INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Receiving and Inspection

Immediately upon receipt of an SRSH fan, carefully inspect

the fan and accessories for damage and shortage.

• Turn the wheel by hand to ensure it turns freely and does

not bind

• Check dampers (if included) for free operation of all moving

parts

• Record on the Delivery Receipt any visible sign of damage

Handling

Lift the fan by the lifting lugs provided under top cap.

NOTICE! Never lift by the shaft, motor or housing.

Storage

If the fan is stored for any length of time prior to installation,

completely ll the bearings with grease or moisture-inhibiting oil

(refer to Fan bearings, page 3). Store the fan in its original crate

and protect it from dust, debris and weather.

• Cover the inlet, and outlet opening to prevent the

accumulation of dirt and moisture in the housing

• Periodically rotate the wheel to keep a coating of grease on

all internal bearing parts

• Periodically inspect the unit to prevent damaging conditions

SRSH-B/SRSH-D

Rotating Parts & Electrical Shock Hazard:

Fans should be installed and serviced by qualied personnel

only.

Disconnect electric power before working on unit (prior to re-

moval of guards or entry into access doors).

Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures to ensure the unit

cannot be energized while being installed or serviced.

A disconnect switch should be placed near the fan in order

that the power can be swiftly cut o󰀨, in case of an emergency

and in order that maintenance personnel are provided com-

plete control of the power source.

Grounding is required. All eld-installed wiring must be com-

pleted by qualied personnel. All eld installed wiring must

comply with National Electric Code (NFPA 70) and all appli-

cable local codes.

Fans and blowers create pressure at the discharge and vac-

uum at the inlet. This may cause objects to get pulled into the

unit and objects to be propelled rapidly from the discharge.

The discharge should always be directed in a safe direction

and inlets should not be left unguarded. Any object pulled into

the inlet will become a projectile capable of causing serious

injury or death.

When air is allowed to move through a non-powered fan, the

impeller can rotate, which is referred to as windmilling. Wind-

milling will cause hazardous conditions due to unexpected ro-

tation of components. Impellers should be blocked in position

or air passages blocked to prevent draft when working on fans.

Friction and power loss inside rotating components will cause

them to be a potential burn hazard. All components should be

approached with caution and/or allowed to cool before con-

tacting them for maintenance.

Under certain lighting conditions, rotating components may

appear stationary. Components should be veried to be sta-

tionary in a safe manner, before they come into contact with

personnel, tools or clothing.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in death or se-

rious injury.

The attachment of roof mounted fans to the roof curb as well

as the attachment of roof curbs to the building structure must

exceed the structural requirements based on the environmen-

tal loading derived from the applicable building code for the

site. The local code o󰀩cial may require variations from the

recognized code based on local data. The licensed engineer

of record will be responsible for prescribing the correct attach-

ment based on construction materials, code requirements and

environmental e󰀨ects specic to the installation.

This publication contains the installation, operation and

maintenance instructions for standard units of the SRSH‑

B & SRSH‑D: Tamper Proof Centrifugal Roof Exhauster.

Carefully read this publication and any

supplemental documents prior to any

installation or maintenance procedure.

Loren Cook catalog, SRSH, provides additional information

describing the equipment, fan performance, available acces-

sories and specication data.

Installation

If the fan was delivered with the motor unmounted, refer to

Belt and Pulley Installation, page 5.

Damper Installation

If your fan is supplied with dampers, follow the directions be-

low. If your fan does not include dampers, proceed to Belt and

Pulley Installation, page 5.

1. Place the damper inside the curb or inside the duct work. Ensure

the damper will open freely for the correct direction of the airow.

2. Secure to curb at the damper shelf.

3. Drill hole in the curb shelf for conduit needed for motor wiring.

4. Operate the dampers manually to ensure the blades move freely.

5. Install fan over curb while aligning the conduit location with the

conduit hole in the curb.

Wiring Installation

All wiring should be in accordance with local ordinances

and the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. Ensure the power

supply (voltage, frequency, and current carrying capacity of

wires) is in accordance with the motor name-plate. Refer to

the Wiring Diagrams, page 3.

Leave enough slack in the wiring to allow for motor move-

ment when adjusting belt tension. Some fractional motors

have to be removed in order to make the connection with the

terminal box at the end of the motor.

Follow the wiring diagram included with the dis-

connect switch and the wiring diagram provid-

ed with the motor. Correctly label the circuit on

the main power box and always identify a closed

switch to promote safety (i.e., red tape over a

closed switch).

1. Lift hood assembly which covers the motor.

2. For internal wiring, run the electrical wire and conduit

through the opening drilled in the damper shelf (refer to

Damper Installation), then through the wiring conduit in

the ventilator base to the motor compartment.

3. For external wiring pull the wires through and complete

the wiring. For further information. Refer to Wiring Dia‑

grams, page 3.

