SECTION 1
GENERAL INFORMATION
INSPECTION
Before uncrating, check the packing slip carefully to be
sure all the parts have been received. All accessories
are listed as separate items on the packing slip, and
small important accessories such as relief valves can
be overlooked or lost. After every item on the packing
slip has been checked off, uncrate carefully. Register
a claim with the carrier for lost or damaged equipment.
The inlet and discharge openings are fitted with protec-
tive covers to prevent dirt and moisture from entering
the blower during shipping and installation.
Do not remove and dispose of the
covers until final checking and instal-
lation.
Covers are lined with a “Corrosion Inhibitor” which will
inhibit rust for a period of six months. Retain covers for
use in reshipment or relocation of the unit.
Temporarily remove the protective covers and inspect
interior of air chamber for foreign material or heavy
rusting. Turn driveshaft to assure that lobes rotate
smoothly without binding. New blowers may be difficult
to turn by hand due to friction of the air seals. Once in
motion however, there should be no indication of inter-
ference between the rotors and the housing or end-
plates. Report any suspected mechanical problems
immediately to your authorized DuroFlow distributor.
REMOVING PROTECTIVE MATERIALS AT START--
UP
Blower inlet and discharge are temporarily capped to
keep out dirt and other contaminants during shipment.
These covers must be removed before start--up.
Failure to remove covers from blower
inlet and discharge prior to start--up
will cause machine damage.
STORAGE
Your DuroFlow blower was packaged at the factory with
adequate protection to permit normal storage for up to
six (6) months. Under the best of storage conditions
there is still a potential for damage to occur. Extended
storage preparation is available from the factory, prior
to shipment, at a small additional charge. If the unit is
to be stored under adverse conditions or for extended
periods of time, additional measures should be taken
to prevent unwarrantable damage.
1.
Store the blower in a clean, dry area.
2. Make certain inlet and discharge air ports are
tightly covered to prevent foreign material from
entering the air chamber.
3. All exposed, non--painted surfaces should be
protected against rust and corrosion.
4. Make sure all vent breathers are in place.
5. Provide adequate protection to avoid accidental
mechanical damage.
6. In high humidity or corrosive environments, addi-
tional measures may be required to prevent
rusting of the internal surfaces. Mist spraying the
impellers and air chamber with a rust preventative
will protect these surfaces from rusting. To
prevent rusting of gears and bearings, add one
pint of VCI oil in each oil reservoir. (Ref. Part
Number 28H280 per quart)
7. Rotate shaft by hand weekly to prevent bearings
from taking a set and to keep seals soft.
Before running the blower, drain the
oil and replace to the proper operat-
ing level with clean, fresh lubricant.
Rotating components will cause
severe injury in case of personal
contact. Keep hands away from
blower inlet and discharge ports.
