SECTION ONE:

LUBRICATION

Anti-friction bearings and precision, steel helical gears are oil lubricated by a completely self-contained splash
system which atomizes the oil. No external oil feed systems or coolers are required.
Units are shipped with oil in the gear case or bearing housing. Do not operate before checking lubrication. The
vent and oil level plug arrangement are shown in figure 8. Remove the oil fill plug from the fill hole at the top of the
cover and the plug from the oil level hole located at the side of the headplate. Fill the housings until oil drips out of
the oil level hole. Do not overfill. * Replace both plugs. Use Walinga Super Duty Blower Oil (Walinga Part# 98-
13813-5) In most cases, operating temperature of the blower will be in the 100-250 Deg. F. range. Normally the
gear case should be drained, flushed, and refilled every 100 hours or annually. If inspection indicated it is
necessary, do at shorter intervals. The oil level should be checked daily.

* On units equipped with sight glass, check to be sure that oil levels registers a quarter of the sight glass.

SPECIAL NOTE: As a result of blower operating temperatures, condensation can occur and result in water formation
in the lubricating oil reservoir. It is important that any water accumulation be eliminated, in order to ensure proper
lubrication and long life.
Allow blower to cool down before driving away to prevent condensation and freeze up in cold weather.
