Curb and Ductwork
This fan was specified for a specific CFM and static pressure. The ductwork attached to this unit will significantly affect airflow performance. When using rectangular ductwork, elbows must be radius throat, radius back with turning vanes. Fl exible ductwork and square throat/square back elbows should not be used . Any transitions and/or turns in the ductwork near the fan outlet will cause system effect. System effect will drastically increase the static pressure and reduce airflow.
•
Table 1 shows the minimum fan outlet duct sizes and straight lengths required for optimal fan
performance.
• Do not use the unit to support ductwork in any way. This may cause damage to the unit.
• Follow SMACNA standards and manufacturer's requirements for the duct run s . Fans designed for rooftop installation should be installed on a prefabricated or factory-built roof curb.
• Follow curb manufacturer’s instructions for proper curb installation.
• The unit should be installed on a curb and/or rail that meets local code height requirements.
• Make sure the duct connection and fan outlet are properly aligned and sealed.
• Secure fan to curb through vertical portion of the ventilator base assembly flange. Use a minimum of eight (8) lug screws, anchor bolts, or other suitable fasteners (not furnished). Shims may be required depending upon curb installation and roofing material.
• Verify all fasteners are secure.
Figure 3 and Figure 4 show different mechanical installations.
• Adequate building relief shall be provided so as not to over pressurize the building when the heating system is operating at its rated capacity. This can be accomplished by taking into account, through standard engineering methods, the structure’s designed infiltration rate; by providing properly-sized relief openings; or by interlocking a powered exhaust system; or by a combination of these methods.
• Heaters installed with intake ductwork must be purged to replace at least four air changes of the volume of the intake duct.
• If the failure or malfunction of this heater creates a hazard to other fuel-burning equipment in the building (e.g., when the heater is providing makeup air to a boiler room), the unit is to be interlocked to open inlet air dampers or other such devices.
• On outdoor installations, it is recommended that the discharge duct be insulated to prevent condensation during the “OFF” cycle in cold weather.
• Flexible connectors should be used on all ductwork connections. Vibration isolators are optional and can be supplied in the loose parts package.
• Units that are installed in airplane hangars should be installed in accordance with the Standard for
Aircraft Hangars, ANSI/NFPA 409. Units that are to be installed in public garages should be installed in accordance with the Standard for Parking Structures, ANSI/NFPA 88A, or the Standard for Repair

Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) Motor Speed Control
Figure 7 - PSC Motor Speed Control
Some single-phase direct-drive fans contain speed controls that regulate the amount of voltage going to the motor. Specific PSC motors must be used in conjunction with speed controls. The speed control has a knob (
Figure 7 ) with an off position along
with high to low range. At high speed, the speed control allows all of the line voltage to pass directly to the motor.
Vari-Speed
HIGH
LO
W
A minimum speed adjustment is provided to allow independent control of the minimum speed setting. Minimum speed adjustment ensures the motor runs with sufficient torque to prevent stalling. To adjust this:
OFF
SOLID STATE SPEED CONTROL
1. Motor must be in actual operating conditions to achieve proper speed adjustment. Motor will not slow down unless proper load is applied.
2. Turn main control knob to lowest speed position.
3. Locate and adjust minimum speed setting. This can be found under the speed control faceplate. Use a small screwdriver to adjust. Rotate clockwise to decrease minimum speed; counter-clockwise to increase minimum speed.
4. Motor will now operate from this preset minimum speed to full speed.
The lowest minimum voltage that may be applied to these motors is 65V AC. Running lower voltages to the motor can cause premature failure and overheating problems.
13
Electronically Commutated Motor (ECM) Speed Control
An Electrically Commutated Motor (ECM) with speed control allows for an accurate manual adjustment of the fan’s speed. The benefits of using an EC motor is exceptional efficiency, performance, and motor life.
External PWM Signal
The fan unit will be shipped with power wiring and communication wiring fed to an internal junction box.
The fan is shipped with Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) wire which is used to wire to a remote PWM signal.
Red wire is used to go to the positive PWM signal, black wire is used to go to the negative PWM signal.
Reference schematics for all wiring connections. STP is connected to the communication wiring of the motor using wire nuts in the junction box. If a preset length of STP is provided, it will be connected to the junction box from the factory. Run the STP through any available knockout in the fan base.
Unit Mount Controller
The RTC speed controller features a 4 digit LED display with a five button interface. All parameters can be accessed through the user menu. The percent of run speed can be changed by using the Up and Down buttons followed by pressing Enter (middle button) to save changes. Every ten seconds the display will toggle between current percentage of run speed and current RPMs. The flow index has a range of 0-100% and is typically linear with motor RPM.
If the remote function (re) is enabled, the speed is controlled through a 0-10V input. 0V = 0% and 10V =
100% , unless overridden by the low speed and high speed limits.
The speed controller requires a 24V AC input and can locally turn the motor on and off. The motor RPM range is fully adjustable between the minimum and maximum setpoints, see LSPD and HSPD on the programming display. For more information, see the RTC control operating manual.
For all motors except 16Z, 18Z, 20Z, 22Z, 25Z, 28Z: If “oFF” is being displayed, and the speed is set above 300 RPM, the ECM is not receiving RPM feedback. Check that the ECM is wired correctly. Check that the motor “tyP” in the settings matches the motor manufacturer. 16Z, 18Z, 20Z, 22Z, 25Z, 28Z do not send RPM feedback.
NOTE: A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is required to adjust the speed control of a nonelectrically commutated 3-phase direct-drive motor.

