okay this a little one on boiling the
00:00:10.750 00:00:10.760 director I'd fan motors on
00:00:14.140 00:00:14.150 for furnaces I'm going to show you how
00:00:17.170 00:00:17.180 to do it where the Oilers are what kind
00:00:19.029 00:00:19.039 of weld to use the sword now this view
00:00:21.519 00:00:21.529 you're getting right here this is
00:00:23.490 00:00:23.500 probably not the view you're going to
00:00:25.659 00:00:25.669 get unless you pulled out the blower
00:00:28.960 00:00:28.970 you're going to get the side of it you
00:00:33.729 00:00:33.739 can oil and while or in but sometimes
00:00:36.220 00:00:36.230 it's really hard to do so you may need
00:00:38.140 00:00:38.150 to pull the blower assembly out in order
00:00:41.020 00:00:41.030 to oil it but let's take a look a little
00:00:43.869 00:00:43.879 closer there on where the Oilers are
00:00:48.570 00:00:48.580 okay we have two caps they should be in
00:00:51.700 00:00:51.710 the upper quadrant one right here and
00:00:55.240 00:00:55.250 one back in there so you got to pull
00:00:58.630 00:00:58.640 each of these caps off and oil inside
00:01:02.530 00:01:02.540 them
00:01:04.350 00:01:04.360 okay you need to pull this one cap off
00:01:08.010 00:01:08.020 sometimes these are yellow sometimes
00:01:10.120 00:01:10.130 they're black sometimes they're metal
00:01:19.260 00:01:19.270 I'm going to show you a tool here that
00:01:21.790 00:01:21.800 we use okay that is the infamous zoom
00:01:25.990 00:01:26.000 spout oiler this little spout you can
00:01:30.070 00:01:30.080 pull it down like that then you can pull
00:01:33.250 00:01:33.260 it out like that turn it upside down
00:01:35.730 00:01:35.740 squeeze it and oil will come out a
00:01:38.830 00:01:38.840 little silly thing if you put you're
00:01:41.740 00:01:41.750 going to okay these are probably the
00:01:45.340 00:01:45.350 only ones we use it says it's supposed
00:01:47.050 00:01:47.060 to boil everything under the Sun I guess
00:01:49.870 00:01:49.880 that's fine okay this is the way I do it
00:01:55.390 00:01:55.400 I start putting oil in here until it
00:01:59.680 00:01:59.690 starts coming out once it comes out I
00:02:04.170 00:02:04.180 figure it's enough cap back on now I get
00:02:10.479 00:02:10.489 to do the easy one
00:02:19.650 00:02:19.660 okay this one back here can be a little
00:02:21.940 00:02:21.950 tough pry it like that hopefully you can
00:02:25.810 00:02:25.820 hold it you know I'm not going to beat
00:02:27.850 00:02:27.860 you up if you drop the thing in the
00:02:29.350 00:02:29.360 blower housing I'm sure not going to go
00:02:31.150 00:02:31.160 pick it up again
00:02:32.430 00:02:32.440 when you put the oil into these things
00:02:37.270 00:02:37.280 it goes down there and there's either
00:02:42.520 00:02:42.530 felt or there's some kind of plastic
00:02:44.230 00:02:44.240 stuff I don't know what it is it's kind
00:02:46.150 00:02:46.160 of a fiber stuff and it just contains
00:02:49.570 00:02:49.580 the oil well it also filters so if you
00:02:53.110 00:02:53.120 do lose the caps that wouldn't be too
00:02:55.630 00:02:55.640 worried about it
00:02:56.550 00:02:56.560 because the oil is filtered before it
00:02:58.930 00:02:58.940 ever gets to the bearing and lease outs
00:03:01.600 00:03:01.610 the excuse I'm making now this back
00:03:04.870 00:03:04.880 one's a little bit tougher okay I take
00:03:07.960 00:03:07.970 this into this oiler and I bend it over
00:03:11.010 00:03:11.020 and a 90 like kind of like that so bend
00:03:15.130 00:03:15.140 it like that
00:03:16.320 00:03:16.330 you can see that and then I take it back
00:03:19.690 00:03:19.700 like that and you get it in there do the
00:03:27.460 00:03:27.470 same thing you did the other one until
00:03:29.380 00:03:29.390 it overflows and you can get the cap
00:03:31.479 00:03:31.489 back on wonderful if you can't that's
00:03:34.420 00:03:34.430 okay too
00:03:37.260 00:03:37.270 so fairly simple not much to it the
00:03:40.840 00:03:40.850 blower wheel should move easily like
00:03:43.810 00:03:43.820 that if it moves stiff you can oil it
00:03:48.610 00:03:48.620 and it will probably maybe start working
00:03:52.870 00:03:52.880 again don't count on it and the bearings
00:03:57.640 00:03:57.650 are damaged because these are bushings
00:04:00.760 00:04:00.770 and it's going to fail no two ways about
00:04:04.810 00:04:04.820 it you'll be back again if you just oil
00:04:08.020 00:04:08.030 it up and guess what customer's going to
00:04:09.729 00:04:09.739 want you to pay for it second time
00:04:11.350 00:04:11.360 around so if you have step bearings and
00:04:15.580 00:04:15.590 you just need to get them going because
00:04:17.470 00:04:17.480 you don't have a motor you can try oil
00:04:20.229 00:04:20.239 in them sometimes you'll get away with
00:04:21.789 00:04:21.799 it sometimes it'll work okay and you'll
00:04:24.490 00:04:24.500 get them moving again but there's too
00:04:26.470 00:04:26.480 much clearance in the bearings now or
00:04:30.460 00:04:30.470 they've scored the
00:04:33.040 00:04:33.050 something like that and the things toast
00:04:36.820 00:04:36.830 so that's boiling the bearings remember
00:04:40.689 00:04:40.699 there are two of them there's one here
00:04:43.420 00:04:43.430 one back there there's never just one
00:04:44.890 00:04:44.900 here your keys to make a furnace that I
00:04:48.010 00:04:48.020 actually made a little piece of tubing
00:04:49.390 00:04:49.400 that came over here and there were two
00:04:50.649 00:04:50.659 holes here that you could put it into
00:04:52.180 00:04:52.190 that was kind of cool but most some are
00:04:55.029 00:04:55.039 doing just like this some of these
00:04:57.610 00:04:57.620 little caps are aluminum they're a
00:05:00.339 00:05:00.349 little harder to get out but that's
00:05:03.969 00:05:03.979 pretty much it
00:05:04.719 00:05:04.729 if there are no caps anyplace on it it's
00:05:07.960 00:05:07.970 a sealed baron
00:05:09.089 00:05:09.099 most of them are sealed bearings anymore
00:05:12.570 00:05:12.580 and before you're finished up here just
00:05:15.969 00:05:15.979 go ahead and take a toothbrush some kind
00:05:18.939 00:05:18.949 of brush and brush all those holes get
00:05:21.550 00:05:21.560 all the crap the lint and stuff like
00:05:23.860 00:05:23.870 that out of those holes so the motor
00:05:27.070 00:05:27.080 will run cool okay that's it for oiling
00:05:31.629 00:05:31.639 a direct-drive blower motor
