inspection should be carried
out to ensure no foreign material is present which could become airborne in the system.
Read installation and operation instructions carefully before attempting to install, operate or service.
Failure to comply with instructions could result in personal injury and/or property damage. Retain
instructions for future reference.

Inspect unit for damage, report any shipping damage to carrier. Check all fasteners, retighten as required. Rotate the blower wheel by hand to ensure free rotation If rubbing
occurs, loosen the set screw(s), re-position the wheel to establish clearance, re-tighten
set screws.
Installation (Fig. 1)
The (4) angle brackets provided allow for base or suspension mounting
Suspension Mounting
For suspension mounting, install the (4) angle iron mounting brackets in the 4 upper corners (front &
rear or both sides ) using the hardware provided, secure the unit to 4 customer provided suspension
rods.
Base Mounting
For base mounting, install the (4) angle iron mounting brackets in the 4 lower corners (front & rear or
both sides) and secure to customer supplied base.
Vibration Isolation (not included)
Recommended (spring or rubber) for both suspension or base mount

Motor, Pulleys & Belts
1. Select the appropriate drive set (motor, sheaves
& belts) from the drive table (page 3) to obtain the
blower RPM that will deliver the design
performance (CFM & SP).
2. Remove the access panel from the drive compartment to expose the blower shaft. Mount the
blower sheave on the shaft end and tighten the
setscrew securely.
3. Remove the motor compartment cover to expose
the motor mounting platform. Secure the motor to
the platform, mount the adjustable motor pulley to
the shaft end, align with the blower pulley using a
straight edge ( see Fig. 2) and tighten the setscrew to secure the pulley to the motor shaft.
4. Install the belt(s) and raise the end of the pivoting
motor platform to tension the belt and secure the
platform in place with the positioning screws located on both sides of the platform.
DO NOT OVER TENSION
Belt Tension & Alignment
Warning
EXCESSIVE BELT TENSION IS THE MOST FREQUENT CAUSE
OF BEARING WEAR AND RESULTING NOISE.
PROPER BELT TENSION IS CRITICAL
FOR QUIET EFFICIENT OPERATION
Belt Alignment

Ideal belt tension is the lowest value under which belt slip will
not occur at peak load conditions
Correct Wrong Wrong
Electrical
Warning:
Before connecting the motor to the electrical supply, check the electrical characteristics and wiring instructions as indicated
on the motor nameplate or inside the conduit box cover to ensure proper voltage and phase. Complete electrical connections as indicated.
Ensure power supply is disconnected & locked out prior to making electrical connections
Warning:
A ground wire must be connected from the motor housing to a suitable electrical ground.
Operation
1. After electrical connections are completed, energize the unit momentarily and ensure proper wheel rotation.
2. Apply full power.
3. With the air system in full operation, all ducts attached and both access doors in place, measure the motor current
and ensure that it is less than the rated full load motor amperage as indicated on the motor nameplate.
