D-Adjusting Unit CFM - Belt Drive Blowers
The blower RPM can be adjusted at the motor pulley.
Loosen Allen screw and turn adjustable pulley clockwise
to increase CFM. Turn counterclockwise to decrease
CFM. See figure 21. Do not exceed minimum and
maximum number of pulley turns as shown in table 8.

E-Blower Belt Adjustment - Belt Drive
Maximum life and wear can be obtained from belts only
if proper pulley alignment and belt tension are
maintained. Tension new belts after a 24-48 hour
period of operation. This will allow belt to stretch and
seat grooves. Make sure blower and motor pulley are
aligned as shown in figure 20.
1- Loosen four bolts securing motor base to mounting
frame. See figure 21.
2- To increase belt tension -
Slide blower motor downward to tighten the belt. This
increases the distance between the blower motor and
the blower housing.