Motorized Intake Damper
On units shipped with the optional motorized intake damper, a power transformer is supplied with the unit if the main incoming voltage is greater than 120V. The damper motor is automatically energized when the main disconnect switch is in the ON position. No external wiring to the damper motor is required.
Electric Cabinet Heater
On units shipped with an optional electric cabinet heater, ensure that the heater is wired to a separate
120V, 15 amp input, the thermostat sensing bulb is mounted correctly in the control vestibule where the heater is located, and the thermostat set to 0 Degrees Fahrenheit.

WARNING!!
- Before installing the VFD drive, ensure the input power supply to the drive is OFF.
- The power supply and motor wiring of the VFD must be completed by a qualified electrician.
- The VFD is factory programmed, only change if replaced or ordered separately.
Consult the VFD manual and all documentation shipped with the unit for proper installation and wiring of
the VFD. The VFD has been programmed by the factory with ordered specific parameters. Use Table 5 as
a guide during installation.

21
Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Installation
Input AC Power
• Circuit breakers feeding the VFDs are recommended to be thermal-magnetic and fast-acting. They should be sized based on the VFD amperage and according to
. Refer to the installation schematic for exact breaker sizing.
• Every VFD should receive power from its own breaker. If multiple VFDs are to be combined on the same breaker, each drive should have its own protection measure (fuses or miniature circuit breaker) downstream from the breaker.
• Input AC line wires should be routed in conduit from the breaker panel to the drives. AC input power to multiple VFDs can be run in a single conduit if needed. Do not combine input and output power cables in the same conduit.
• The VFD should be grounded on the terminal marked PE. A separate insulated ground wire must be provided to each VFD from the electrical panel. This will reduce the noise being radiated in other equipment.
ATTENTION: Do not connect incoming AC power to output terminals U, V, W. Severe damage to the drive will result. Input power must always be wired to the input L terminal connections (L1, L2, L3).
VFD Output Power
• Motor wires from each VFD to its respective motor MUST be routed in a separate steel conduit away from control wiring and incoming AC power wiring. This is to avoid noise and crosstalk between drives.
An insulated ground must be run from each VFD to its respective motor. Do not run different fan output power cables in the same conduit.
• VFD mounted in ECP: A load reactor should be used and sized accordingly when the distance between the VFD and motor is greater than specified below. The load reactor should be installed within
10 feet of the VFD output:
575/600V - Load reactor should be used when distance exceeds 25 feet.
• VFD mounted in fan: The load reactor should be sized accordingly when the VFD is mounted in the fan.
208/230V - Load reactor should be used when distance exceeds 250 feet.
460/480V - Load reactor should be used when distance exceeds 50 feet.
208/230V - Load reactor is optional but recommended for 15 HP and above motors.
460/480V - Load reactor is optional but recommended for 7.5 HP and above motors.
575/600V - Load reactors are required for all HP motors.
• If the distance between the VFD and the motor is extremely long, up to 1000 FT, a dV/dT filter should be used, and the VFD should be increased by 1 HP or to the next size VFD. The dV/dT filter should be sized accordingly and installed within 10 feet of the output of the VFD.
208/230V – dV/dT filter should be used when distance exceeds 400 feet.
460/480V – dV/dT filter should be used when distance exceeds 250 feet.
575/600V – dV/dT filter should be used when distance exceeds 150 feet.
• Do not install a contactor between the drive and the motor. Operating such a device while the drive is running can potentially cause damage to the power components of the drive.
• When a disconnect switch is installed between the drive and motor, the disconnect should only be operated when the drive is in a STOP state.

