27. Tighten the four bolts securing the motor mounting
brackets to the unit. Torque bolts to 120 ±12 in-lbs
(14 ±1.4 Nm).
28. Remove the cover on the motor connection box.
29. Re-connect all electrical leads to the motor and re
place the connection box cover.
30. Re-connect all electrical power to the unit. Remove
lockout tags on all electrical power sources.
31. Start the unit and allow to run for a designated period.
32. Shut off the unit and make any necessary adjustments
to the V-belt tension or the motor and blower wheel
pulley alignment.

Changing Fan Wheel Speed by Changing Pulleys
The horsepower rating of the belt is primarily dictated by
the pitch diameter of the smaller pulley in the drive
system (typically the motor pulley in these units). Do not
install a replacement motor pulley with a smaller pitch
diameter than provided on the original factory pulley.
Change fan wheel speed by changing the fixed fan pulley
(larger pitch diameter to reduce wheel speed, smaller
pitch diameter to increase wheel speed) or select a new
system with both pulleys and matching belt(s).
Before changing pulleys to increase fan wheel speed,
check the fan performance at the target speed and airflow
rate to determine new motor loading (bhp). Use the fan
performance tables or use the Packaged Rooftop Builder
software program. Confirm that the motor in this unit is
capable of operating at the new operating condition. Fan
shaft loading increases dramatically as wheel speed is
increased.
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this CAUTION can result in equipment
damage.
Drive packages cannot be changed in the field. For
example: a standard drive cannot be changed to a high
static drive. This type of change will alter the unit’s
certification and could require heavier wiring to support
the higher amperage draw of the drive package.
CAUTION
!
To reduce vibration, replace the motor’s adjustable pitch
pulley with a fixed pitch pulley (after the final airflow
balance adjustment). This will reduce the amount of
vibration generated by the motor/belt-drive system.
To determine variable pitch pulley diameter, perform the
following calculation:
1. Determine full open and full closed pulley diameter.
2. Subtract the full open diameter from the full closed
diameter.
3. Divide that number by the number of pulley turns
open from full closed
This number is the change in pitch datum per turn
open.
EXAMPLE:
– Pulley dimensions 2.9 to 3.9 (full close to full open)
– 3.9 - 2.9 = 1
– 1 divided by 5 (turns from full close to full open)
– 0.2 change in pulley diameter per turn open
– 2.9 + 0.2 = 3.1″pulley diameter when pulley closed
one turn from full open

UNIT OPERATION AND SAFETY HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could cause personal
injury, death and/or equipment damage.
This system uses Puronrefrigerant which has
higher pressures than R−22 and other refrigerants. No
other refrigerant can be used in this system. Gauge
set, hoses, and recovery system must be designed to
handle Puron refrigerant. If unsure about equipment,
consult the equipment manufacturer.
!WARNING
FIRE, EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in death,
serious personal injury and/or property damage.
Never use non−certified refrigerants in this product.
Non−certified refrigerants could contain contaminates
that could lead to unsafe operating conditions. Use
ONLY refrigerants that conform to AHRI Standard
700.

ROUND TUBE PLATE FIN (RTPF)
CONDENSER COIL
The condenser coil is fabricated with round tube copper
hairpins and plate fins of various materials and/or
coatings, and are also available with optional
all−aluminum NOVATION coil construction. Check
position 11 on the unit’s informative data plate for coil
construction code, then refer to the Model Number
Nomenclature in Appendix 1 to identify the materials
provided in this unit. The coil may be one−row or
