FOREWORD â Gardner Denver blowers are the result of advanced engineering and skilled manufacturing. To be assured of receiving maximum service from this machine, the owner must exercise care in its operation and maintenance. This book is written to give the operator and maintenance department essential information for day-to-day operation, maintenance and adjustment.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Safety is everybody’s business and is based on your use of good common sense. All situations or circumstances cannot always be predicted and covered by established rules. Therefore, use your past experience, watch out for safety hazards and be cautious. Some general safety precautions are given below: Failure to observe these notices could result in injury to or death of personnel.

There is no guesswork in the manufacture of your highly advanced Gardner Denver blower and there must be none in preparing the blower to get the job done in the field.
STORAGE Your Gardner Denver Blower was packaged at the factory with adequate protection to permit normal storage for up to six (6) months. If the unit is to be stored under adverse conditions or for extended periods of time, the following additional measures should be taken to prevent damage.
REMOVING PROTECTIVE MATERIALS The shaft extension is protected with rust inhibitor which can be removed with any standard solvent. Follow the safety directions of the solvent manufacturer. Blower inlet and outlet are temporarily capped to keep out dirt and other contaminants during shipment. These covers must be removed before start-up.
SECTION 2 INSTALLATION LOCATION If possible, install the blower in a well lit, clean, dry place with plenty of room for inspection and maintenance. FOUNDATIONS For permanent installations 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.
NOTICE When changing mounting configuration, it will be necessary to reposition oil level gauge (H), and drain plug (A). Refer to , page 8, for correct location. FIGURE 3-1 DRIVE INSTALLATION When selecting a V-belt drive, check to be sure the shaft overhung load limitation is not exceeded. Refer , page 6, for overhung load calculations and limitations.
All system piping must be cleaned internally before connecting to the blower. Gardner Denver blowers are shipped dry from the factory. Do not attempt to operate the blower before following proper lubrication instructions. Permanent damage to the gears, bearings and seals will occur.
SECTION 3 MAINTENANCE FIGURE 3-1 - LUBRICATION A. Oil Drain Plug B. Plug/Oil Fill H. Oil Level Sight Gauge GENERAL Blower efficiency and life depend on the quality of maintenance the blower receives. Maintenance must be done regularly and with care. Clean work space, tools, solvents and wiping rags are necessary to avoid transferring dirt into the unit.

AEON PD Series Lubricant is formulated especially for positive displacement blower service to provide maximum blower protection at any temperature. One fill of AEON PD Series Lubricant will last a minimum of 4 times longer than a premium mineral oil. Refer to FIGURE 3-3, page 10. * For ambient temperatures less than 10 F, but not less than -20 F, the use of oil sump heaters or...
AIR FILTERS AND FILTER SILENCERS Servicing the air filters is one of the most important maintenance operations to be performed to insure long blower life. Servicing frequency of filter elements is not time predictable. A differential pressure indicator, with a continuous gauge reading, should be installed across the inlet filter.
SECTION 4 OPERATION Future operating problems can be avoided if proper precautions are observed when the equipment is first put into service. NOTICE Machines are shipped without oil in the sumps. Do not operate before adding lubricant. Before starting under power, the blower should be turned over by hand to make certain there is no binding, or internal contact.
“Jog” the unit with the motor a few times to check that rotation is in the proper direction, and to be certain it turns freely and smoothly. The internal surfaces of all Gardner Denver units are mist sprayed with a rust preventive to protect the machine during the shipping and installation period. This film should be removed upon initial startup.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1. Do not operate blower with open inlet or outlet port. 2. Do not exceed specified vacuum or pressure limitations. 3. Do not operate above or below recommended blower speed range. 4. Blower is not to be used where non-sparking equipment is specified. 5.

SECTION 6 DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 1. Remove the screws (46) and lockwashers (48) from the port connectors. Remove the connector (52) and gasket (51) from the inlet and discharge ports. 2. Inspect the interior of the blower for any signs of rotor contact (rotor to rotor, rotor tip to case, rotor end to bearing housing).
Page 27
21. Remove the 6 socket head screws (21) and washers (20) that attach the bearing housing (24) to the air Cylinder (22). 22. Remove the bearing housing from the air cylinder using two 2 jaw pullers. The puller jaws must be narrow enough to fit in the rectangular holes in the bearing bosses.
SECTION 7 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 1. Apply a light coating of loctite 620 to the outside diameter of 2 inserts (32). The wide face of the inserts must face the air side of the bearing housing (24). Position the holes in the inserts so that they are located at the 3, 6, 9, and 12 o’clock positions in the bearing housing bore.
10. Measure and record the total rotor to bearing housing end clearance for each rotor. This is accomplished by using a depth micrometer to measure the distance from the top edge of the air cylinder to the top of the rotor lobe while the rotor is held as vertically as possible.
20. The number measured in step 19 should be .004 - .005“. If it is less than this then shims equal to the difference must be installed on the shaft of that rotor. 21. Lower the rotor and remove the eye bolt. Remove the false bearing. Install the required amount of shims (13) as determined in step 20 onto the idler rotor shaft.
27. Position the air cylinder vertically with the drive end on the top. 28. Apply oil to the drive and idler rotor bearing bores in the bearing housing. 29. Place the air cylinder vertically in a hydraulic press with the drive end on top. The bottom of the idler rotor shaft must be in contact with the bed of the press.
37. Using feeler gauges measure the clearance between the rotor tips and the air cylinder. This measurement should be taken for the drive and the idler rotor. The first measurement (for both rotors) should be taken on the inlet side of the air cylinder (by going through the inlet port). The second measurement (for both rotors) should be taken on the discharge side of the air cylinder (by going through the discharge port).

48. The first step in setting the interlobe clearance is to measure the total clearance between two meshing lobes. This is accomplished by determining the maximum feeler gauge thickness that will fit between the rotor lobes near the pitch diameter. The pitch diameter is just above the transition point from the flank of the lobe profile to the hub diameter.
FIGURE 7-7 – TIGHTEN SETSCREWS 55. Apply loctite 243 to 6 set screws (57) {M6 x 12mm}. Install 3 of these screws into each of the 2 gear locking assemblies. These set screws go between the existing screws in the locking assembly through the unthreaded holes in the outer ring into the threaded holes in the inner ring.

60. Install an oil slinger (27) onto the drive end of the idler rotor shaft and (83) on drive rotor shaft. 61 Apply Loctite 262 to 2 bearing locknuts (36). Install the locknuts onto both of the drive end rotor shafts using nut driver tool (EQ143816).
