FAN WHEEL REPLACEMENT
It is unlikely the fan wheel will require replacement. However, if the wheel requires balancing, it can
normally be done in the field by a certified fan technician. Should the fan wheel require replacement,
the work should only be performed by a Halton certified fan technician.
BEARING REPLACEMENT
1. Remove belts and the fan sheave. To remove fan sheave, remove the cap bolts and screw
them into the threaded holes in the bushing. Snug up all bolts then continue to tighten each
cap bolt in half turn increments until the sheave comes loose from the bushing. The bushing
and sheave should now slide off the fan shaft.
2. Loosen the set screws on the locking collars of bearing.
3. Remove the fan wheel and fan shaft by sliding the fan shaft out through the bearing collars.
Polishing the fan shaft with emery cloth and some light lubrication on the fan shaft will
make removal much easier.
4. Remove bolts, fastening the bearing to the top and bottom bearing base plates.
5. Re-install equipment in reverse order of removal. Care should be taken to properly tighten
the set screws in the bearing locking collar’ see chart for recommended tightening torque
of set screws.
6. When replacing the fan sheaves, slide sheave and bushing onto the fan shaft and insert the
cap bolts into the non-threaded holes of the bushing and screw into threaded holes in
sheave. Tighten each cap bolt a half turn in rotation until tight.
7. Ensure proper belt tension and sheave alignment. The use of straight edge is recommended
to ensure proper alignment and maximum efficiency.

SHEAVE ALIGNMENT
Align the drive by the four-point method with a piece of string or a straight edge. The two sheaves will
be aligned when two points (near and far) on the face of each of the sheaves touch the straight edge
of the string when the string is a straight line. Refer to the figure below for correct alignment.
Fan Sheaves Misaligned
Fan Sheaves Aligned

EcoloAir Operation, Maintenance & Service Manual
EAOMSI/012009/rev1/EN
BELT ADJUSTMENT
Measure the belt span, (see image). Using a spring
scale, apply a perpendicular force to any one of the
belts at the mid point of the span. Measure the force
required to deflect any one of the belts 1/64” (.40mm)
for every inch (25mm) of span length. For example,
the deflection for a 32” (813mm) span would be 1/64”
(.40mm) multiplied by 32, or 1/2” (13mm). The force
required to deflect the belt is listed in the table below.
Initially, tighten the belts to the values listed in column
“Run-In Time”. There will normally be a drop in tension
during the first 24 to 49 hours of operation. During this
“run in” period, the belts seat themselves in the sheave
grooves and the initial stretch is removed. After a day
or two, the drive should be stopped and another check
made for the correct amount of tension. The tension
should now compare with the values in column “Normal
Time”. If the force is below the level in column “Normal
Time”. The belts are too loose. If the force is greater than
the high level, the belts are too tight. Readjust so that
the deflection force is between the high and low value in
column “Normal Time”.

START UP OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Initial system start-up and certification by factory authorized personnel only.
Operating system prior to certification will void warranty.
• Turn on main disconnect switch at EcoloAir fan.
• The EcoloAir filter unit is designed to operate with the following pressure drops across each filter
stage.
1) Pre Filter .2” to .75”
2) Medium Efficiency Filter .4” to 1.25”
3) High Efficiency Filter .75” to 2.0”
When the pressure drop for each filter bank exceeds the upper limits, an audible/visual alarm will
sound and activate a pilot light.
The alarm is a warning only, and does not shut the system down. The alarm can be silenced by
pushing the alarm reset button in the centre of the Ecology panel.
• There are two other alarm conditions:
1) “A filter not in place” sensing system. 2) A fire state to sense excessive temperatures in the
duct. Should either alarm be triggered, the audible/visual alarm will sound, an indicator light
labeled “filters overall” will be illuminated, and the system will shut down. After the cause
of the alarm has been corrected, the system can be restarted by pushing the reset button
and also turning the main disconnect switch to the “OFF” position. then back to the “ON”
position.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Heavy hamburger type operations require extra maintenance and frequent filter changes. We
recommend a maintenance contract be set up for this type of operation.
MONTHLY:
• Check condition of air filters. Replace if necessary.
• Check odor control liquid level. Replace if necessary.
• Check odor nozzle condition (check for debris)
QUARTERLY: (to be performed by a qualified service agent).
• Check belt tension at exhaust fan. Tighten as required.
• Check belt alignment.
• Lubricate motor bearings.
• Lubricate fan bearings.
• Check contacts on motor starter in control panel.
• Check amperage draw of fan motor.
• Check to see if the overall filter warning system operates correctly. This can be done by removing
the high efficiency filters and starting the system.