START-UP OPERATION
Before starting up or operating the unit, verify all fasteners are secure and tight. Check the set screw in the wheel hub, bearings, and the fan sheaves (pulleys). With power and gas OFF to the unit or before connecting the unit to power, turn the fan wheel by hand. Verify it is not striking the inlet or any obstructions. If necessary, re-center.
Special Tools Required: Standard Hand Tools, AC Voltage Meter, Tachometer, Amperage Meter,
Manometer, Differential Pressure Gauge
Start-up Procedure
1. Check all electrical connections are secure and tight.
2. Check pulley alignment and belt tension. Refer to
“Pulley Alignment/Proper Belt Tension” on page 30 .
3. Inspect the condition of the intake damper and damper linkage, if applicable.
4. Remove intake filters if not already installed, inspect the air stream for obstructions. Install intake filters.
5. Compare the supplied motor voltage with the fan’s nameplate voltage. If this does not match, correct the problem.
6. Place the external disconnect to the ON position to start the unit. Immediately place the disconnect switch off. Check the rotation of the fan with the directional arrow on the blower scroll. Reversed rotation will result in poor air performance, motor overloading and possible burnout. For units equipped with a single-phase motor, check the motor wiring diagram to change rotation. For 3-phase motors, any two power leads can be interchanged to reverse motor direction.
7. When the fan is started, observe the operation and check for any unusual noises.
8. Place the external disconnect switch back to the ON position. The system should be in full operation with all ducts attached. Measure the system airflow. The motor sheave (pulley) is variable pitch and allows for an increase or decrease of the fan RPM. If an adjustment is needed, refer to
. Refer to “Pulley Combination Chart” on page 28 for adjustment specifications.
9. Once the proper airflow is achieved, measure and record the fan speed with a reliable tachometer.
Caution - Excessive speed will result in motor overloading or bearing failure.
Do not set fan
RPMs higher than specified in the maximum RPM chart.
Refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 37
for more information.
10. Measure and record the voltage and amperage to the motor. Compare with the motor’s nameplate to determine if the motor is operating under safe load conditions. Once the RPM of the ventilator has
been properly set, disconnect power. Re-check belt tension and pulley alignment, refer to “Pulley
Alignment/Proper Belt Tension” on page 30 .
25
Pilot Adjustment
1. Restart the fan and check the gas supply pressure at the inlet gas gauge upstream of all electronic valves. The inlet pressure should be 5-14 inches wc . If the inlet pressure is too high, install an additional pressure regulator external to the unit.
2. Open the field-installed manual gas shut-off valve and the manual main gas valve on the combination gas control valve.
3. Close the ball valve located inside the cabinet.
4. Call for heat with the intake air thermostat (turn set-point to temperature above outside air) and allow the pilot to light. If the pilot does not light, purge the pilot line. If air purging is required, disconnect the pilot line at the outlet of the pilot valve.
5. Check the pilot flame voltage at the Flame Safety Control interface test jacks. A weak pilot flame can be caused by low gas pressure, or a dirty pilot orifice.
6. To adjust the pilot flame, remove the cap from the pilot adjustment screw on the combination gas valve. Increase the pilot gas flow by turning the screw counter-clockwise. Decrease the pilot gas flow by turning the screw clockwise. The pilot DC voltage should read 12V DC minimum and should typically be 15V DC .
7. Once the pilot has been established, open the main manual gas shut-off valve downstream of the electronic valves. Check to make sure that the main gas valve opens, and gas flows to the burner.

