Hood Cleaning (Continued)

A soft bristle toothbrush with warm soapy water may be used to

clean the blades, or soak the blower wheel in warm soapy water.

When reinstalling the wheel onto the motor shaft, make sure the set

screwmakesdirectcontactwiththe“atspot”onthemotorshaft.

Slide the blower wheel onto the motor shaft as far as it will go and

tighten the set screw (clockwise) to lock the blower wheel in the

correct position.

Remove the grease pan as described in Hood Cleaning, Section

B. If the blower wheel needs to be removed, a 1/8”T-handle hex

wrenchisnecessary.AT-handlehexwrench(A)maybeobtained

from Vent-A-Hood

to accomplish this (Vent-A-Hood

part number

AW101). There is a small set screw on the side of the hub of the

wheelthattightensupagainsta“at”spotonthemotorshaft.Theset

screw must be turned ½ turn counterclockwise to remove the blower

wheel. Insert the T-handle allen wrench through the guide hole (B)

locatednexttotheblowerhousinglatch,throughthebladesofthe

blower wheel, and into the set screw. Use caution to avoid bending

or distorting the blower wheel and take care not to move or lose the

metalbalancingclipsthatmaybeafxedtothewheel.Ifthewheel

isdifculttoremove,theareawherethemotorshaftmakescontact

with the blower wheel hub may need to be sprayed with a common

penetrating oil such as WD-40
