Blower Motor and Wheel
The following steps should be performed by a qualified service agency. 
NOTE: The blower wheel should not be dropped or bent as balance will
be affected. 
To  ensure  long  life  and  high  efficiency,  clean  accumulated  dirt  and
grease from blower wheel and motor annually. 
The  inducer  and  blower  motors  are  pre-lubricated  and  require  no
additional lubrication. These motors can be identified by the absence of
oil ports on each end of the motor. 
Clean blower motor and wheel as follows:
1. Turn off electrical supply to furnace.
2. Remove outer door.
3. For downflow or horizontal furnaces having vent pipes within the
furnace that pass in front of the blower access door: 
a. Disconnect vent connector from furnace vent elbow.
b. Disconnect and remove short piece of vent pipe from within 
furnace.
4. Remove screws from blower access door and remove blower access
door.
5. All  factory  wires  can  be  left  connected,  but  field  thermostat
connections may need to be disconnected depending on their length
and routing.
6. Remove  2  screws  holding  blower  assembly  to  blower  deck  and
slide blower assembly out of furnace.
7. Clean  blower  wheel  and  motor  using  a  vacuum  with  soft  brush
attachment. Blower wheel blades may be cleaned with a small paint
or flux brush. Do not remove or disturb balance weights (clips) on
blower wheel blades.
8. Vacuum any loose dust from blower housing, wheel and motor.
9. If a greasy residue is present on blower wheel, remove wheel from
the blower housing and wash it with an appropriate degreaser.
NOTE:  Before  disassembly,  mark  blower  mounting  arms,  motor,  and
blower housing so motor and each arm is positioned at the same location
during reassembly.
To remove wheel:
a. Disconnect ground wire attached to blower housing.
b. Remove screws securing cutoff plate and remove cutoff plate 
from housing.
c. Loosen set screw holding blower wheel on motor shaft (160+/-20 
in.-lb. when assembling).
d. Remove bolts holding motor to blower housing and slide motor 
out of wheel (40+/-10 in.-lb. when reassembling).
e. Remove blower wheel from housing.
f. Clean wheel and housing.
10. Reassemble motor and blower by reversing steps 9a, through 9e. Be
sure to reattach ground wire to the blower housing.
11. Verify  that  blower  wheel  is  centered  in  blower  housing  and  set
screw contacts the flat portion of the motor shaft. Loosen set screw
on blower wheel and reposition if necessary.
12. Spin the blower wheel by hand to verify that the wheel does not rub
on the housing.
13. Reinstall blower assembly in furnace.
14. Reinstall 2 screws securing blower assembly to blower deck.
15. Reconnect blower leads to furnace control. Refer to furnace wiring
diagram, and connect thermostat leads if previously disconnected.
16. To check blower for proper rotation:
a. Turn on electrical supply. 
b. Manually close blower access door switch.
NOTE:  If  R-W/W1  thermostat  terminals  are  jumpered  at  the  time
blower access door switch is  closed, blower will run for 90 sec before
beginning a heating cycle.
c. Perform component self-test as shown at the bottom of the 
SERVICE label, located on the front of blower access door.
d. Verify blower is rotating in the correct direction
17. If  furnace  is  operating  properly,  RELEASE  BLOWER ACCESS
DOOR  SWITCH.  Remove  any  jumpers  or  reconnect  any
disconnected thermostat leads. Replace blower access door.
18. Downflow  or  horizontal  furnaces  with  vent  pipe  through  furnace
only:
a. Install and connect short piece of vent pipe inside furnace to 
existing vent.
b. Connect vent connector to vent elbow.
19. Reinstall outer door.
20. Turn on gas supply and cycle furnace through one complete heating
and cooling cycle. Verify the furnace temperature rise as shown in
Adjustments  Section.  Adjust  temperature  rise  as  shown  in
Adjustments Section. If outdoor temperature is below 70_F, turn off
circuit breaker to outdoor unit before running furnace in the cooling
cycle.  Turn  outdoor  circuit  breaker  on  after  completing  cooling