EcoloAir Operation, Maintenance & Service Manual
EAOMSI/012009/rev1/EN
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
1. A preventive maintenance program is an important aspect of an effective safety program. Consult
the manufacturing or other qualified service agents with question concerning changes observed
during periodic inspections and routine maintenance.
2. The fan manufacturer’s operating and maintenance recommendations, as well as the components
manufacturer’s instructions (such as motor, bearing, drives, etc.) should be strictly followed.
3. Maintenance should always be performed by experienced and trained personnel who are
aware of the hazards associated with rotating equipment. Do not attempt any maintenance
on a fan unless the fan power supply has been locked out and tagged out and the impeller has
been secured.
4. When performing maintenance functions which include disassembly of the fan, careful
consideration should be given to the size, weight center of gravity, and lifting means of the fan
components. It should also be noted that the outboard bearing on some fans such as
arrangements 1,8,9 and 10 is often cap-loaded. Removal of the securing means may result in a
sudden change in impeller position.
5. Historical data is often the best indicator for determining the operational condition of the fan.
Maintenance logs which include lubrication, vibration levels, temperature levels, power
requirements, inspection, and other pertinent records should be maintained and consulted as
necessary when assessing the condition of the fan.
6. Under normal circumstances, handling clean air, the system should require cleaning only once a
year. However, the fan and system should be checked at regular intervals to detect any unusual
accumulation.
7. The fan impeller should be specially checked for build-up of material or dirt which may cause an
imbalance with resulting undue wear on bearings and belt drives. A regular maintenance
program should be established as needed to prevent material build-up.
8. Periodic inspection of the rotating assembly should be made to detect any indication of weakening
of the rotor because of corrosion, erosion, or metal fatigue. Where signs of deterioration are
found, lock out and tag out the impeller until the unit had been inspected and approved by a
qualified consultant.

EAOMSI/012009/rev1/EN
START UP CHECK LIST
1.1 Before putting any fan into initial operation, the manufacturer’s instructions should be followed.
Transportation, handling, and installation can cause fasteners to loosen, and cause misalignment
of fan components. Carefully follow this check list when commissioning equipment.
1.2 Lock out the primary and all secondary power sources.
1.3 A complete inspection should be made of all the ductwork and the interior of the fan. Make
certain there is no foreign material which can be drawn into or blown through the fan or ductwork
Appropriate protective measures and safety practices should be observed when entering or
working within these areas. These measures might include the use of goggles, respirators, or
other personal protective devices.
1.4 Make sure the foundation or mounting arrangement and the duct connections are adequately
designed and installed per drawings and in accordance with recognized acceptable engineering
practices and with the fan manufacturer’s recommendations.
1.5 Check and tighten all bolts, fasteners, and set screws as necessary .
1.6 Check the fan assembly and bearings for proper grounding to prevent static electricity discharge.
1.7 Ensure power and drive components such as motor starter, variable frequency drive, or hydraulic
power unit are properly sized, matched , and connected to the fan.
1.8 Check bearing for recommended lubricant and lubrication amount.
1.9 Spin the rotation assembly to determine whether it rotates freely, without hitting anything, and is
not grossly out of balance.
1.10 Inspect impeller for proper rotation for the fan design.
1.11 Check alignment of drives and all other components.
1.12 Check the belt drive for proper sheave selection and installation and make sure the sheaves are
not reversed (excessive speeds could develop).
1.13 Check for recommended belt tension.
1.14 Properly secure all safety guards.
1.15 Assure that all appropriate warnings have been put in place.
1.16 Secure all access doors to the fan and ductwork.

20
EcoloAir Operation, Maintenance & Service Manual
EAOMSI/012009/rev1/EN
1.17 Momentarily energize the fan to check the direction of rotation. Listen as the fan coasts to a
stop for any unusual noise, identify the source, and take corrective action as necessary.
1.18 Switch on the electrical supply and allow the fan to reach full speed. Check carefully for:
a) Excessive vibration
b) Unusual noise
c) Proper belt alignment
d) Proper lubrication
e) Proper amperage, voltage, or power values.
f) If any problem is indicated, SWITCH OFF IMMEDIATELY.
g) Lock out the power supply. Secure the fan impeller if there is a potential for wind milling.
Check carefully for the cause of the trouble, correct as necessary, and repeat check list
procedure.
2.0 Even if the fan appears to be operating satisfactorily, shut down after a brief period, lock out the
power supply, and recheck item 1.5 through 1.17 as the initial start-up may have loosened the
bolts, fasteners, and set screws.
3.0 The fan may now be put into operation, but during the first eight (8) hours of running, it should be
closely observed and checked for excessive vibration and noise. At this time checks should also
be made of motor input current and motor and bearing temperatures to ensure that they do not
exceed manufacturer’s recommendations.
4.0 After eight (8) hours of operation, the fan should be shut down and the power locked out. Check
list items 1.5 through 1.17 should be inspected and adjusted, if necessary.
5.0 After twenty-four (24) hours of satisfactory operation, the fan should be shut down (locked out)
and the drive belt tension should be readjusted to recommended tension.
6.0 After commissioning and start-up, the fan should be operated and maintained in accordance with
the manufacturer’s and component manufacturer’s recommendations.
For any questions, please call Halton Service Network at (905) 624-301.