Main Burner Adjustment
1. Once the pilot has been properly established, the manifold gas pressure or temperature rise should be adjusted to nameplate or design specifications. The gas pressure regulator is adjusted at the factory for average gas conditions. It is important that the gas supplied to the burner is in accordance with the input rating on the rating plate.
See “Gas Pressure” on page 10.
2. Create a high fire call for heat. This should be done with the blower on and all gas controls on. High fire can be achieved by removing the wire at terminal #4 (remove wires #2 and #4 for Maxitrol 44 systems) from the Maxitrol 14 amplifier.
3. The manifold pressure should be checked at the pressure gauge downstream of the modulating valve.
Figure 16 indicates the proper manifold pressure for the desired amount of BTUs per foot of burner.
For natural gas systems, the high fire manifold pressure should not exceed 5 inches wc . For propane gas, the high fire manifold pressure should not exceed 2.5 inches wc .
Another method of checking high fire is to measure the temperature rise of the unit. The temperature rise should be set to design specifications and typically is minimum 70°F.
4. Every unit has a specific design manifold gas pressure based on CFM and temperature rise. Refer to the unit’s nameplate for the design manifold gas pressure.
5. Remove the cap from the combination gas valve for regulator adjustment.
6. Use the regulator pressure adjusting screw to adjust the high fire manifold pressure to design temperature rise ( 5 inches wc maximum for natural gas and 2.5 inches wc maximum for propane gas). High fire should be set to generate the design temperature rise. If the high fire screw is at the end of its adjustment and more pressure is needed, then adjust the main building gas pressure regulator spring (located external to the unit) to achieve the proper manifold pressure. Turning the regulator screw clockwise will increase pressure and counter-clockwise will decrease pressure.
7. Reconnect the wire on the Maxitrol 14 amplifier at terminal #4 (wires #2 and #4 for Maxitrol 44).
8. The low fire manifold pressure must now be set. Low fire can be achieved by removing the wire at terminal #5 from the Maxitrol 14 amplifier (remove #8 for Maxitrol 44).
9. Locate the bypass screw (under the cap of the valve - location #1), refer to Figure 15
.
10. Adjust the low fire manifold pressure until there is a very thin flame along the entire length of the burner. No dark spots should be seen in the burner. The burner may be observed through the viewport located on the external wall of the heater. Replace the cap to the valve. Make sure all wiring and gas components are connected and operational.
11. A final gas leak check shall be performed to verify the gas-tightness of the heater’s components and piping under normal operating conditions. This can be done by measuring the gas pressure at the
1/4” gas plug just downstream of the modulating valve.

Final Start-up Procedure
1. With the air and burner systems in full operation and all ducts attached, measure the system airflow.
The motor sheave (pulley) is variable pitch and allows for an increase or decrease of the fan RPM. If
an adjustment is needed, refer to “Pulley Adjustment” on page 29
.
2. Once the proper airflow is achieved, measure and record the fan speed with a reliable tachometer.
Caution - Excessive speed will result in motor overloading or bearing failure. Do not set fan
RPM higher than specified in the maximum RPM chart. See the troubleshooting guide for more information.
3. Measure and record the voltage and amperage to the motor and compare with the motor nameplate to determine if the motor is operating under safe load condition.
4. Once the rpm of the wheel has been properly set, disconnect power and recheck belt tension and
pulley alignment, refer to Figure 18 .

Pulley Adjustment
closing or decreased by opening the adjustable motor sheave. Two groove variable pitch pulleys must be adjusted to an equal number of turns open or closed. Any increase in speed represents a substantial increase in horsepower required by the unit. Motor amperage should always be checked to avoid serious damage to the motor when the speed is varied. Always torque set screws according to the torque
specifications shown in Figure 17
.

Pulley Alignment/Proper Belt Tension
1. Belts tend to stretch and settle into pulleys after an initial start-up sequence. Do not tension belts by changing the setting of the motor pulley , this will change the fan speed and may damage the motor.
• To re-tension belts, turn OFF power to the fan motor.
• Loosen the fasteners that hold the blower scroll plate to the blower.
• Rotate the motor to the left or right to adjust the belt tension. Belt tension should be adjusted to allow 1/64” of deflection per inch of belt span. Use extreme care when adjusting V-belts as not to misalign pulleys. Any misalignment will cause a sharp reduction in belt life and produce squeaky noises. Over-tightening will cause excessive belt and bearing wear as well as noise. Too little tension will cause slippage at startup and uneven wear.
• Whenever belts are removed or installed, never force belts over pulleys without loosening motor first to relieve belt tension. When replacing belts, use the same type as supplied by the manufacturer. On units shipped with double groove pulleys, matched belts should always be used.
2. All fasteners should be checked for tightness each time maintenance checks are performed before restarting unit.
Belt tension examples:
• Belt span 12” = 3/16” deflection
• Belt span 32” = 1/2” deflection

