Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Answer is After the raceway is installed, the electrician usually is responsible for aligning the motor and adjusting the drive belts. The drive for the cooling unit requires three V-belts. It is recommended that the three belts be purchased as a set so that they all have the same length. The belts should be installed only after the motor is loosened from its base and moved closer to the fan sheave. The belts should not be pulled on over the sheaves because the belt fabric can be damaged. The motor should be placed so that the sheaves are in perfect alignment. The motor is then moved to tighten the belts.
