The fan motor and drive assembly are designed to allow easy servicing of the motor and adjustment of the belt
tension from the exterior of the unit. The T.E.F.C fan motor is mounted on the outside on these models and is
protected from the weather by a cover which swings away for maintenance.
A large hinged access door is located on the side of the unit for easy access to the fan drive system. The
belt can be adjusted by tightening the J-Bolts on the motor base and the tension can be checked easily through
the access door, all while standing at the side of the unit. The bearings can also be lubricated from the side
of the unit. The bearing lubrication lines have been extended to the exterior casing and are located by the
access door, thus making bearing lubrication easy.
Sloped access ladders and working platforms are available as an option to facilitate maintenance.

Designed for easy maintenance, the REP cooling tower leads the industry in service friendly features. The two
most critical areas for cooling tower maintenance are the basin and the drive system. The AT basin section is designed to
allow quick and easy access from outside the cooling tower. Just like the basin, all service to the drive system can be safely
performed from the side of the cooling tower. This eliminates the need to stand in the cold water basin or add costly fan deck
handrails and safety cages for routine service to the bearings, belts, or electrical equipment. Evapco's Power-Band drive system
is the easiest belt drive system to maintain in the industry!
