Fans Should be Kept True.

A cause of fan breaking that is rather common is the running of the fan when it is considered out of balance, which results in setting up stresses that the sheet metal often win not withstand. If a fan does not turn true it should be made to do so by bending back into position or bringing the circumferential wire or band into shape if it has been distorted. Often a fast-running fan, if much out of balance, will set up a noticeable vibration of its own, which ia hard on the fan bearings, as well as the fish itself. . , \