Sequence of Operation
To better understand the heater, it is easier to break the unit out into smaller individual systems. There are two main systems, a make-up air fan, and a heater. The make-up air fan consists of a blower and motor.
The heater may be further broken down into two control systems, the Flame Safety Control (FSC) and the
Modulating Gas System (MGS). The burner mixes air with the gas (Natural or LP), which heats the air.
Flame Safety Control
The first system to understand is the Flame Safety Controller. The FSC is there only to monitor the flame,
NOT to control the temperature. The FSC uses a flame rectification sensor mounted on the pilot assembly to detect the presence of flame in the burner.
The FSC also works with the airflow sensor, which relays if there is proper airflow through the unit (not just any airflow, but proper airflow). Proper airflow occurs when there is a .15” w.c. to .80” w.c. differential pressure drop across the burner . The FSC controls the opening of the redundant solenoid gas valves and the operation of the spark igniter to initiate a pilot flame upon start-up.
Upon a call for heat, there is a 15 second Pilot Trial For Ignition (PTFI). During PTFI, the FSC opens the pilot gas valve and allows gas to flow to the pilot assembly. At the same moment, the spark igniter is started, causing the spark to ignite the pilot gas. When the flame rod sensor detects the flame it powers the modulating gas system. This is the normal operating mode. The FSC continues to monitor the flame and airflow. Once this occurs, the unit is in a main flame cycle and thus powers the main gas valve and the modulating gas system. This is the normal operating mode. The FSC continues to monitor the flame and airflow. If the flame fails to light after 15 seconds of sparking, the FSC goes in to lock-out mode. Anytime this occurs, the problem must be diagnosed and corrected to avoid future lockouts after resetting. To begin troubleshooting, or to reset the FSC, shut down power to the heater and restart the heater. This will clear the alarm from the flame safety.

Air Flow Switch
There are both high and low airflow switches contained within one housing
(
Figure 20 ) measuring the pressure drop across the burner. This is to
ensure that there is proper airflow (.15 inches wc to .80 inches wc ) across the burner and proper combustion at all times. Both switches are wired in series and have single pole double throw (one common contact, one normally open contact, and one normally closed contact) switches that are
‘switched’ by air pressure.
There are two airflow tubes in the heater, located near the burner and profile plate assembly (profile plates surround the burner and control air into the burner section). In the case of clogged filters, blocked intake, excessive duct static pressure, or a broken belt, the correct burner differential pressure may not be achieved, not allowing the low airflow switch to close. The high airflow switch protects against profile plate failures that cause excessive airflow through the burner. In the event that the pressure drop across the burner is not in the range of the airflow switch, gas flow to the burner is stopped by the
Flame Safety Control.
The graph in Figure 21 illustrates the approximate CFM going through the
unit vs. the differential pressure measured by the airflow switch. Simply measure the differential profile pressure drop at the airflow tubes in the unit and match that value up to the matching unit curve below. This will show the
CFMs traveling through the burner and will indicate proper airflow or airflow problems (too much or not enough).
If the pressure drop is outside of the
.15” to .80” range, the blower RPM should be adjusted to fix airflow .

Modulating Gas System
The second system, the modulating gas system, consists of a temperature selector dial, a discharge air sensor, an amplifier, and a modulating gas valve. The two types of modulating gas systems used are the
Maxitrol 14 or RTC Solutions controls and the Maxitrol 44 series. The Maxitrol 14/RTC utilizes a discharge air sensor and modulates the Maxitrol gas valve to provide discharge air to match the selected temperature on the temperature selector. The Maxitrol 44 utilizes a room temperature sensor to control room temperature as well as a discharge air sensor in order to control the discharge air temperature. The modulating gas valve controls the amount of gas flow to the burner based on the temperature rise needed.
When the modulating gas valve is all the way open and achieving the maximum BTUs and temperature rise of the unit, it is called “high fire”.

High Temperature Limit
One of the backup safety devices is the high temperature limit switch. This switch is a mechanical thermostat that measures the temperature inside the unit downstream of the burner. If the factory-set temperature of 180°F is exceeded, it will signal the FSC to turn off the burner. This requires a manual reset of the high temperature limit. This ensures that the discharge does not exceed 185°F.

