Vent Fan Impeller Assembly (Continued)
5.6.4.2 Installation
Note: When REPLACING the Vent Fan Impeller, a NEW Vent Fan Motor
MUST also be installed (ref. 5.6.6).
Do NOT reuse Vent Fan Impeller.
1.
Position the Impeller onto the motor shaft taking care not to damage the threads on the
end of the shaft.
Note:
The motor shaft is “D” shaped, so the Impeller will only go on when
the shaft and the Impeller are aligned.
2.
Using a feeler gauge, check that the gap between the back face of the rim of the Vent
Fan Impeller (large end) and the Vent Fan Housing is not less than 0.015" or more than
0.030". Re-shim as required.
3.
While holding the Impeller to stop it from rotating, use a 5/16" socket to secure the NEW
lock nut.