Final Installation Steps

1. Ensure fasteners and set screws, particularly fan mounting

and bearing fasteners are tightened according to the recom-

mended torque shown in the table, Recommended Torque

for Setscrews/Bolts.

2. Inspect for correct amperage with an ammeter and correct

voltage with a voltmeter.

3. Ensure that all accessories are installed.

4. Test the fan to be sure the rotation is the same as indicated

by the arrow marked Rotation.

NOTICE! Do not allow the fan to run in the wrong

direction. This will overheat the motor and cause

serious damage. For 3-phase motors, if the fan is

running in the wrong direction, check the control

switch. It is possible to interchange two leads at

this location so that the fan is operating in the cor-

rect direction.

5. Inspect wheel-to-inlet clearance. Wheels may shift in ship-

ment. To realign wheel-to-inlet, shift upper bearing so there

is an equal radial clearance between the wheel and inlet. Re-

fer to Wheel to Inlet Clearance, page 6.

Maintenance

Establish a schedule for inspecting all parts of the fan. The

frequency of inspection depends on the operating conditions

and location of the fan.

Inspect fans exhausting corrosive or contaminated air within

the rst month of operation. Fans exhausting contaminated air

(airborne abrasives) should be inspected every three months.

Regular inspections are recommended for fans exhausting

non-contaminated air.

It is recommended the following inspections be conduct-

ed twice per year:

• Inspect bolts and setscrews for tightness. Tighten as

necessary. Refer to Torque chart

• Inspect belt wear and alignment. Replace worn belts with

new belts and adjust alignment as needed. Refer to Belt and

Pulley Installation, page 5

• Bearings should be inspected as recommended in the

Conditions Chart, page 4

• Inspect for cleanliness. Clean exterior surfaces only.

Removing dust and grease on motor housing assures

proper motor cooling

Fan Bearings

The fan bearings are provided prelubricated. Any special-

ized lubrication instructions on fan labels supersedes informa-

tion provided herein. Bearing grease is a petroleum lubricant

in a lithium base conforming to an NLGI #2 consistency. If

user desires to utilize another type of lubricant, they take re-

sponsibility for ushing bearings and lines, and maintaining a

lubricant that is compatible with the installation.

4SRSH IO&M B51142-004

An NLGI #2 grease is a light viscosity, low-torque, rust-in-

hibiting lubricant that is water resistant. Its temperature range

is from -30°F to 200°F and capable of intermittent highs of

25 0 ° F.

Bearings should be prelubricated in accordance with the fol-

lowing conditions chart.

Over 3000 -30 to 120 2 weeks

120 to 200 1 week

Any Speed < -30 Consult Factory

Any Speed > 200 1/2 week

For moist or otherwise contaminated installations, divide the interval

by a factor of three.

For best results, lubricate the bearing while the fan is in

operation. Pump grease in slowly until a slight bead forms

around the bearing seals. Excessive grease can damage the

seal and reduce the life through excess contamination and/or

loss of lubricant.

In the event that the bearing cannot be seen, use no more

than three injections with a hand operated grease gun.

Lubricants

Loren Cook Company uses petroleum lubricant in a lithium

base conforming to NLGI grade 2 consistency. Other grades

of grease should not be used unless the bearings and lines

have been ushed clean. If another grade of grease is used, it

should be lithium-based.

An NLGI grade 2 grease is a light viscosity, low-torque,

rust-inhibiting lubricant that is water resistant. Its tempera-

ture range is from -30°F to +200°F and capable of intermittent

highs of +250° F.

Motor Bearings

Motors are provided with prelubricated bearings. Any lubri-

cation instructions shown on the motor nameplate supersede

the following instructions.

Direct Drive 1050/1075, 1200, 1300 & 1500 RPM units use

a prelubricated sleeve bearing that has a oil saturated wicking

material surrounding it. The initial factory lubrication is ade-

quate for up to 10 years of operation under normal conditions.

However, it is advisable to add lubricant after 3 years. Use

only LIGHT grade mineral oil or SAE 10W oil up to 30 drops.

If the unit has been stored for a year or more it is advisable to

lubricate as directed above.

Motors without sleeve bearings (as described above) will

have grease lubricated ball or roller bearings. Motor bearings

without provisions for relubrication will operate up to 10 years

under normal conditions with no maintenance. In severe ap-

plications, high temperatures or excessive contaminates, it is

advisable to have the maintenance department disassemble

and lubricate the bearings after three years of operation to

prevent interruption of service.

For motors with provisions for relubrication, follow intervals

of the table below.

Motors are provided with a polyurea mineral oil NGLI #2

grease. All additions to the motor bearings are to be with

a compatible grease such as Exxon Mobil Polyrex EM and

Chevron SRI.

Motor Services

Should the motor prove defective within a one-year period,

contact your local Loren Cook representative or your nearest

authorized electric motor service representative.

