SECTION 2
INSTALLATION
LOCATION
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.
Before grouting, equipment must be leveled, free of all
strains, and anchored so no movement will occur
during setting of grout. After grout has completely
hardened, a recheck is necessary to compensate for
shrinkage, etc. If required, add shims under blower feet
after final tightening of foundation anchor bolts to
remove strain from the blower housing.
Where jack screws or wedges are used during
grouting, they must be backed off and wedges
removed before final tightening of anchor bolts.
Where a concrete foundation is not feasible, care must
be taken to insure that equipment is firmly anchored to
adequate structural members.

LIFTING AND HANDLING
Reasonable care should be taken during unloading and
moving to insure against undue strain on the blower.
