SECTION 1
EQUIPMENT CHECK
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.
Customers are cautioned to provide
adequate protection, warning and
safety equipment necessary to protect
personnel against hazards involved in
installation and operation of this
equipment in the system or facility.
STORAGE
Your Sutorbilt Blower was packaged at the factory with
adequate protection to permit normal storage for up to
six (6) months.
If the unit is to be stored under adverse conditions or
for extended periods of time, the following additional
measures should be taken to prevent damage.
1.
Store the blower in a clean, dry, heated (if
possible) area.
2.
Make certain inlet and discharge air ports are
tightly covered to prevent foreign material from
entering the air box.
3.
All exposed, non--painted surfaces should be
protected against rust and corrosion.
4.
Provide adequate protection to avoid accidental
mechanical damage.
5.
In high humidity or corrosive environments,
additional measures may be required to prevent
rusting of the blower internal surfaces.
6.
To prevent rusting of gears, bearings, etc., the oil
reservoirs may be filled with normal operating oil.
Before running the blower, drain the
oil and replace to the proper operat-
ing level with clean, fresh lubricant.
7.
Rotate the blower shaft (10 to 25 turns) monthly
during storage. Inspect the blower shaft (near the
shaft seal area) monthly and spray with rust
inhibitor if needed.
8.
For long term storage (over six (6) months),
contact Gardner Denver Customer Service for
recommendations.
REMOVING PROTECTIVE MATERIALS
The shaft extension is protected with rust inhibitor
which can be removed with any standard safety
solvent.
Follow the safety directions of the
safety 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.
The internal surfaces of all Sutorbilt units are mist
sprayed with a rust preventative to protect the machine
during shipment. Remove this film upon initial startup,
using any commercial safety solvent.
Position the blower so that the inlet and discharge con-
nections are in the vertical position (vertical airflow). On
vertically mounted units, it will be necessary to lay the
unit on its side supporting the ends of the unit so as not
to restrict the port on the bottom side. Place a shallow
pan on the under side of the unit. With the blower dis-
connected from power, spray the solvent in the top port,
rotating the impellers by spinning the shaft manually.
Continue this procedure until the unit is visibly clean.
Rotating components will cause
severe injury in case of personal
contact.
Keep hands away from
blower inlet and discharge ports.
