### **Maer Fan Removal**
### **1) Turn off miner load following site preferences**
### **2) Leave fans running for at least 10 minutes to fully cool down miners**
### **3) Use HMI controller to turn off fans**
### **4) Turn off the individual fan breaker for the fan that will be removed. The fans will have labels on the outside of the container showing the fan number.**
****
### **5) Remove the back of fan from assembly housing**
#### From inside the container, remove the (4) 13 mm bolts holding the protection cage. A second person will have to hold the nut (13 mm) from the outside of the container through the louvers. Be sure to keep track of all washers and hardware
### **6) From the outside through the louvers, remove the 2 screws securing the junction box lid.**
****
### **7) Ensure power to the fan is disconnected using a multimeter**
****
### **8) Take note of or photo of all wire connections and remove the wires connected to the motor. Be sure to note the jumper wire connections (small black wires).**
****
### **9) Remove the 2 screws holding the junction box to motor. This allows the motor to slide out easier as the junction box can be rotated now.**
****
### **10) Remove the weatherproof cable gland using a crescent wrench or channel locks**
****
### **11) Before removing the motor, the best practice is to number the blades AND THE positions on the motor 1 through 5. Then remove the blades.**
#### Note the direction AND the numbering. EX: Clockwise or counterclockwise
### **12) Remove motor from mount**
#### Remove the 4 bolts (17 mm) mounting the motor to the outside of the housing. Have a second person hold the motor from the inside while these bolts are removed. The motors are approximately 60 lbs. Remove the motor from the fan assembly.
### **13) Install blades to new motor IN THE SAME direction and order (clockwise or counterclockwise) as numbered in Step 11 above.**
### **14) Installation is the reverse of the above**
