9. SAFE WORK PROCEDURES Safe work procedures for vacuum truck operations must address the potential for chemical reactions and the potential release of toxic gas or fumes. The variety of fluids or substances that vacuum trucks typically carry must also be taken into consideration.
Under normal conditions, the absence of oxygen minimises the risk of ignition in a vacuum truck. However, operating rotary lobe blowers and vacuum pumps at high speeds creates high air movement and high vacuum levels, resulting in high discharge air temperatures and high discharge vapor concentrations that can present potentially ignitable conditions.

INTRODUCTION YOUR KEY TO TROUBLE FREE SERVICE Thank you for investing in Gardner Denver quality. The Gardner Denver reputation for rugged dependability has been earned by over 50 years of service in demanding, industrial operations where downtime cannot be tolerated and efficient blower performance is expected.
Page 171
SECTION 1 EQUIPMENT CHECK Before uncrating, check the packing slip carefully to be sure all the parts have been received. All accessories are listed as separate items on the packing slip, and small important accessories such as relief valves can be overlooked or lost.
Page 172
Blower inlet and outlet are temporarily capped to keep out dirt and other contaminants during shipment. These covers must be removed before start-up. The internal surfaces of all Sutorbilt units are mist sprayed with a rust preventative to protect the machine during shipment.
SECTION 2 INSTALLATION LOCATION Install the blower in a well lit, clean dry place with plenty of room for inspection and maintenance. FOUNDATIONS For permanent installation we recommend concrete foundations be provided, and the equipment should be grouted to the concrete. It is necessary that a suitable base be used, such as a steel combination base under blower and motor, or a separate sole plate under each.
Page 174
FIGURE 2-1 – BLOWER MOUNTING CONFIGURATIONS 4. Secure the mounting feet capscrews to the torque value in Figure 7-9, page 38. NOTICE When changing mounting configuration, it may be necessary to reposition breather/oil fill (B), oil level gauge (H) and drain plug (A). Refer to Figure 3-1, page 17, for correct location. DRIVE INSTALLATION When selecting a V-belt drive, check to be sure the shaft overhung load limitation is not exceeded.
Page 175
Exceeding overhung load limitations leads to unwarrantable premature bearing failure and shaft breakage. The location of the sheave on the blower shaft greatly affects the stress in the shaft. The optimum blower sheave positioning is as close as possible to the blower drive cover, not to exceed dimension “C” in Drive Shaft Illustration, FIGURE 2-2, page 15 The calculated shaft moment must not exceed the maximum allowable moment listed in Maximum Allowable Moment Chart, FIGURE 2-2 page 15.

OIL LEVEL GAUGE FIGURE 3-1 - LUBRICATION DRIVE END LUBRICATION (For Grease – Splash Lube Blowers) Drive end bearings are grease lubricated at the factory with Lithium Complex based grease. For relubrication, use Gardner Denver AEON PD Grease, Part Number 28H283.
Page 179
DRIVE END LUBRICATION (For Dual Splash Lube Blowers) At the drive end, the bearings are lubricated by the slinger, which must be on the lowest rotor when in a vertical configuration. Approximate oil sump capacities are listed in Figure 3-2. NOTICE Machines are shipped without oil in the sump.
Page 180
Do not overfill as this will tend to cause excessive heating of the gears and may damage the unit. NOTICE Machines are shipped without oil in the sump. Do not operate before adding lubricant. LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS Filling procedure Refer to FIGURE 3-1, page 17. Remove the breather (B) from the gear cover. Add oil to the gear case until oil reaches the center of the oil level gauge (H).
RECOMMENDED LUBRICANT AEON PD Synthetic Blower Lubricant is recommended. Refer to FIGURE 3-3, for AEON PD, AEON PD-FG (Food Grade) and AEON PD-XD (Extreme Duty) part numbers. Order AEON PD from your Gardner Denver Distributor or call Gardner Denver directly. Convenient AEON PD AEON PD-FG...
AEON PD Synthetic Lubricant should be drained after 6000 hours of operation. Re-fill with fresh AEON PD oil. If mineral oil is used, perform the above oil change maintenance every 1500 hours. Recommended service intervals are for normal blower operating conditions. Severe operating conditions may warrant more frequent oil changes.
SECTION 4 OPERATION Future operating problems can be avoided if proper precautions are observed when the equipment is first put into service. Before starting under power, the blower should be turned over by hand to make certain there is no binding or internal contact.
Page 184
BLOWER STARTUP CHECKLIST This startup procedure should be followed during the initial installation and after any shutdown periods or after the blower has been worked on or moved to new location. It is suggested that the steps be followed in sequence and checked off (√) in the boxes provided.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Do not operate blower with open inlet or outlet port. Do not exceed specified vacuum or pressure limitations. Do not operate above or below recommended blower speed range. Blower is not to be used where non-sparking equipment is specified. Do not operate without belt guard or coupling shield.

