Page 4: Blower Installation Procedures (No Enclosure)
BLOWER INSTALLATION PROCEDURES (WHEN NO BLOWER ENCLOSURE IS USED) 1. Determine where to position the blower. An XT-series blower weighs from 85–116 pounds (39–63 kg), depending on the motor size. The blower will be bolted to a pallet, then boxed for shipment. 2. - Page 5 3. Move the blower into position. If a sling is used, it should be wrapped around the motor and not the blower head. An XT-series blower weighs from 85–116 pounds (39–63 kg), depending on the motor size. 4. Mount the blower on a solid flat surface or blower stand. Tighten all mounting bolts and hardware securely.
- Page 6 5. Using a 5/16” nut driver or a standard screw driver, connect the air filter to the inlet of the blower. The inlet air to the blower must be filtered to remove particulates exceeding 10 microns in size. Improper filtration will void the blower warranty. 6.
- Page 7 7. Check the rotation. After making the electrical connections, proper electrical phase rotation must be determined. Bump start (turn on then immediately turn off) the motor to observe the rotation of the motor fins to ensure that it is counterclockwise when facing the far side of the motor. Do NOT remove the belt guard to determine rotation.
- Page 8 8. If you need to change the blower outlet direction, see page 9. VIEW A VIEW B 9. Remove red cap and install piping to the air delivery devices. XT-series blowers have a 3” outside diameter outlet. Do not use flexible tubing until within 5 feet of the air delivery device. 10.

Page 9: Changing The Blower Outlet Direction
CHANGING THE BLOWER OUTLET DIRECTION TOOLS NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION Nut driver Belt tool Phillips head 1/2” socket 1/2” torque wrench 1. Disconnect power to blower. Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures to ensure that the power cannot be turned on while you are working on the blower. - Page 10 4. Using belt tool, turn motor pulley counterclockwise while simultaneously slipping belt off blower pulley. Set belt aside. 5. Remove connection to air delivery devices. 6. Remove the filter by unscrewing the wing nut. Slide filter and housing off blower head. Place aside.
- Page 11 7. Using 1/2” socket, loosen eight bolts around the blower pulley that hold the blower head in place. 8. Steady the blower head with one hand while removing bolts.
- Page 12 9. Rotate the blower head to the desired outlet position. 10. Reinstall eight bolts and finger tighten, supporting the blower head on the other side of the plate. 11. Check pulley alignment by using a straight edge to ensure motor pulley and blower pulley are flush to +/- 0.02”.
- Page 13 12. If not aligned, the motor pulley can be adjusted using a 3/16” hex wrench and the bolt installation tool. Loosen both bolts, then remove one of the two bolts on motor pulley. (The belt installation tool can be used to hold the motor pulley while loosening the bolt.) 13.
- Page 14 15. Tighten blower head bolts to 15-ft-lbs (20 Nm) of torque. Be careful not to damage the blower pulley while tightening bolts. 16. Reinstall belt by reinserting the belt tool, then wrapping the belt around the blower pulley first, then the top of the motor pulley, then turning the belt tool counterclockwise to move the belt into place.

Page 16: Blower Installation Procedures (With Blower Enclosure)
BLOWER INSTALLATION PROCEDURES (WITH BLOWER ENCLOSURE) XT-300 XT-500 1. If you have purchased a blower enclosure from Paxton Products, the blower will be shipped already installed in the enclosure, and the entire unit bolted to a pallet, then boxed or crated. 2. - Page 17 5. For XT-300 with enclosure: a. Unbolt enclosure base from pallet. b. Move blower with enclosure base into position. An XT-300 blower plus enclosure weighs 135 pounds (61 kg). If a sling is used, it must be wrapped around the motor, NOT the blower head!
- Page 18 6. For XT-500: a. Cut straps holding the enclosure base to the crate. b. Using a forklift, remove the blower and blower enclosure from the crate and move into position. Be sure to lift the blower enclosure directly underneath the enclosure box and not at the bottom of the stand.
- Page 19 7. Position and level the enclosure. Tips for blower positioning: a. Position the blower as close as possible to the target. The length of piping from the blower outlet to the air delivery devices should be minimized. b. If the blower will be placed more than 10 feet but less than 20 feet from the target, 3”...
- Page 20 9. Make electrical connections to the motor. Switch off and disconnect electricity at the circuit. Follow the wiring diagram on the motor nameplate or the enclosed Motor Wiring Diagram to connect to either the power supply or the variable frequency drive (VFD). ...

Page 22: Installation Of The Outlet Air Filter
INSTALLATION OF THE OUTLET AIR FILTER While inlet air filtration is required on Paxton Air Systems, Paxton also offers outlet air filtration as an option for critical applications. Outlet filtration is available in NANO and HEPA qualities. Outlet filtration housings are sized to minimize pressure drops across the filter, to maintain system pressures at the target, thus ensuring the highest quality blow off, drying or rinsing. - Page 23 3. The outlet air filtration housing comes equipped with a filter gauge for monitoring the pressure drop across the filter. The gauge must be zeroed at startup. To zero, start the system and allow it to reach target flow rate (10–30 minutes). With the clean filter installed, and using a small flat head screw driver, adjust the gauge to read “0”...

Page 26: Starting And Stopping
STARTING AND STOPPING Blower performance over the long term is maximized by minimizing starts and stops. If your application requires frequent starts and stops, the installation of a variable frequency drive (preferred) or soft start system is highly recommended to reduce the initial start up torque. This is particularly critical for larger horsepower models. -
