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 17, for correct location. FIGURE 3-1 For Vertical Models, the oil slinger must be on the lower rotor or blower failure is immediate. DRIVE INSTALLATION When selecting a V-belt drive, check to be sure the shaft overhung load limitation is not exceeded.

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.

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.
