5.2.2 BLOWER OIL CHANGING AND BREATHER CLEANING

The gears that drive and time the blower lobes
run in an oil bath for lubrication. Maintaining the
correct level in the reservoirs and changing
every 100 hours will insure proper lubrication.
When maintaining the blower, follow this
procedure:
1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially
small children.
2. Place all the controls in neutral, stop the
engine and the remove ignition key or
disconnect the PTO drive line/power
source before starting maintenance.
3. Checking Oil Level:
a. Remove the level plug in each
reservoir or check the sight glass.
Check the oil level only when the oil is
cold and the machine is level.
b. Oil in the reservoir should just fill the
threads of the level plug hole.
c. Add oil if low or allow the reservoir to
drain if overfilled.
IMPORTANT
It is necessary to maintain the
recommended oil level in the reservoir. A low
level causes heating from lack of lubrication
and rapid gear and bearing wear. Too much oil
causes heating from oil churning and can
cause seal and breather leaks.
d. Install and tighten the level plug.
