Although Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems blowers are well designed and manufactured, problems may occur
due to normal wear and the need for readjustment. The following chart lists symptoms that may occur along
with probable causes and remedies.

SYMPTOM

PROBABLE CAUSE

REMEDIES

Loss of oil

Gear housing not
tightened properly

Tighten gear housing bolts.

Lip seal failure

Disassemble and replace lip seal.

Insuf

cient sealant

Remove gear housing and replace sealant.

See Disassembly

of Blower on page 30

Loose drain plug

Tighten drain plug.

Excessive
bearing or gear
wear

Improper lubrication

Correct oil level. Replace dirty oil.

See Lubrication on page

Excessive belt tension

Check belt manufacturer’s speci

cations for tension and adjust

accordingly.

Coupling misalignment

Check carefully. Re-align if necessary.

Lack of volume

Slipping belts

Check belt manufacturer’s speci

cations for tension and adjust

accordingly.

Worn lobe clearances

Check for proper clearances.

See Assembly Clearances on

page 40

Speed too low

Increase blower speed within limits.

Obstruction in piping

Check system to ensure an open

ow path.

Knocking

Blower out of time

Re-time.

Distortion due to
improper mounting or
pipe strains

Check mounting alignment and relieve pipe strains.

Excessive pressure
differential

Reduce to manufacturer’s recommended pressure. Examine
relief valve and reset if necessary.

Worn gears

Replace timing gears.
