Read installation and operation instructions carefully before attempting to install, operate or service DELHI 300 SERIES
BLOWERS. Failure to comply with instructions could result in personal injury and/or property damage. Retain
for future reference.
Figure 1: DELHI 300 SERIES
DELHI 300 Series Blowers are designed as a quiet and efficient outdoor roof
exhauster for high-rise apartments, schools, and commercial industrial
applications. These forward curved, double inlet blowers are enclosed in a
sturdy insulated steel cabinet c/w a recessed bottom for mounting to an
existing curb, with discharge in any of four positions. These blowers are belt
drive and may be installed with or without back draft dampers.
Motor, drive installations and servicing may be completed through a
removable top cover.
Prelubricated ball bearings, motor bracket, back draft dampers and
hardware, motor adjustment hardware and a dynamically balanced wheel are
standard equipment. Operating temperature range is -65 to 250 deg. F.

Once the packaging has been removed inspect the unit carefully. Check for loose, missing, or damaged parts. Rotate
the wheel by hand to ensure the wheel spins freely. Tighten all set screws.
1
disconnect in the open position and tag to prevent unauthorized application of power.
2
Follow all local and national electrical and safety codes.
3
Blower must be electrically grounded. This can be accomplished by using a separate ground wire connected
to the bare metal of blower frame, or other suitable means.
4
Ensure that the power source conforms to the requirements of your equipment.
5
Do not put hands near or allow loose and hanging clothing to be near belts, pulleys, or blower wheel while the
unit is running.
NOTE: Check the interior of the blower housing. It should be clean and free of debris.
1
Rotate the blower wheel by hand. It should not rub against the housing inlet. If rubbing occurs, loosen the set
screws on the wheel hub and shift the wheel to obtain clearance. Retighten all set screws.

discharge baffle with subsequent dampers overlapping the
previous damper, until the top of the discharge is reached.
Use the #8 x 1-1/4" screws provided to secure the damper
into position with the brake facing inward. Insert the
screws through the plastic snap bushing located on either
side of the blower discharge into the shutter recess.
Maintain that each damper installed rotates freely within
the snap bushing. (See Figure 2)
4
Insert the exhaust cowl (air direction downward) into the
channels provided on either side of the exhaust port.
5
Mount the blower sheave on the blower shaft and tighten
its set screw securely on the key of the shaft. (See Table
1 for Drive Data)
6
Mount the motor sheave on the motor shaft. Leave some
clearance between the pulley and the motor end bell.
Tighten the set screws on the key of the motor shaft.
7
Slide the square head bolts into the channel provided in
the motor bracket. Place the motor into position, finger
tighten the nuts to temporarily secure the motor. Attach
the motor adjustment (belt tension) assembly.
WHEEL ROTATION
8
With the motor adjusting bolt in its minimum position install the V belt within the sheave grooves. Slide the motor within the
motor bracket to ensure proper pulley alignment (see Figure 3). A straight edge across the face of the driven pulley should be
parallel to the belt once proper alignment has been achieved. Tighten the nuts on the motor base to anchor the motor position

NOTE: Pulley alignment may change when adjusting variable pitch pulleys.

slip during start up. A rule of thumb suggests that 3/4" of deflection mid span under medium finger pressure (2-3 lbs.) for every
foot of span is approximately proper belt tension. Lock the motor adjustment (belt tension) assembly once proper belt tension
has been achieved.
NOISE
10
Before connecting the motor to the electrical supply, check the electrical characteristics and wiring instructions as indicated on
the motor nameplate to ensure proper voltage and phase. Make your electrical connections.

1
After electrical connections are completed, energize the unit momentarily and ensure that the rotation of the wheel is correct (see Figure 2). Apply full
power.
2
With the air system in full operation, all ducts attached and top cover in place, measure current input to the motor and ensure that it is less than the
rated full load motor amperage.
3
Proper adjustment to the belt tension is critical for quiet efficient operation.
4
Replace the top cover for proper operation of this unit. NOTE: When replacing the top cover ensure that the spring steel nut is positioned over the top
flange of the cowl such that when the top cover has been replaced, the two fasteners secure the cowl and top cover to the cabinet (See Figure 6).
1
Inspect and tighten all bearing collar and wheel set screws after the first 50 to 100 hours of operation and periodically thereafter.
2
Follow motor manufacturer's instructions for motor lubrication. Remove any excess lubrication.
3
Check the drives.
a. Tighten set screws on sheaves, wheel and bearing locking collars.
b. Check belt tension and alignment.
c. Replace cracked or worn belts.
4
Check wiring to be sure it is secure and well insulated.
5
Blower bearings are permanently lubricated and require no further lubrication.
6
Inspect V-belts for wear and proper tension. If it is necessary to replace one belt on a multiple belt drive, replace all the belts with a matched set. Do
not use belt dressing.
7
Clean the blower wheel periodically. Material build up on the blades can cause wheel imbalance which may result in wheel or bearing failure.
8
To reinstall replacement ball bearings press the locking collar against the inner ring of the bearing and turn in the direction of the shaft rotation until
engaged. Insert a drift pin into the pin hole and tap lightly to set. Tighten set screw on locking collar firmly (see Figure 4).
9
Should further service to the blower be necessary, refer to the exploded view illustration. (See Figure 5).