For Mechanical Seal Version Install 8 bearing retaining screws and washers into the gear bearing retainer plates. Tighten screws evenly. A. Dual Splash Version Install slingers on both shafts. Hold .31” +/_.01” gap between face of the bearing and back of the slingers. Rotate slingers approximately 90 degree apart, apply Loctite 246 on the socket cup screw and tight.
NOTICE Check the clearance over the entire width of the impeller and consider the tightest spot. B. Divide the end clearance by 3 and distribute approximately 1/3 on the gear end and the remaining 2/3 on the drive end. C. To move the impeller assembly toward the drive end, lightly tap the shaft at the gear end with a soft face mallet.
INSTALLING THE TIMING GEARS If reusing the timing gears, the gears should be returned to their original positions. A. Obtain 2 gear locking assemblies. Clean the inside and outside diameters of both locking assemblies. Clean the inside diameter of 2 gears. Clean the outside diameter of the both rotor shafts. Lightly oil the surfaces that have been cleaned.
Page 198
These impeller-to-impeller and impeller-to-case clearances are extremely critical. Even though the blower may turn freely by hand when cold, under operating conditions, the parts expand, and the rotors are subject to slight defection. If the clearances are not sufficient, the impellers may contact each other or the housing with destructive results.
Exercise care not to damage the seal lip as it passes over the shaft keyway. 16. Assemble the gear cover (3) and gasket (7) to the gear headplate (18) using socket head screw (5). Tighten the capscrews alternately and evenly. Refer to FIGURE 7-9 for torque specifications. 17.

EP250 Panel Operation and Troubleshooting Introduction This document provides general information on LOFA™ EP250 panel operation and troubleshooting. EP250 control panels are a flexible platform for diesel engine control, monitoring, and protection, featuring LOFA’s powerful First Fault Diagnostics (FFD). After pinpointing the initial failure, FFD stores it in memory and alerts the end user via a single bright LED.

EP250 Panel Operation and Troubleshooting Important Safety Information The warnings in this publication are not all inclusive. LOFA Industries cannot anticipate every potential hazard. Appropriate safety rules and precautions should be followed with any tool, work method or operating procedure. Improper procedures, tools and materials may cause damage or make the equipment unsafe to operate.
Page 271
EP250 Panel Operation and Troubleshooting Operation Turning the panel key to the run position starts a self-test which causes all LEDs to illuminate once, activates the alarm output for one second and enables the fuel run/stop solenoid output. After self-test, the LEDs indicate the state of the inputs they monitor. The normal indications are battery charge and oil pressure on most applications.
Page 272
EP250 Panel Operation and Troubleshooting The panel has the ability to shut down the engine for over speed. Over speed will be indicated via a blinking Battery Charge LED. The panel senses RPM either by the frequency terminal of the alternator, proximity switch or magnetic pick-up with the optional magnetic pick-up amplifier/divider.
Page 273
EP250 Panel Operation and Troubleshooting Warning! Low oil pressure is not an indication of low oil level. For best possible protection LOFA recommends using our solid-state oil level shutdown switch. Note Most shutdown switches are grounded through the switch body. Do not use insulating sealant (i.e.

EP250 Panel Operation and Troubleshooting ground contact switch. Auxiliary inputs are equipment specific and determined by the equipment manufacturer. A defective switch or shorting the shutdown input to ground can cause fault indications. The panel can be configured with auxiliary 2 shutdown. Preheat LED (Red) A solidly illuminated Preheat LED is the panel preheat indication.
EP250 Panel Operation and Troubleshooting Gauges Voltmeter The voltmeter is connected to the fuel run/stop solenoid output. If the voltmeter does not indicate in the run position, this indicates a problem with the solenoid circuit. A battery voltage reading of approximately 14 volts on a 12 volt system (28 volts on a 24 volt system) while the engine is running indicates the battery is charging properly.
Page 276
EP250 Panel Operation and Troubleshooting Warning! If the temperature sensor is not in contact with coolant due to coolant loss the gauge will not accurately indicate engine temperature. Note Senders and gauges must be matched to indicate correctly. Most senders are grounded through the sender body. Do not use insulating sealant (i.e.

EP250 Panel Operation and Troubleshooting Battery Circuit Requirements Battery Positive Connection The electronic panel operates on either a 12 VDC or 24 VDC electrical systems. The unswitched battery positive connection to the panel is made at the weather proof connector. The panel provides switched positive battery protected by a 15 Amp fuse (12 V or 24 V systems).

EP250 Panel Operation and Troubleshooting engine. Since the panel did not sense a start signal, the fuel run/stop solenoid deactivates after 10 seconds. Voltage drops can be caused by external equipment inrush current, improper wire sizes or faulty wiring. Relays may be needed for long wire runs. Suppression of Voltage Transients (Spikes) Warning! The installation of voltage transient suppression at the transient source is required.

EP250 Panel Operation and Troubleshooting Testing Shutdown Inputs Shutdown switches signal a fault by ground contact in most systems. Shutdown operation can be verified by grounding the shutdown inputs individually. It may be necessary to remove the wire from the shutdown switch to perform this test. Note Most shutdown switches are grounded through the switch body.