Changing Shaft Speed

All belt driven ventilators (5HP or less) are equipped with

variable pitch pulleys. To change fan speed, perform the fol-

lowing:

1. Loosen setscrew on driver (motor) pulley and remove key,

if equipped.

2. Turn the pulley rim to open or close the groove facing. If

the pulley has multiple grooves, all must be adjusted to

the same width.

3. After adjustment, inspect for proper belt tension.

Speed Reduction

Open the pulley in order that the belt rides deeper in the

groove (smaller pitch diameter).

Speed Increase

Close the pulley in order that the belt rides higher in the

groove (larger pitch diameter). Ensure that the RPM limits of

the fan and the horsepower limits of the motor are maintained.

Replacing Pulleys and Belts

1. Clean the motor and fan shafts.

2. Loosen the motor plate mounting bolts to relieve the belt

tension. Remove the belt.

3. Loosen the pulley setscrews and remove the pulleys from

the shaft. If excessive force is required to remove the pul-

leys, a three-jaw puller can be used. This tool, however,

can easily warp a pulley. If the puller is used, inspect the

trueness of the pulley after it is removed from the shaft.

The pulley will need replacement if it is more than 0.020

inch out of true.

4. Clean the bores of the pulleys and place a light coat of oil

on the bores.

5. Remove any grease, rust or burrs from pulleys.

6. Place the fan pulley on the fan shaft and the motor pulley

on the motor shaft. Damage to the pulleys can occur when

excessive force is used in placing the pulleys on their re-

spective shafts.

7. After the pulleys have been correctly placed back onto

their shafts, tighten the pulley setscrews.

Belt and Pulley Installation

Belt tension is determined by the sound of the belts when

the fan is rst started. The belts will produce a loud squeal,

which dissipates after the fan is operating at full capacity. If

belt tension is too tight or too loose, lost e󰀩ciency and dam-

age may occur.

1. Loosen motor plate adjustment bolts and slide motor plate

so that belts easily slip into the grooves on the pulleys.

Never pry, roll, or force the belts over the rim of the pulley.

2. Slide motor plate until proper tension is reached. For prop-

er tension, a deection of approximately 1/4” per foot of

center distance should be obtained by rmly pressing the

belt. Refer to Figure 1.

3. Lock the motor plate adjustment bolts in place

4. Ensure pulleys are properly aligned. Refer to Figure 2.

Pulley Alignment

Pulley alignment is adjusted by loosening the motor pulley

setscrew and by moving the motor pulley on the motor shaft.

Figure 2 indicates where to measure the allowable gap for

the drive alignment tolerance. All contact points (indicated by

WXYZ) are to have a gap less than the tolerance shown in the

table. When the pulleys are not the same width, the allowable

gap must be adjusted by half of the di󰀨erence in width. Figure

3illustrates using a carpenter’s square to adjust the position

of the motor pulley until the belt is parallel to the longer leg of

the square.

Bearing Replacement

The fan bearings are pillow block

type ball bearings.

1. Remove the old bearing.

2. Remove any burrs from the

shaft by sanding.

3. Slide new bearings onto the

shaft to the desired location Fig‑

ure 3 and loosely mount bear-

ings onto the bearing support.

Bearing bolts and setscrews

should be loose enough to allow

shaft positioning.

4. Correctly position the wheel and

tighten the bearing bolts securely to the bearing support.

5. Align setscrews bearing to bearing and secure tightly to

the shaft.

NOTICE! Never tighten both pairs of setscrews be-

fore securing bearing mounting bolts. This may

damage the shaft.

6. Inspect the wheel position again. If necessary, readjust

by loosening the bearing bolts and setscrews and repeat

from step 5.

Wheel Replacement

1. Drill two holes approximately centered between the shaft

and the edge of the hub OD with the following dimensions:

• 1/4” diameter

• 3/8” to 1/2” deep

• 180° apart in face of hub

2. Tap 1/4” holes to 5/16” thread with the 5/16” hole tap. Do

not drill or tap any larger than recommended.

3. Screw the puller arms into the tapped holes full depth of

threads (3/8” to 1/2” approximately). Align center of pull-

er with center of shaft. Make certain all setscrews in hub

(normally a quantity of two) are fully removed. Work puller

slowly to back wheel o󰀨 the shaft.

Wheel-to-Inlet Clearance

The correct wheel-to-inlet clearance is critical to proper fan

performance. This clearance should be veried before initial

start-up since rough handling during shipment could cause a

shift in fan components. Refer to wheel/inlet drawing for cor-

rect overlap.

Adjust the overlap by loosening the wheel hub and moving

the wheel along the shaft to obtain the correct value.

A uniform radial gap (space between the edge of the cone

and the edge of the inlet) is obtained by loosening the inlet

cone bolts and repositioning the inlet cone.
