Warning: Only trained personnel should perform this procedure

If motor doesn't have grease fittings, stop the procedure

Was a hand operated grease gun used?

Sign off on the motor bearing lubrication

As mentioned previously in this manual, excessive vibration can cause premature motor failure that could lead to catastrophic failure of the blower. After performing any routine maintenance, the vibration readings should be taken.

New readings should be taken (maximum every 12 months) and compared to the readings you recorded in Table 3 during the initial startup. If any major differences are present, the cause should be determined and corrected before the blower is put back into operation.

The most common causes of vibration problems are:

• Misaligned sheaves and/or belts

• Poor blower inlet and/or discharge conditions

Warning: This procedure requires trained personnel with PPE!

If the wheel is unbalanced, it must be rebalanced or replaced.

Choose the method of balancing the blower wheel

Is the wheel balanced after the chosen method?

If the wheel is still unbalanced, repeat the procedure or replace the wheel.
