Applies to:
- Braemar: LCA, BM
- Coolair: CPL, LPA, LPM, LPR
- Braemar: LCB, LCQ, LCS
Purpose
Provide correct fan attachment instructions for Able motors across different evaporative cooler models.
Fan Attachment Methods by Model
1. Braemar LCA, BM & Coolair CPL / LPA / LPM / LPR
- Use shaft end groove to set fan height.
- Locate fan grub screw in shaft dimple.
- Secure with Loctite 243 for reliable fastening.
2. Braemar LCB / LCQ / LCS
- Clip collet into shaft bottom groove.
- Align collet using shaft flat.
- Screw fan onto collet anti‑clockwise until marks on collet and fan align.
Important Notes
- Always confirm collet or grub screw engagement before powering up.
- Apply Loctite 243 only on grub screw models (LCA/BM/Coolair).
- For collet systems, ensure alignment marks match for correct fan positioning.
