    Specially ordered blowers with nonstandard construction, or with rotor end clearances greater than shown within the Assembly Clearances table, will not have the operating limits specifi ed here. Contact your Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems sales representative for specifi c information.
  • Page 9 NOTE Remove the protective covers from the shaft and inspect for damage. Carefully check to ensure that no transit damage has been sustained. If damage has occurred from shipment a claim must be fi led with the carrier immediately; preserve the shipping container for inspection by the carrier.

  • Page 10: Location

    (See the Motor Drives section for more information.) Blowers from Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems are internally and externally treated after factory assembly and testing to protect against rusting in normal atmospheric conditions prior to installation. The maximum period of internal protection is considered to be up to 6 months under average conditions, provided closing plugs and seals are not removed.

  • Page 11: Soft Foot

    Repeat steps 4 and 5 on remaining feet. 5.2 SAFETY Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems recommends the use of relief valves to protect against excessive pressure or vacuum conditions. These valves should be tested at initial start-up to be sure they are properly adjusted to relieve at or below the maximum pressure differential rating of the blower.

  • Page 12: Lubrication

    5.3 LUBRICATION Every blower from Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems is factory tested, oil drained and shipped dry to its installation point. Both independent oil reservoirs must be fi lled to the proper level before operation. Oil reservoirs are under vacuum.

  • Page 13: Filling Procedure

    5.3.1 FILLING PROCEDURE See Figure 5. Recommended lubricants are shown on page 35. 1. Remove fi ll plugs or breathers from both gear end and drive end plates. 2. SLOWLY pour oil through fi ll until oil appears in the oil sight glass. Bring oil level to center of sight glass. 3.

  • Page 14: Hazards Associated With Breakdown Or Ignition Of Lubrication

    5.3.3 HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH BREAKDOWN OR IGNITION OF LUBRICATION DANGER There is a risk associated with the lubrication media breaking down and resulting in a hazardous fl uid or vapor. There may also be a hazard associated with the ignition of the lubrication media. Refer to the lubrication manufacture’s applicable instruction for safety precautions.

  • Page 15: Cooling Coils (Optional)

    Blowers supplied with coiling coils can also be identifi ed by the hose that connects the top of the gear (drive) end cover to the bottom of the free (non-drive) end cover. See Figures 5 and 6 for details. Tuthill Vacuum &...

  • Page 16: Motor Drives

    Proper gap between coupling halves must be established according to coupling manufacturers instructions with the motor armature. This will minimize the change for end thrust on the blower shaft. All direct coupled base mounted units must be re-aligned and greased after fi eld installation. 5.7 MOTOR DRIVES Two drive connections commonly used are direct drive and V-belt drive.

  • Page 17: Setting V-Belt Tension

    Check blower after installation and before applying power by rotating the drive shaft by hand. If it does not rotate freely, look for uneven mounting, piping strain, excessive belt tension, or coupling misalignment. Check blower at this time to insure oil was added to the reservoirs. 5.7.3 SETTING V-BELT TENSION Proper belt tension is essential to long blower life.
