00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,542
Typical steps to install the exhauster blower are as follows:

2
00:00:04,542 --> 00:00:15,875
<b>Warning: </b>To prevent personal injury and potential equipment damage, ensure that the engine cannot be started before removing, installing, or adjusting any engine component.

3
00:00:15,875 --> 00:00:20,375
Place the BS in the OFF position to prevent starting attempts.

4
00:00:20,375 --> 00:00:25,708
Also, place the FPB and the LCCB in the OFF position.

5
00:00:25,708 --> 00:00:30,250
Also, apply a warning tag on the EC switch.

6
00:00:30,250 --> 00:00:38,500
<b>Warning: </b>The exhauster blower weighs approximately 530 lbs. (240 kg).

7
00:00:38,500 --> 00:00:41,500
Ensure that the lifting device is adequate.

8
00:00:41,500 --> 00:00:45,625
Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death.

9
00:00:45,625 --> 00:00:57,667
<b>Note: </b>When installing the exhauster blower, inspect and remove any loose hardware or objects that may have fallen into the exhauster blower upward-pointing discharge opening.

10
00:00:57,667 --> 00:01:09,542
1. Carefully position the blower assembly onto the mounting base with a crane, then slide the blower into position, aligning the blower with the duct assembly and the mounting holes.

11
00:01:09,542 --> 00:01:21,250
2. Install the blower mounting hardware and torque the bolts to 155 to 170 lb.-ft. (210 to 231 Nm).

12
00:01:21,250 --> 00:01:28,167
3. Carefully pull the three exhauster blower motor leads back into the connection box. 

13
00:01:28,167 --> 00:01:39,042
<b>Caution: </b>When the power leads to the exhauster blower motor have been disconnected at either end for any reason, it is possible to incorrectly connect the leads at reinstallation.

14
00:01:39,042 --> 00:01:46,125
If any two power leads are swapped at either end, the blower may still operate; but it will rotate backwards.

15
00:01:46,125 --> 00:01:53,500
Backward running of the equipment blower will greatly decrease the air filtering of the equipment blower and engine air filters.

16
00:01:53,500 --> 00:02:00,417
This reduced ventilation can shorten the life and/or do serious damage to the traction motors and diesel engine.

17
00:02:00,417 --> 00:02:10,125
To check rotation, with the engine at IDLE, place a tie wrap on top of the motor shaft exposed between the motor end bell and the drive-end shaft guard.

18
00:02:10,125 --> 00:02:15,708
If the tie wrap moves outward, the motor rotation is correct.

19
00:02:15,708 --> 00:02:23,458
4. Connect the motor lead wires to the terminals in the box, ensuring that each lead is on the correct terminal.

20
00:02:23,458 --> 00:02:27,875
5. Connect the flexible conduit to the connection box.

21
00:02:27,875 --> 00:02:36,167
6. Install the bolt, washer, lockwasher, and nut to secure the blower to the blower duct assembly.

22
00:02:36,167 --> 00:02:41,375
7. Install the section of handrail previously removed.