Manual/Off/Auto Switch - Used to control blower operation and tempering mode of unit. The AUTO position allows the unit to “decide”, through the use of the intake air thermostat, whether or not heating is needed. The MANUAL position allows the user to control whether or not heat is needed. The OFF position will turn the blower off when a “3 Position” remote panel is ordered. The OFF position will disable all temperature controls when a “2 Position” remote panel is ordered and fan power is then controlled by the pre-wire package only.
2.
Lights Displays the current status of unit features. The light definitions are as follows:
POWER - Illuminated when there is power to the remote panel.
BLOWER ON - Illuminated when the blower motor is powered.
BURNER ON - Illuminates after pilot flame has established and main valve is powered.
FLAME FAILURE - Illuminated when the Flame Safety Control is in alarm mode.
CLOGGED FILTER – (Optional) Illuminated when the intake filters are dirty.
3.
Temperature Control Controls the discharge temperature of a standard unit. The temperature dial is replaced with a Maxitrol Selectrastat in space heating applications and is used to control the space temperature.
4.
Heat/Vent Switch - This switch is powered when the Manual/Off/Auto switch is in the MANUAL position.
It is used to control the tempering mode of the unit. The VENT position will prevent the burner from operating and the heater will deliver untempered air. The HEAT position will force the burner on and the unit will heat the incoming air. This switch becomes a Heat/Vent/Cool switch when the cooling interlock is ordered. This option provides a 120V cooling output from the remote panel.

MAINTENANCE
To guarantee trouble-free operation of this heater, the manufacturer suggests following these guidelines.
Most problems associated with fan failures are directly related to poor service and maintenance.
Please record any maintenance or service performed on this fan in the documentation section located at the end of this manual.
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT MAINTENANCE ON THE HEATER UNTIL THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
HAS BEEN COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED AND THE MAIN GAS SUPPLY VALVE HAS BEEN SHUT
OFF.
General Maintenance
1. Fan inlet and approaches to ventilator should be kept clean and free from any obstruction.
2. All fasteners and electrical connections should be checked for tightness each time maintenance checks are performed before restarting unit.
3. These units require very little attention when moving clean air. Occasionally oil and dust may accumulate, causing imbalance. If the fan is installed in a corrosive or dirty atmosphere, periodically inspect and clean the wheel, inlet, and other moving parts to ensure smooth and safe operation.
4. Motors are normally permanently lubricated. Caution: Use care when touching the exterior of an operating motor. Components may be hot enough to burn or cause injury.
5. If bearings require lubrication, very little is needed. A general rule is one-half pump from a grease gun for 1/2” to 1-7/16” shaft diameters and one full pump for 1-11/16” and large diameter shafts for every
1500 to 3000 hours of operation. A lithium-based grease should be used. Bearings should be rotated as they are lubricated to evenly distribute the grease, either by hand or via extended grease lines. Do not attempt to grease bearings from inside the enclosure while the motor is energized. Caution:
Bearings are sealed, over-greasing can cause damage to the bearings. Do not grease until grease comes out of seals. Only add the appropriate amount of grease.
2 Weeks After Start-up
1. Belt tension should be checked after the first 2 weeks of fan operation.
Proper Belt Tension” on page 30.
2. All fasteners should be checked for tightness each time maintenance checks are performed before restarting unit.
Every 3 Months
1. Belt tension should be checked quarterly. See “Pulley Alignment/Proper Belt Tension” on page 30.
Over-tightening will cause excessive bearing wear and noise. Too little tension will cause slippage at start-up and uneven wear.
2. Filters need to be cleaned and/or replaced quarterly, and more often in severe conditions. Washable filters can be washed in warm soapy water. When re-installing filters, be sure to install with the airflow in the correct direction as indicated on the filter.
Yearly
1. Inspect bearings for wear and deterioration. Replace if necessary.
2. Inspect belt wear and replace torn or worn belts.
3. Inspect bolts and set screws for tightness. Tighten as necessary.
4. Inspect motor for cleanliness. Clean exterior surfaces only. Remove dust and grease from the motor housing to ensure proper motor cooling. Remove dirt from the wheel and housing to prevent imbalance and damage.
5. Check for gas leak and repair if present.
6. Clean flame sensor by rubbing with steel wool to remove any rust build-up.
7. Inspect burner assembly. Refer to “Burner Maintenance” on page 42 .
