There are no real secrets to removing the squirrel cage, it is just tight to get out. When removing the fan from the motor shaft do not damage the motor. Before removing make sure it is the motor. They do not fail often.
I have a motor wiring drawing for my "90 if you want it. I presume they should be the same. E-mail jwasnewski@...

Hi there,

I am new to Bluebirds (Yesterday) and i have a generator problem and i

am hoping that someone can share some experiences.

The fan that cools the generator radiator is not turning. I did turn

the fan by hand and it keep turning and worked. I stopped the

generator and restarted and it did the same thing again. I did this a

third time and no matter how fast i spin the fan by hand it will not

run by itself.

I find what i believe to be a capacitor in a box right before the motor

and confirmed that i do have 220 going to the motor.

Does anyone know, does that typicaly go bad or the motor itself or both.

Now assuming the motor has gone bad, are there any secrets for removing

the fan assembly from the coach and from the squirrel cage.

Thanks again for your help and being new to bluebird, i am sure i will

have some more questions.

Thanks

Paul
